BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 Hrmm wonder if that was the same M5 that I was in last October going around the Ring. There were a few close calls during my lap, these things have a lot of understeer driven any thing over 8/10ths around the ring. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 f**k you in your flash BMW, I am not letting you in, how dare you try and merge in that merge lane when I was here first, i will shift into the middle lane after you merge at the same time blocking someone else trying to do 100.. Same old rant. I get *555'd on a weekly basis from drivers who I scare when simply tryng to drive 100kph. Thuglife. THIS, is a very valid point, & something I have very much noticed since buying my BMW - the attitude of other drivers towards BMW drivers is just shocking in a lot of cases - its been quite eye-opening............!!! I just indicate and come across these days .. They eventually move The art is giving them plenty of warning and not looking at them. Never been tooted at as most people get that the situation leaves no other choice. I tend to drive quite assertively the bulk of the time, & yes, muppets do eventually move. Mind you, what I normally drive weights 3 tonnes, operates 'lights-on' all the time, is fairly hard to miss seeing unless you've got a guide dog, has good air-horns for those that need woken up while they're driving, & if push comes to crunch, has really good bull-bars & full length side-rails..............its probably not a vehicle to have an argument over road space with.........

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 Its usually the posers in poverty spec e36's that give BMW drivers the bad rep but im glad i don't commute in Auckland often Frequently on 'chromies', slammed springs, drain-pipe exhaust, & wearing a baseball cap backwards.............with the mighty 318 'big-block' auto, power-pack propelling the whole disaster along the road.. Not that I want to generalise or anything........... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 .... it's the drivers of those souped up cars whom give me the most hassles on my SH20 commute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1661 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 In my experience its usually just pretty std ones that sit up peoples rear ends, obviously bad driving not just limited to BMW but i think people tend to notice bad BMW drivers more. For me its the Ford\Holden drivers that i notice more than others - sitting up my ass, sitting in right lane etc but they will always bitch out when it comes to going around a corner at speed then proceeding to try to catch back up.

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) When on-road on a motorbike, one thing that's always stuck with me is 'the more expensive the car, the worse the driver is' in a lot of cases, whether its Euro or a top end Japper..... And people movers, when on a bike (in general really). Especially Honda Oddity's................they are the worst in my experience!!! (Usually driven by some blind inbred retard that should be a walker, rather than a driver.....I hate people movers with a vengeance..........!!)
