Why?So a 3 series then.

Audi's as well in my experiance.I am sure that I am quite fortunate that most of the time I am out riding my bike, that I do so on B roads or single lane A roads, which means that I do not encounter to many car driver who act like idiots when the encounter a cyclist.
Apart from the young boy racers in their Corsa's, Clio's, Fiesta's etc.... the other type of car driver that I seem to have problems with is drivers of BMW's, of which I am sorry and ashamed to say that my current company car; which I inherited when I joined the company at the start of the year is a BMW; thankfully this will change soon.
Perhaps the reason why so many people who drive a BMW, drive like idiots is because of this perceived general reputation and therefore they think to themselves that they might as well drive like idiots anyway. Whatever the reason, I am getting so fed up with the way that I am treated by these drivers when I am out on my bike.
It will be good to hear the views of others and if they get the same treatment?
They do say Audi drivers are ex beamer driversAudi is the new BMW
so you are saying that people only feel that they've 'made it' in life, when they can afford a 7-series BMW? I can't afford a car of any kind, yet I don't feel like I haven't 'made it'! I'd be amazed if I can afford any more than a 10 year old Ford by the age of 65, yet how many people do I see in their early 20s driving £20K cars - quite a few. Having money depends on birth and luck but only occasionally on hard work and intelligence.I had a BMW when I was with my ex wife. It was a 750iL. The ex was a director for a large electronics component supplier, so I got fed a diet of flash motors whether I wanted them or not.
The 7 series was a genuinely expensive motor. The arriss Bimmer drivers are the 1,2,3,and 4 series owners who have a BMW badge, but haven't actually quite made it in life. They take out this inadequacy and resentment on other road users.
The X5 is brilliant in the snow. Depends what tires you have. Put the BMW OEM tires on a range rover and that will be useless in snow too.It would be more so, as the great unwashed think the likes of an X5 must surely be brilliant in the snow so the effect is magnified when they discover It is not.
