The BMW lane

[Wigsie]

P.S. Will I be less of a c*ck or the same level for selling the M3 and getting a diesel?

All about fuel economy now!

Never understood the fuss about BMWs - they're as common as muck these days.

Whilst I would agree that it's the driver rather than the car that's the problem, a fair number of them do seem to buy BMWs. X5s are the worst.

Ever driven one?

BMW used to make beautifully engineered cars which were a joy to drive. Now they build bloated overweight status symbols.

Whilst we are on the subject of better cars than most of you have, I've had my Range Rover Sport for nearly six months now and I haven't yet received my certificate confirming that I own the road, how long do these normally take to come through?

This is true, the X5, X3 and X6 are all as you say, bloated status symbols that are pretty rubbish at what they are designed to do.

The new diesel engines are awesome in particular the 123 coupe diesel is a perfect little car. It is similar to bikes I guess ( )and down to personal preference, I test drove VW, Audi, Ford and Vauxhall 4 door family saloons before getting my 3 series and it was head and shoulders above the lot, worth waiting at the junctions because no fecker lets you out!

Yes, a 5 series. It was quite nice.

You should've had it with the log book? I'd get onto them sharpish...................



I prefer Audi's to BMW's, I just like the way they do things, better.

Mind you, I had a go in an M3 once, that was very nice . It was almost as nice as my Quattro Turbo

 

[Mr Pig]

I think that is more your problem than theirs MrPig

Absolutely, agree with you there. D*** heads are everyone else's problem.

This may be becasue most are retired so they dont have to risk the lives of 'lesser mortals' in order to get to work 20 seconds faster than if they actually waited.

I am glad I am not working then . If spending those twenty seconds at work was more important than someone's good health and welfare, and possibly even, twenty, thirty or even forty or more years of someone's life. I might conclude I had my priorities wrong.

But then being older, and having more insurance , I have realised that I can wait patiently behind a slower moving vehicle, because I have the brains to allow time for journeys. Even if I were to be twenty minutes late for work, (as happened recently), my colleagues would also have the brains to accept that delays may happen.

I have a BMW. It's a really really nice car. Big V8. Very fast.

My willy is, statistically, slightly above average.

And you can all go f*ck yourselves.

Kind regards,

Onanism and BMWs - somewhat fitting?

Of course there was a time when you used to move over for a Humber Hawk, Austin Westminster, Rover 3 Litre etc. But this was simple common sense when you were driving an Austin A30! These did not have an obnoxious air to them however.

A lot of this BMW reputation was actually invented by BMW themselves when their cars really started selling in the mid/late 1970s and the most potent advert was the one of the BMW in the outside lane with headlights on announcing it's arrival to all other motorists. This focused the attention of every Jag, Rover, Triumph 2000 / 2.5, top range Ford Corsair etc. driver on the road. I had a 6 cylinder Triumph myself which could almost outrun anything but these little BMWs had red hot handling. Now I tend to obstruct obnoxious motorists rather than challenge, I love to hold em up behind either the van like proportions of my Berlingo Multispace, or terrorise em with a bullbar from hell on my old Vauxhall Frontera.

I get out of their way as fast as. I'd rather the twats were off miles away from me than sitting on my bumper.

 

[Fab Foodie]

If it's of any use, I shall be next door to the BMW factory in Munich for the rest of the week, I could try and find out what the special ingredient is that makes so many of their product owners complete twats and whether Audi have stolen it from them in some kind of industrial espionage scene... or maybe BMW's built-in twat-maker patent has expired.

I never really noticed BMW drivers until the last few years but there really is some dodgy driving out there and there seem to be a huge increase of the same.

....and no im not jealous because I don't own a BMW and have no intention of buying one.

Granted they look like nice cars but it seems like every comedian apart from me can own one.
