Driving BMWs
I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -

Yes because when you get behind the wheel, you turn into a right tit!!! Your driving standards decline, you lose concentration and act like a twerp!!!
Maybe generalising a little but not much!!!"If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

That could be true only if people have never driven a RWD car and/or are inexperienced drivers. I'm afraid the one thing you can't slate about them is the handling!...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Probably this is just a myth and perhaps it was due to very old BMW whose reactions where incredibly oversensitive. However, as in all myths there might be some truth in it.
Interesting about the chavviness of BMW. True that in UK is a 99% owned chav car but most of it belonging to drug dealers-crime offenders. If you go to the mainland then it is a well respected car owned mainly by wealthy professional people.I've seen much of the rest of the world.

Ive got in trouble a few times toeing it a bit much off roundabouts, I had new Dunlop tyres put on a while back and while they are quality in the dry when it rains sometimes it's like driving on iceComment
