What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?........


The porcupine has the ****** on the outside. Its scientifically confirmed !!!

You are incorrect sir.

It's Prius drivers who are the biggest jerks.

hahaha good study!

 

We have a 2000 BMW M roadster. Should I be offended???

 

Only at a crosswalk!!!

 

I have an E46 M3 and love driving it. Not sure how accurate the study is but I'll agree a large number of expensive car owners are jerks, Corvette owners included

 

We purchased a 2008 BMW 328i Convertible in March. Very nice car. I had to travel from NC to Harrisburg PA to get the car, then drove down I-81 to southwestern VA to visit my mother before heading back home to the NC coast. My perception, based on that trip and then the limited amount of behind the wheel time my wife has allowed me to have since bringing the car home, is that I find the average motorist dislikes BMW drivers even more than they dislike Corvette drivers. I've seen people go out of their way to screw with my when driving the BMW. It's the same issue that has been talked about in many threads on this forum regarding Corvette ownership. People are jealous of what the don't have or can't afford and perceive those who do own such cars as rich ******.

 

I love bimmers...I have two. I think overall there are two types of bimmer owners...enthusiasts and status seekers. The enthusiasts are fine, but they represent a small portion of ownership...its the unmodded, drive it to the office types that are high and mighty.

 

My daily driver is an '09 128I, really like it, don't give a Rat's A#% what anyone else thinks............................

 

Here's another data point:

Last week I was at a stop light on a major highway, two lanes each way with a center turning lane.
The light turned green but no one moved because we had been hearing an approaching ambulance. Its lights were flashing and the siren was one of the loudest I have ever heard.
Next thing I see is the ambulance slamming on its brakes and nose diving to a stop. A red BMW had run the red light on the cross street in front of the ambulance forcing the ambulance to a panic stop to avoid a collision.
As the guy in the BMW accelerated away, I could see the big smile on his face.
What a class act.

The rabbit was running through the woods when he heard cryes for help. He went and found the horse stuck in a deep hole.
_Rabbit, please help me get out-said the horse
-OK, let me go get my BMW and I'll get you out.
The rabbit goes starts his Bimmer and comes back to pull the horse out with a rope tied to the bumper and pulls him out.
The next week the same story repeats, but this time the rabbit is stuck in the hole.
-Horse, please help me out, I hooked you up last week.
The horse gets his d!$# hard and offers it to the Rabbit
-Here! Grab it and I will pull you out.
The rabbit did and the horse got him out. What is the moral of the story?
-If you have big d!$# you don't need a bimmer.

 

Overall, I tend to not worry about bimmer guys...my modded z handles them easily at the road course, on the street, wherever...

Here's a recent bimmer I am workin on...this is my gf's e46 330ci. I wrapped it matte metallic blue, lowered on h&r sport springs, plastidipped wheels, plastidipped kidney grills, new tires, csl front bumper, etc. dudes wouldnt leave her alone when she got out of it stock...now its really gonna be bad...lol. She loves the car...manual of course...

Cant have a bimmer thread without a bimmer to show...hehe. Almost done with it...

 

That looks outstanding. More details on the wrap? I'd love to change the color of my E46 as silver is kind of boring.

Here's mine:

 

 

The Yahoo! article mentions both BMW and Prius drivers, and I can't disagree with the claim that many drivers of either one act like they own the freaking roads.

I don't know how many times I've been stuck behind a BMW (or Prius) driver who refuses to move out of the fast lane to let the long line of traffic behind them go by. If an empty space opens up in the next lane they'll actually speed up so nobody can pass, then slow back down again once the opening is blocked.

Many times these are the same drivers who will shoot across five lanes of traffic after they enter the freeway just so they can get into the fast lane and drive slow. Then they shoot back across the five lanes of traffic so they can exit instead of getting over ahead of time, risking the lives of everyone who happen to be in between them and their exit.

As my Corvette is my daily driver I have a little fun messing with them as they can't hope to outrun me.

 

Sounds like one perverted horse when he could have just used his tail

 

WOW! This hit home because it so TRUE. I used to hang out with a high school buddy of mine regularly until the day I brought my 2010 BMW 535i Msport home. I've known him for 15yrs and We'd been hanging out for the last 6yrs, clubbing, partying, hitting up the river in HS and College, he went to my wedding, I went to his, He went to my baby shower, I went to his etc. So he was a close friend just to give yall a perspective of our friendship. The first question he asked, was did you get rid of the vette? My answer was Nope!.

He has a 2009 BMW 528i base, not even a sport pkg and thought he was Don Coreleon. He drove that thing around like he was in 2013 BMW 750i on 24s, wouldn't drive over 40mph, turning into driveways and intersections at under 1mph, constantly talking down on people and their cars and pulling up in front of store windows to see the reflection of his car and he'd always say, "Success". The first thing he said to me when I brought my car home was, "Oh you think your car is better than mine because I have the base model". And I was just scratching my head like, huh, wtf just happened. We had a fall out and He hadn't picked up any of my calls since, but it's amazing how that car changed his whole personality.

It's crazy how the jealous and envious side of people come out of bag when you get something nice. Fake *** cloak & dagger friends.


We bought our cars for 2 different reasons as I didn't buy a base model BMW 5 series just to HAVE one to be snooty and perpetrate in to look as though I have money as the way he did. I bypassed the 528 because it too damn slow and the 550i b/c of the lack of mod potential. Majority of BMW owners are full of themselves.

I think I'm the only 5series owner in Texas that you'll see at the E85 station and averages max boost and 7k rpms everytime I drive it. No wonder why BMW owners are always complaining about oil leaks, carbon clogged injectors, etc. Of course you are going to run into a shitload of issues with DI and 2-3k rpms max everytime you drive it. It doesn't hurt to take it over 4k rpms, DRIVE IT more often.

Sorry for the rant..........

 

Well, you know that if you ever buy a used BMW, the flasher stalk on the steering wheel is always in a pristine, unused condition..........

 

Only took you an hour...

I tried a few tests on twitter, but didnt work. Corvetteforum....wow! Crazy person!

 

I share your pain. You should see the looks I get when I'm out in my 2013 Cruze.
