Being a BMW and a Porsche owner, I just have a love for the cars. Perhaps I'm too old to have the desire to be a gnat to a driver who's just enjoying their drive. Somehow I always thought it was the younger drivers who acted this way but I have witnessed older drivers act the same way--perhaps trying to recapture their youth.

BMW's are EVERYWHERE now. Seems like everyone has a beemer....no originality left out there. So yeah, with that many on the road....some drivers will be dinks. There are a number of Porsche owners who aren't much better.
Ever try to talk to a hardcore 911 owner? Painful!

Agreed they are everywhere, however as a BMW owner II understand why...good cars. My wife and I attended a car show last year in Nashville....the reason you see so many...you can drive a 3 series for within 15% the price of a Ford or a Chevy

There's no doubt the BMW is a good car - but that 15% is still a lot of cake. There are many people and reviews out there that would argue the Ford Fusion for example is a better car than the 3 series. Heck, Top Gear was one of them, and they kinda knew their stuff.
But again, not saying there's anything wrong with the BMW - jut lots of cheaper options that actually rank as high or higher in quality and customer satisfaction.
