BMW Sterotype

Obviously not everyone acts like this. However, I wonder what are everyone's thoughts about BMW drivers being douchebags.

Yes, we all are

NYBulldog · 09-22-2015, 10:14 PM

Hmmm... I want to say its like a part-time job. Only part of the time we are douchebags. We all have different percentages. I'd like to say I'm about 20% db. My db rating was higher when I was younger lmao.

The stereotype fails to recognize the fact that those endowed with the Royal Entitlement gene drive Audi and Lexus -- rather than BMW -- in increasing numbers.

Not enough context on that video to make an assessment. IMHO it could have been the driver in any make of car that did that. Now... The douchey move was the way he spun off leaving two tire marks like he was the effing man. That was a delta bravo move.

No. That's definitely me.

I admit I drive too fast, it's so effortless and the car handles so well...but, I'm sure the slower drivers I pass think I'm a DB. I signal, I don't brake check people, but I do change lanes a lot to "better my position." I am keenly aware of the rep BMW drivers have...I drove the same way in my 2014 Camaro SS, but in THAT car, that kind of driving was red-neck-cool and earned me thumbs up!

Before I owned a BMW I really didn't have much of an opinion on the brand, other than it was a girl's car

Supermoon · 09-23-2015, 04:02 AM

I first thought it's a truck that might have done something to that bimmer
and what? it's an ambulance? Something's seriously wrong here..

When the ambulance driver attempted to overtake a foreign car, BMW prevent this maneuver, locking the medical car. The man, who was driving a sport coupe, the driver began to show gestures of "first", he turned to the right lane, and then got out and repeated roughly the same words. "You do not come to the challenge, I see it perfectly. You use [inaudible] for other purposes, in violation of the Administrative Code. You are not allowed to drive on the left lane, "- said the driver of BMW.

It must be losing something in translation from Russian, but it sounds like the complaint was that the BMW was being driven too slowly? That must be a first.

This reminds me of the douchebag I saw driving an e39, he stuck his middle finger at the guy that honked him (he deserved being honked at).

The complaint was that the ambulance was driving too slowly yet it was in the far left lane. As professional drivers they clearly should have known better. However actually getting in front of them and going so far as to stop the ambulance to get it to get in the slow lane was dangerous and definitely douchey.

belcom · 09-23-2015, 07:24 AM

Road rage in Russia is not for the failt-hearted which is where this happened. The m6 driver is beyong db and should've had his face "fixed" for this. The ambulance drivers were too polite, way too polite. People like this are usually siblings of wealthy and/or powerful parents and think they can get away with anything. I doubt it has to do anything with the brand of the car.

I'm the same, but have driven similarly in every car I've owned. I like to think that I'm actually engaged in the act of driving, not just riding along in my car steering it where I want to go.

The difference now is that I finally have the handling, braking and performance to take my aggressive driving to a whole new level. As such, I oddly find myself doing the opposite and easing off at times. Maybe it's like in a econo box, I had something to prove. Now, I know my car performs better, but I don't need to prove it.

I do however take off ramps, on ramps and turns at a nice clip when my path is clear.

MRamos · 09-23-2015, 04:09 PM

It's more amongst younger people. My plate says IM 18 on my E92, lol. Just for shits and giggles. Some people have called me a douche and I've seen others take pictures and laugh, so..
