The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.)

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?) Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph! Naturally, I got to within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car. Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast! Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3). But the man at the Police Station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

See, now THAT's the sort of respect you get when you buy and drive a BMW!

Yep, sums up the average BMW driver - although there are exceptions (as always).
I take it there are a few of the Bavarian Motoren Werken products on the roads in NZ then?

A recent motoring programme in the UK called 'Top Gear' summed it up really with a picture of a turd with a BMW badge sat in it.....i.e some poeple will buy a pile of $hit as long as it has a BMW badge on it. :-D :-D




/okay, okay, .....they make some very good performance cars and performance diesels......but they're vastly over-priced for what they are.

We get Top Gear in NZ also, Not sure how up to date our episodes are though.

Plenty of BMWs around in NZ. Seems to be plenty of most cars actually.
LOL, my mate took my car in to get wheel alignment today (got 4 wheels aligned, extra negative camber and a slow leak pluged all for $50!) and some bird in her BMW cut into the left lane, sped up and then had to jump back behind my mate (and tailgated him) cause there was someone in the other lane.

Apparently he just squezed the throttle and left her eating VR-4 dust :-b
