Then I brake violently down to 70 as we approach a gatso, tw*t in vectra doesn't notice it and continues to press on.

That's uncanny, I had a very similar experience except I was in a 318 touring at the time and matey was in a mini cooper. He was tailgating me so hard in the outside lane that he didn't notice the police car in the inside lane. I bottled him up a bit with a minibus in the middle lane and timed pulling over to "let him past" just right so he ended up doing a showy zoom past the police car. On came the blue lights and I chuckled along at 70.

Could be... but more likely because a lot of drivers don't use their mirrors or indicators. That's plain stupid and annoying no matter what marque you drive.

A few inconsiderate egotists spoil it for the rest of us. You could write a book on this subject but it comes down to the fact that the offenders are often impatient / arrogant "thrusting types", who in turn tend to have German cars and drive them in a manner that says how they feel about other road users (they're there as target practice or to be ignored / intimidated). But bad driving isn't marque specific - I think people tend to notice / object more on the whole if the idiot is in big shiny car.

Cloud wrote:I don't see the E30 as a typical BMW. When I think BMW driver I think about the posh knobs in Seven series, rich w**kers in X5s, twentysomething hotshot players in Z4s. (I don't know any of those kinds of people. The people I know with Sevens, X5s, and Z4s are just ordinary nice people.) The E30, as an image, is driven by sensible 45 year old women with medium sized dogs and crow's feet, or tall goons in expensive jeans who prefer caning the fury out of the machine to just carpark diffin. They're not accurate stereotypes either, but the point is that they're not BMW stereotypes. The E30, the 2002, and the M1 seem to avoid the curse of their badge. I think.
I have to say that the worst drivers on the road all seem to drive black X5s. Don't know what it is about the X5, but they always seem to be driven exceptionally badly.

Then again, they bought an X5 instead of a Range Rover.... :-p

Slagging is fun, but I own both. There's very few E30s faster than a Fiat Coupe turbo. 20V has 220bhp out of the box and weighs about the same as an E30. Mine is a 16V (integrale engine close as damnit) and at 190bhp it will leave an E30 325 for dead. Don't talk to me about "I'd lose it in the twisties" because you won't.

E30 is RWD fun, doesn't have torque steer, is easy to work on DIY without losing all the skin on your hands and I love it. But don't race a Fiat coupe, most of the drivers hate BMWs with a passion and love the fact that most people think they're slow-assed Alfa GTVs.
oh my god someone who likes fiats well i suppose someones got to :roll:

If you can bear much verbose sargasm, this is mildly entertaining:

It begins:
"It has been my constant source of puzzlement
as to why BMW drivers are the worst, most inconsiderate
morons on the road."

i currently own a fiat van, have had 3 fiat cars previous to an alfa 147, then the e30, and have very little complaints. obviously the odd thing will go wrong on them but nothing serious. i personally happen to love fiats and hate ford and vauxhall, so everyones opinions will obviously be different.
