I HATE BMW DRIVERS (facebook group)

[bss325i]

My girlfried put me on to this as although i have a facebook acount, i rarely go on there.

I had to have a dig as some of the idiots think 2CV and fiat coupes are better cars!

its becuase there jelous, as FIATs are unreliable

and becuase there not all with it

[E30BeemerLad]

there are some real helmets who drive BMW's though, notably of the E46 & E90 variety or whatever is up for serving from carcraft at 5 years @ 35%.

I had a loon not long back came charging up behind me in an E90, sat on my arse very close for a while, i was in the valver and moved aside at about 90 thinking it could have been a 330 or something, he wheezed past me only to discover it was a 316 pov wagon and I had clearly taken away all of his momentum he had built up over the last mile, so he got some tailgating action despite trying to escape like a scared rabbit before being despatched to the noise of valvetrain clatter

[Jhonno]

French car drivers are the complete Helmets!! Audi's and Merc's run them close though

i once had a fiat,it was like having a dose!!my mate calls his alfa a fast fiat..

[E30BeemerLad]

I had a V6 164 Lusso, I rather liked it

only thing alfas and fiats are fast at is rusting!!!

[E30BeemerLad]

the old (pre-90's) stuff was bad but since then they have been better, better than some BMW's infact

[Alex]

to be honest i will have to agree with that, newer cars dont seem to rust as much

but i still like to slag them off

FIX
IT

Groups or people?!

[rebelcruiser]

audi a3 drivers are by far the worst

although you do get the odd bell end in an e46

as for alfas and fiats

[DaveD]

hate to say it but I have a 16v Fiat coupe and it has been a very reliable car ....no real problems and no rust ...I use it as winter transport only ...(the cab hibernates till April)..a good motorway cruiser and quite economical ...but I do prefer rear wheel drive the coupe is a bit twitchy on the twisties.. the beemer is much more predictable

[Rich_W]

I used to work with a guy who told me BMW owners were idiots. I explained time and time again. It's not our fault we are just better than everyone else.



I think he thought I was being serious...

Seriously, who cares what other people think of our over engineered German pig iron cars.

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.

Could be worse........This could be the Volvo 740 forum...!!!!!!!!!!

[Returnof318i]

Too right, jealousy is a terrible thing, and so is all the other cars on the road

i typed in bmw hate and 120 different groups came up!

[Morat]

Sadly a lot of people do hate BMW drivers. Its probably that air of superiority we give off as we look down on lesser marques

[BMracing]

Its usually mondeos and vectras that drive up my arse on the motorway, often while i'm innocently overtaking. I find people in exec mobiles drive more maturely (generally!).
I usually respond by decelerating a bit and delaying pulling over for a few more seconds after finishing my overtake.
After slowly wafting over to the inside lane I look right to see a fat white shirted man making a rude hand gesture. Upset, I drop a cog and unleash the overwhelming power of the m20b25 as he tries and fails to angrily floor it past in top gear in his forgettable diesel hatchback.
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.

Flash.. flash.

Audi drivers are the new "bmw" Drivers


when i was in the audi dealership with my dad last year the bloke said we want to be the new BMW and out sell them, well they done it in terms of rep mobiles and company cars my dad did that change from bmw to audi bad move in my opinion his 730i was far better

look on the bright side it gives BMWs a luxury status again i suppose

[scootlife]

The lease car companies flood the market with certain cars, as the dealers want more of their vehicles
out there to help with resale values/popularity etc.
Last year i could have had an A6 tdi with sat nav for £199 a month....
year before a colleague had a CLK , and i think they only paid £189 a month for that....

Maybe there was a brief period in the last few years when this was the case. But BMW are stealing the corporate market back with Efficient dynamics and some clever marketing of it. Their CO2 emissions figures are unrivalled in this sector, not to mention the fuel economy. These are priorities for company car drivers. And yet they offer the best performance. No brainer really. And I work for Audi!

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.

To dumb people we are all alike.

Tarred with the same brush!

[poolnoodle]

Real stigma around BMW ownership in Australia - rich wankers only apparently. I try to ignore it and the fact my E30 is worth about AUS$3000!!!

[Bewdley320T]

I followed a Red 325 E30 Touring in Bewdley for a couple of miles after he cut me up by doing a right turn out of a side road onto the A456. This junction is well signed as "No Right Turn". (it involves going about 100yds to a roundabout and was done due to the number of accidents caused by turning right across the flow of traffic). He turned on and off main roads about a dozen times without one signal and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know where his mirrors are. I did take his No to put up on here but I've lost it although I do see it fairly often and will name and shame him in future.

My Family just says, It's Company Car Drivers!



Of Course i'll be a careful driver when I get my license! You know i've got plently of experience from my go-karting championship
(I'll Have to be careful for insurance reasons...........REALLY!)

[jamie323i]

There is good and bad drivers of all marques.

Seriously think about the people you see hogging the middle lane,not indicating at junctions,on the phone while driving,driving too fast through town centres...never seen a BMW driver doing any of those...usually in the right hand lane

Ay! Watch it! Not all French car drivers are helmets,I find in the R5 it's everybody who wants to bully me out there,however,i'm in a thirty quid car,no one f ucks with me,not even artic drivers,I've "owned" a lot of people who thought they could,tail gate/cut up/pull out etc etc etc
