I drive a Bimmer, and I hate most Bimmer drivers. Nothing says I'm fresh out of college with a $60k a year job like a leased 3 series, and the terrible sense of entitlement that comes along with it. Nothing like being bred by Motor Trend, Car & Driver, and Road & Track to think they are god while spitting off all the remarks like "laser accurate steering, balanced handling, and high quality interiors."

Modern BMW's are GARBAGE. They've lost many aspects that used to make the car special. Now they are as uninvolving to drive as a Toyota, have interiors that are outclassed by almost everyone, and relentless electronic nannies. Snap the throttle closed to try and kill the relentless understeer mid corner? Nope, the electronic throttle knows that might get the back end loose, so it'll slowly close the throttle (well, actually change the intake lift). Enjoy your heaps of understeer.

Steering feel? Drive a well sorted E36. Balance? Drive an E34. Sound? Drive an E34 M5. Comfort? Drive an E38. Want the best of everything? Drive an E39. Euro snobbery is so passe, and it scream's I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

*Disclaimer* I used to be a BMW nuthugger when I was a teenager, and then I grew up, and realized I was missing out on a whole world of wonderful cars. First car I didn't like because I was an idiot was the 350Z, and after I spent some time in it, realized what an idiot I had been. Sadly most BMW douches aren't that wise, and don't grow out of that phase.
