I hate BMW driver's soooooooooo much !

[Rossco]

Today on the way to work im cruising along in my car (Honda Civic Type R)when some @rse in a shiny BMW 330 ci decides to cut me up almost taking my front bumper off. I sound the horn and he then proceeds to gesticulate at me calling me a w@nker.

He then drops a gear and floors it. Now call me childish, but i thought "nah f*** you BMW boy, you aint getting away that easily", and decide to follow after him.

So he's flooring it, and im flooring it, and low-and-behold im gaining on him - significantly. So much so that i have to ease off the accerator before driving up his exhaust pipe.

BMW boy is by now beginning to panic, staring into his rear view mirror wondering why his 3.0 ltr £30,000 230bhp flashy car is being caught up by my little £15,000 car. You can tell he is panicking because he starts to wave across the road, whilst staring into his mirror, and a big plume of black smoke shoots from his exhaust as he is franticly trying to change gear as fast and as hard as he can.

Next thing whilst staring into the rear view mirror with a look of horror, he swerves over the white line towards the central reservation, and kicks up a big dusty / stoney cloud which proceeds to take a chunk out of my front windscreen. @rse !!!!!!!!!!!!

Suppose you could say that its my fault for chasing after him, but why on earth do these BMW to$$ers think they can bully people out of the way, cut people up and basically rule the road.

The chip on the window was almost worth it to see the look on panic in his rear mirror as i gained on him with a big cheesy grin on my face. Hopefully he will have gained at least a little more respect for the 'Type R' brand.

What amazes me is that they think they are quicker than bikes too

One thing that truely pissed me off the other day was i was sat at some lights at a round about waiting to turn left. the lights go amber, i get ready to go. then a BMW doing about 40-50 shaves past me also turning right. the twat very nearly hit me, the wind off his car nearly blew me over. i rode off follwoing him only to see an "MCN" sticker on his bumper. Twat.

You'd get TPO for about 900 quid from elephant/admiral on that.

Heh, I had a funny encounter with a BMW. Was a new shiny one, no idea what model.

Anyway I was behind the BMW and there was a car in front. The car in front turned and the road was narrow so we had to stop.

I then pulled out to the right to overtake once we started moving again, however Mr BMW didn't want me to and tried to accelerate off.

Mr BMW then got owned by a tatty £600 bike. Nothing fantastic, but it made me feel good, and I bet the driver was annoyed.

Had the same thing with a sporty MG saloon today. Seemed hellbent on proving he could keep up with an R1, he was all over my rear end as I sedately pulled away from the lights.

Now he knows he can't............

I hate BMW drivers as well as those Mercedes effers too!

Think it was about a year ago that Richard and I were knocked off a bike by one whilst coming to a set of red traffic lights. Not only were we left lying on the floor, but the idiot drove off as soon as they lights turned green.

bmw drivers think they own the road

the other morning i was riding pillion on my friends zzr600 on the way to work

a bmw in front.. nothing special just a 320i 0-60 in a painfully slow 7 seconds

decided to drive up the arse of the car in front in a 30 zone


he then pulled out into the other side of the road as if to overtake
when he saw us behind.. then just sat there and did nothing even though the road ahead was clear.. this was about ten to seven in the morning


my mate went ballistic at the driver shaking his fist at him..


when we got onto the 60 zone country road we overtook him and i looked down my nose at him and shook my head at the driver



a civic type r,audi tt (maybe the 3.2 one at a push ) and an bmw m3, audi rs6 e.t.c have got some serious top speed


but a gsxr600,1000,r1 e.t.c even a 400 would nail them 0-60


mr bmw man e.t.c lives in a dream world and tries to pull into you when you go past them

[tony532]

sorry mars bar

i just meant the bmw drivers that think they own the road

cheers for not taking offence

Praise the Lord! I was beginning to think that it was just me that had trouble with BMW's. It seems somedays that every other car is a BMW and I reckon 1 in 20 of the people who drive them are half decent drivers. The rest.......??

My daily motorcycling is usually 12 miles of filtering! The arrogance of these drivers is breathaking. If they see a bike they purposely block your way! The car attracts a certain type of person and driving ain't one of their strong points!

i had some trouble with a BMW 5 series just now, one way system, i overtook he didn't like so swung out floored it past me then swung in, him having to slow at speed bumps drops to about 10, i 30ish at them, so get in front and drop to about 10 and everytime he goes to overtake i move over and block,

[Clanger]

My partner drives a BMW 5 series, but only cos its a diesel dog that trundles to Heathrow & back daily, using rarely any fuel and is comfy for long distance and has lots of space in the back for getting DJ decks & sound system in to do parties...its an awesome workhorse that has saved us oodles in monies (no van required). Previous car was a shit hot VW Polo G40 - lightweight and held the road like nobodies business. But it had to go cos we need the space for the bikes and the money to pay off the debts.

I usually find that its the blokes in the really flash shiney big cars like BMW's, Mazdas and Volvo's who are tw@ts on the roads...specially the ones who fail to realise 'they' should give way to traffic on the Mway when they come on the slip road -rather than the other way round! They drive on and straight out across the lanes cutting up anyone in their way..where are the traffic cops when this shit happens?

Interesting...

It appears that it's the 'working class' that actually have issues with branding a typical BMW driver, just that - a typical BMW driver.

Quite frankly, I couldn't give a toss about what brand the car is displaying, it's the driving experience that's the winner. (along with many other variables, such as reliability, quality, efficientcy, dealership service etc)

BMW work hard and invest masses of monies into the developement of their products and it shows. I don't think it's fair that every BMW driver should be branded in a similar fashion as to those who've chosen the car they've chosen just for the brand. How owuld you like to be branded a "manic to society" for those odd one or two knob-less motrcycle riders? It's something narrowminded folks amongst us get stuck into and can't get out of the habit.

The 330ci is a cheap mans M3, was most likely actually an Automatic and with the black smoke shit - a diesel too. Chances are the lane change was also on inpulse, resulting in you being cut-up.

0-60 the Civic Type-R would keep up without any trouble due to the power-to-weight ratio advantage, but above 100mph the torqueless motor in the Civic would struggle.
