Do you fit a typical BMW driver/owner stereotype?

Drag racing is racing!

GenXer · 04-19-2020, 10:55 AM

There's drag racing and then there's Drag racing.

What if I wear leather M gloves but always use turn signals?

advrider6510 · 04-19-2020, 01:42 PM

Turn signal? What turn signal?

too good hahahaha

Germanauto · 04-19-2020, 03:32 PM

At least most BMW owners know that BMW's don't need blinker fluid, unlike Toyota owners and many other owners!

I wouldn't say that's the case...all those people that simply have business leased BMW's have no clue about anything other than what the badge says.

Possibly true. But more enthusiasts and people who actually know how to drive cars own BMWs vs. Toyota. I would still guess that more Toyota drivers (and really most Japanese car owners) would fall for the blinker fluid prank.

So far 49% say "Drive much faster than the speed limit" ... isn't it obvious? We have BMW's LOL

Some are close though. For example, I stick to the speed limit, especially in towns/populated areas...but I don't slow down much for corners. So some people (my partner) still think I drive fast (she speeds a lot more than me!).

5.M0NSTER · 04-20-2020, 03:57 AM

I just thought of a feature our BMWs are missing. For those equipped with cameras/radars for adaptive cruise control, once the radars detect a slower moving object in front (even when cruise control is disabled), they should automatically flash the high beams.

Classic BMW

I'd say I'm more dressed to kill than anything. I get a lot of shit for it but I don't care. My family has been dressing this way since 1900 so I don't see what the problem is.
