I mean, if you just google 'Why do people hate BMW drivers', you will see pleeeenty of very bad words against BMW folks..im really wondering, how come all this happen..im really curious to hear your thoughts guys..Linky:http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1328643http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091114120014AAanUDnAnd there is even facebook group of haters..unbeliveable..http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-HATE-BMW-DRIVERS/113676608647436
 
BMW mostly drive by youngster (compare to benz owner), so the reason being.

Sometimes no need to flash.... they'll give way straightaway... :D

Betul! couldn't agree more with you, boss. just got back from JB to Batu pahat. Even I drove it within speed limits, people tend to give way still. :burnout:

thanks for sharing bro.. now i know wat others feel..
 
Because we can take corners without slowing down, which they can't, hence the name calling.. :4:
 
Maybe the same reason Top Gear gave BMW nick name, cock car. Hah

In short, people don't give a damn if you drive like a moron in other car so long it not any expensive car notably BMW and Benz.
 
I think it's different in Malaysia. Here the BMW is a car many people aspire to have as a sign of success in life. Most Malaysians can only afford a BMW's after their thirties, whether new or used, so they tend to be more mature when using their cars.

Anyway the car that causes so much hatred locally is the Myvi, especially the yellow one.
 
I see more Kancils, Myvis etc overtaking me more! Anyways, perhaps if we were to look into the thread in here about Putrajaya's dangerous stretch, that may give us a clue. As a new owner of a BMW I have to say in the past I never saw beemer owners are the Mad Max of Malaysia. Perhaps its just the typical bitchin' that you get on the net?
 
Myvi , Saga BLM and every Evo wanabe they always think that they are the road king.
 
when one BMW owner meets another BMW owner also creates a lot of difference ..especially when they drive a newer model ...psstttt

but i love overtaking the newer models and watch them tailing me till i'm tired .... ohh well ....
 
I have very high respect for another BMW car on the road, regardless of model and age. I usually will tail them and admire their car a bit.. plenty of time for them to give way or speed up, failing which, I'll over take.. even from the left if I have to.. I won't flash I won't honk.. because I think it's rude.. :4:
 
astro ...i'm yet to meet you on the road ....only in kopitiam and 7'11's leyyyy ...
 
I am quite a dick when i drive my bmw so i apologize... but what to do cause all the gti's and the TT's and the type R's and the evo's and the wrx's of this world keep tailgating me. I don't want them to say that bmw drivers are poseurs. Generally i think GTI drivers have the worst reputation always looking for a race.
 
we aint morons...look at all those locally made cars....even a BLM overtook me when i was doing 150kmh... i could of course easily floored him, but what is the f#@%ing point...
