I always have an > image of BMW drivers being very pushy: "get out of my way" sort of thing. Are they too common, or do you simply notice them more than other cars? Do a fun experiment and count the cars passing by on the freeway. Then provide some figures. I can't speak for other countries, but in the Netherlands you'd lose count of the Peugeots, VWs, Fords and Opels before you count a couple of BMWs. Yet, I *see* more BMWs (or expensive Mercs and Audis) simply because they stand out more in traffic. Same thing for the "Get out of my way" thing: a Golf or Peugeot that's being pushy on the freeway would leave a less lasting impression on you than that one shiny BMW. I can't remember all the Renaults and Volvos and VW driving up to my tailgate, probably thinking, "yeah, I'm gonna show this BMW my car's better/faster/whatever". Very occasionally I see a BMW or an A3 do the same. Yet *those* times I can remember. People see what they wanna see. Peter
