What's wrong with Dublin reg. BMW drivers?

When driving I've often remarked that drivers of black BMWs rarely make an appearance without doing something dangerous or stupid on the road, like speeding, overtaking on a bend or overtaking me on an unbroken white line even though I'm slowing down to turn off and they just can't wait. It's always a black plain 3 series (presumably they want a BMW badge on their car but can't afford an M3 or a 5 series) and always, always D registered. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

Maybe It's just 1 person who really dosen't like you?

maybe you are jealous that they can just about affored a basic 3 series while you cannot?

they think they're better than everyone cuz they have an expensive car, but then when they go out they realise it's becoming common to own a beemer and take their rage out on everyone else on the road.

Is it possible that you're the bad driver, and driving dangerously slow?

Some idiot woman in a BMW overtook me while I was overtaking somebody else a couple of weeks ago, and it was only so she could turn into a car park that was about 50ft up the road. But it wasnt a black one...

And to add to the stereotype, personally I find people in SUV's worse! But people in all sorts of cars do stupid things all the time.

TBH - women in Black SUVs tend to be far more dangerous, they tend to forget that other people exist on the road...

Yes because we should all be taking tight corners at 60 :rolleyes:

It happened again. I was parking bumber-to-bumper on Friday and thought I was close enough to the car in front (a black 3 series BMW) but when I got out the back of my car was sticking out. This was because the BMW had gone too far and was parked partly in my space. It was a Tipperary South registration this time, but the TS are a bad crowd too.
