PSA: Purchase a BMW, get your own lane for free.

Just like the rest of you have probably noticed, driving your Veyron every day is not smart. Racking up miles on a car like this isn't a good idea, even though I could afford 10 more of them if needed. So I decided to look for a daily driver.

The BMW salesman I was speaking with let me in on some insider information. When you buy a BMW it now comes with your very own lane. It's that lane on the far left. I always thought that was the passing lane, but I was mistaken.

Now I can drive just under the speed limit in the far left lane and not worry about anyone ever getting in my way or slowing me down. The first day I noticed some cars getting right on my rear bumper, flashing their headlights, passing me on the right and honking their horns at me. I called my salesman to inquire what that was all about. He laughed and said, "You own a BMW now, they don't really exist. Don't worry, you will get used to your BMW soon."

He was right, the second day I hardly noticed anyone on my tail, and by the third day, I no longer saw any other cars on the road at all. Also, since I have the road to myself, when I reach my exit I can just swerve accross 3 lanes without using my signal or rearview mirrors. These BMWs are great!
 
PSA, your bullshit opinions are not a public service announcement.

Having said that, I notice most BMW drivers are dick holes.
 
My high school was populated by a bunch of rich white kids. The ones who drove all had expensive cars like BMW's.

I found that generally, the more expensive the car, the more of an asshole they were as a driver. Terrible drivers, and the worst part is, one kid had his car totaled 3 times and got a new car every time.

I mean, how much of a dick do you have to be to race down a 30 mph speed limit road at a 130 mph? I don't care if it was 2AM. At least that guy had his license suspended

What do you mean by 'opinion'? I am just letting my fellow ATOTers know about some information I have just discovered. :colbert:

Maybe this should be moved to the hot deals forum. :hmm:
 
They are nice cars with a slick design. Wish I could afford one. 🙂

I know this is on my buy list in the next few years. The wife said I could get a mid-life crisis car. Just have to wait for the full mid-life crisis to hit:

Not true. Helluva lot of Dallas drivers drive exactly like this, whether they're in a donk Towncar with 30"s, beater POS Geo Metro or Bimmer.

That's my car! lol

Actually, it's not, but I know that car. It's the same year/model as mine, and I have the same rims.

From when I hit a deer. (when replacing from bumper cover, I went with the M class version, not the original that was there originally.)

Ahhh.. I'm about to buy an 08 or 09 5 series or an audi a6 08 or 09.. cant justify the price of a brand new one when in 3 years I'm going to lose half the money..

Anyone have a 5 series or an a6? I'm looking at both this weekend. Any insight?
 
That doesn't apply to just BMW's. It also applies to those on cellphones, women, people eating, elderly, snackers, readers, and so much more.

If you don't mind going a tad smaller, consider an M3 instead of a 5 series. It's one of the best driving cars in the world.
