yea gonna have to disagree 100%.
you are basically saying if you can afford nice things you are a douchebag.
No, I'm not saying you ARE a douche, I'm just saying you give off the douche vibe. It's almost like you have to prove you're NOT a douche, when you step out of the car. There is a certain sigma that's associated with BMW that for some reason I don't associate with other brands like Audi, Lexus or Cadillac. Maybe it's because I've always heard from people that own one say, "I have a BMW," like they have something special. Then you find out they are leasing it, then you find out it's a $30k 328i. I then just roll my eyes. I think it's the wannabes I've run into in the past that have ruined the brand for me.
That being said, I'm looking forward to BMW announcing the new 2014 M3 (rumored M4). If it's a smash hit, I may have to get over my negative stigma and bite the bullet.
