Yes its the people that strive to get that base model 3 series, so they can pose to their neighbours and think, I've made it in life......
Then they drive around like they are soooo much better than everyone else. I've given up on the amount of idiotic driving i've seen from someone in a 3 series beemer! Agree with what you say about the higher models although I have seen some right "bar stewards" driving like kn8bs in M3s!!
I only honestly feel that I couldn't buy a BMW out of principle, no matter how good the cars are! For example, think Kev's 6 series is nice, like the M6..... and I actually quite like the look of the twin turbo 3 series coupe etc, but I just couldn't do it.....
