Fantastic cars. E63 Wagon or CTS-V wagon are on my 'if you could only drive one car till you die' shortlist. But they're out of the reach of the proverbial 99%. No one cross-shops with a Hyundai Tucson or Ford Escape.

BMW drivers really are jerks, studies find

Drivers of BMWs frequently come in for anecdotal criticism for habits on the road that are perceived as aggressive.

Now, a couple of studies, one in the U.S. and another from the U.K., appear to provide statistical evidence that BMW drivers are, to be polite about it, complete jerks.

In the older study, by researchers at the University of California, BMW drivers were far less likely to stop for a pedestrian who had just entered a crosswalk, the New York Times notes.

“In our crosswalk study, none of the cars in the beater-car category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians," researcher Paul K. Piff told the paper. He added that not only were "fancy cars were less likely to stop," but also that "BMW drivers were the worst."

Drivers of BMWs and other high-status cars (including Prius hybrids) were also more likely to cheat at four-way-stop intersections, according to the research.

In the second study, in the U.K., motorists were asked to identify the make and color of the car from which they have most frequently suffered road-rage incidents, the Daily Mail reports.

The study of 2,837 motorists found men between the ages of 35 and 50 driving blue BMWs were most likely to be reported as having engaged in road-rage behaviors such as aggressive driving and swearing. ..

Old old joke. What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?




The pricks are on the outside of the porcupine.
 
So, I'm driving my Dad's old 2006 Volvo V50...I was thinking about getting a new car, but if I move to Toronto next year, it might not be worth it. Anyone here ever deal with a similar situation?

It depends on where you're living and where you're working. If both are in the city, you can get by without car.
