Reverse prejudice: decades ago, I was informed by someone who seemed to know, that getting a BMW turns everyone into a**holes. I tucked that away and never forgot it (obviously!
). It is telling, that my prejudice has been reinforced TWICE in four road trips: the only two excesses I have been guilty of ("excesses" translated to: extra legal speed) were prompted by BMWs acting like asshats. I took after them and made sure they discovered that this KIA cannot be shaken off. I succeeded. The first took some convincing; pretty much an hour's worth; the second figured it out in under a minute.
I do not judge people by their cars. But both were BMWs. Oh, and the first instance involved a third driver in, you guessed it, another BMW. So for a while I was a Stinger sandwich between these two Bimmers. The rest of the time I watched the two of them going at it, and kept them in view handily. When the initiator (a BMW i8, btw) finally had enough, and pulled over to the right lane and slowed to "civilized" speed, I passed and got a look at the driver; and the asshat was a girl, with long, straight beach bleached blond hair.
All the talk on here about "
badge snobs" is reverse snobbery. I don't mind admitting and pointing it out.
