I'd say 9 out of 10 BMW owners I meet bought their car for the badge.
They couldn't explain what RPM means or what Mobile 1 means if their life depended on it. The sole purpose of their BMW purchase was because they want to appear car savvy to the world. BMW told them repeatedly it's the "ultimate driving machine" and they heard from a friend of a friend that Auto Trend magazine (they're too clueless to know it's really Motor Trend) voted the 3 series the best car when tested. Plus, the one guy at their country club who supposedly races at the local race track drives a BMW. Just don't ask them what model he drives because they don't know the difference between a M3 and a 135i.
