People block my driveway almost everyday because its entrance is next to fire hydrant, so instead of taking a chance and parking by the hydrant and not being an a-hold, they completely obstruct my driveway's entrance, because I can't write tickets..
I don't care if you're driving a Bugatti, you're a penis if you do that ish.. You wont understand unless you're in that situation like every other day.. |

Perhaps the guy who yelled at OP didn't need to be so harsh. But OP coming here with a sob story--well, sorry, no sympathy from me. Last edited by tex2670; 08-10-2018 at 03:11 PM.. |

I just assume I'm being judged while I pass everyone on the highway. Sorry my car likes to go fast.

Yeah, that's a douche move in itself....dude was probably pissed about that already then he parked in his driveway? He's lucky that all he did was block him in. It had nothing to do with the brand of car that made him look like a douche. Sorry OP, but the moral of the story is - don't park in driveways that aren't yours regardless if you think they are vacant. other people's property |

I found I was treated differently on the road when I drove my wife's old X1 compared to my 335. Typically, I don't get cut off in the 335 (and I do a ton of driving for work). I often would get cut off in the X1. I think people judge the SUV/Wagon type cars and figure they can just behave how they want.

Yes--he decided he could park on the vacant lot that he had no right to park on, and then one dark night, he didn't park on that driveway, but on the driveway next door. That's how I read the story.
Which means that if he didn't help himself to the vacant driveway (which he has no right to park on to begin with) for his own convenience, then he wouldn't have made the mistake of parking in the neighbor's driveway. Many of us have lived in urban areas where parking is a challenge. The world does not owe any of us a parking spot right out front--that only happens in the movies.

I find that people don't let me in when I want to merge, or they cut me off. Had a hire car while mine was in for a service and it was a completely different story driving a Corolla. haha |

Once, I overtook a Ford Taurus driver who was doing 5 MPH below the speed limit in the far left lane (3 lane highway, also known as the passing lane). As soon as I passed him, he increased his speed and we took the same exit, and he said a bunch of nonsense and kept saying "I was a typical asshole European driver" I assumed he was talking about the BMW in regards to European, considering I don't know what "European" looks like?? I usually drive with all my windows down rather then use the A/C. I just laughed and said have a nice day bud and drove off when the light turned green.
But in terms of your story, don't think he cared you drove a BMW. Because people with new/used/shitboxes/exotic car do this. Do you know how many times I have seen someone block someones driveway because people are to lazy to find an actual spot. I feel like this is a lazy thing, instead of taking the time to go and find an actual spot someone decides to just park anywhere they feel is easiest and fastest for them. Be considerate, I don't think you or anyone wants to come how from a long day and see a car blocking there driveway and blocking them from being able to park there car and go inside and enjoy a damn drink. I would be pissed too. Sorry OP, but you fucked up. |

Yes, the op was at fault, as he admitted from the beginning. If I were him I'd have listened to the guy's diatribe without contention since I was wrong, but only to a certain point. When he began telling his children how I'm a bad person, we would have had a problem, and it might have gotten ugly. Adding that is going way over the line. At that juncture, he more than made his point and he simply took the opportunity to humiliate and bully the op.

I wonder how much demographic has to do with it. I live in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley. You can spit in any direction and hit a BMW/Mercedes/Audi/etc (just please don't spit in my direction). I think if someone had a gripe against drivers of those brands around here, they would have a mental breakdown every day on their commute.

Same here. BMW is entry level decent car for anyone with a decent income in southern CA and 3 series are a dime a dozen. Yes, I have gotten stereotypical jabs and things from coworkers and a few comments before but end of the day, no one cares about BMW 3 series around here. It is the Camry of southern CA. It merely an acceptable mode of transportation and you can pull up to any valet at any restaurant or club anywhere and not be shamed.

Pfff .. you got lucky ! My garage neighbor had my old E92 towed [while I was away in Europe cousin asked to use my car - so he did, and parked it in the wrong spot upon returning ...]. Calls me back : "Yeah bro, all good ! Thank you !! I parked it right back, its in garage safe n sound !!!! All good bro !!!! "
So, a couple of days later I get back home; rested and chilled coming down to the garage .. "WTF !!! Where's my car ?!?" So yeah dude, you got lucky ) p.s. that being said - I do get weird looks occasionally from my co-workers for no reason :/ ... an odd feeling |

As others have said, but different location (chicagoland) you see many very expensive, very fast cars here, especially in summer. So a nice 335i doesn't draw much attention. However I have had in the last week TWO v6 accord drivers try to race me lol go figure...
