We park in packs and create a protective layer against random people who think other cars are there to rest their doors on as they climb out.

When a nice car (doesn't have to be a luxury car but a car that looks like it being taken good care off) im fine with it, because I know they won't treat my car like crap because they take care of their own...

To be honest it is a great feeling to see another car thats taken care of parked next to me, makes me feel good for some weird reason.

Passengers that get scream or throw up when I'm "driving"

People who close the door on my F32 by grabbing the window glass, not the door handle.

Which is why I carry a bottle of spray detailer and some microfibers in the trunk, to get rid of that stuff as soon as I can.

I see an F30 320i, black over black, parked near my work nearly every day. For the last two days there's been a white splotch in the middle of the hood. Grrr.

1. Slamming the sun visors instead of gently closing them.
2. Putting your feet on the dash.
3. Slamming the door/trunk for sure just like everyone else said.
4. Putting any object on the car which could potentially damage the paint.

I been using automotive GooGone and water spraying when i get home from office bird bombs literally everyday for the past 2 weeks.

I swear my windshield tends to pick up every little piece of dirt that hits it. I'm constantly at the gas station using the squeegee to clean it! Unless it is dirty, then windshield wipers all the way, but stuff sticks to this windshield like glue.

Fake M Badge on a non M car. Or a 320i with a body kit to make it look like an M3. I saw one of those the owner didn't even bother to debadge the car. The 320i was plastic dipped. The stock mirrors and hood were a dead giveaway as well. Why spend money on that and a quad exhaust, just get a used 335. Fake poser and he had to drive fast and rev the N20 to make it seem like he had a fast S55 equipped car.

Help the owner out & clean it for them!

You could use a clay bar or 0000 steel wool with lube to thoroughly clean the glass, then follow with Rain-X, Aquapel or another glass treatment:

Are you gonna be ok?

I had a coworker put his backpack on my roof when he was getting out...

Nearly killed him.

WTF??? This must be a Raleigh thing. Get caught doing something like that to anybody's car (regardless of model) in Vegas and you'll wake up in a body bag.

In a similar vein, those who sit way close to the wheel with one or both hands permanently at the top so their forearm(s) lying across the center. When the airbag goes it's a toss up whether their dentist or ENT doctor will find their elbow joint.

...and at the other extreme, those who sit so far back with the seat massively reclined that they can only just reach the lower third of the wheel with their fingers. I don't consider that being in control of the vehicle.

Where does this fit within the list for the enthusiasts? "Non M car badged with M"

[Zanity]

I do have to say it does make me shake my head seeing base model with M badge all over, I just saw a 1st gen E84 base X1 (ugly as it is) sitting on the tiniest wheels, with a X1///M badge, the M is 3 times the size of the X1 badge, then M performance stickers on the dash and M sticker on the base steering wheel. This is the definition of ricer in the bimmer world. Cringe city.

Don’t know why anyone would care what other people people do to their own cars.

People are free to form opinions, where do you think the word ricer came from ?

Of course people are free to form opinions. I just don’t know why people would actually care. I have no idea what ricer means.
