went out for a spin in the brand new honda accord vtec 2.2 or 2.4 not sure 
had heated leather seats electric every thing sat nav  
 
although it was an auto was fecking fast!   and i had the cruise button on   
 
i took it off breifly and it went mental    one of the fastest cars ive driven 
 
bloody big car to try n get round corners   
 
needles to say that was a very nice experience

Thats just one car and one owner. 
 
Theres a 106 GTi driver at the top of my street who is a total knob, always trying to race. 
 
That doesn't make you the same though does it? 
 
BMW are excellent, excellent cars.

Phil sorry I totally disagree 
 
I could recall at least 2 hundered instances when I have seen a BMW be drove like it owns the road 
 
no indicators 
zero care for cars around them 
fog lights apear to be wired with side lights 
 
Great cars yes, if your 35 and wear a suit to work... slow, handle like boats and look ming 
 
I dont mind an older m3 or the coupe 3 series are alright, but I do not dislike a car more than a BMW

I do know what you mean to an extent but they are very good cars, very well put together, perform as they should etc. 
 
I personally would love one, and I'm not 35 but there comes a time when you just grow out of the hot hatch/Jap car image and want something a little different. 
 
Also, with regards the fogs/side light, the same happens with my Mini. Side lights on and the spot lights come on too, but not as fog lights. If you know what I mean

I respect your opinion   I won't ever own a BMW I don't think, id rather go for an Audi personally, I know what you mean about spot lights too
