You forgot your pills again .........
Just don't do it while you're driving one!
I don't think that I would go quite that far, but when I first had a BMW I noticed immediately the extra looks that it attracted from both other motorists and pedestrians alike. After years of driving Fords I now get people regularly commenting admiringly about my car when I arrive to meet them - very strange.
Probably drives a FORD and wishes it was a BMW
I suspect those individuals behind the wheel of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Astons, Porsches, etc pay monstrously large fees to their psychologists as they attempt to deal with their inferiority complexes.

The E46 is just the perfect car for me. I don't like any of the new cars as much. They're all getting too big. What are the options for a sub-3500-pound RWD sedan? The E90 is close, but still larger than what I'd prefer...
More likely they pay it to their mechanic, instead of their psychologists.

Why do other drivers feel inferior to a BMW driver?
We don't.
It's BMW drivers who think they are superior.
Other drivers, however, know different.

Nah, BMW drivers, like Millwall fans, dont care. Other drivers warble on constantly about BMW drivers.
Best car behind I normally find. They don't make me feel inferior, they make me feel smug. I've yet to hear a decent road going BMW go Ptsssch as I pass them.
Most of the BMW drivers we used to talk about can't afford them now, and drive Passats and Golfs.
If you think BMW's maintenance costs are high, you've been denied exposure to some REAL costs of ownership. You can buy a nice, low miles, previously owned Ferrari ten years old and spend ten thousand or more just attending to those things to make it right. OTOH, it costs little more to fully restore a 63 GTO (market value around $10M) than it does to attend to a similar vintage 250 GTE (high five figures at best), if the level of restoration is similar.

Maybe we BMW drivers secretly envy the drivers of, for example, FWD crap. All that money that could be saved, if only we were so dull-witted and uncaring... 8)
Mine was a succession of lease cars till a year or so ago, I took it to BMW once and although I cancelled 3/4 of the things they wanted to do, mostly utterly ridiculous things like replacing all the door seals, it still came to £1200, I should have really said, stop, I'll take the car away. I take it to Hyundai main dealer now. Its put me off buying another, I fancy the Alfa GT.
Yeah, I always really wanted a lumbering fake offroader, mind you BMW make one!
Mike... (Mike... ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Three. One's just a bit less lumbering than the second, whilst the third wants to be a coupe on stilts.
Oh, and they're all lobbed together by redneck 'merkins.
Wait a minute -- you're concerned about BMW maintenance costs, so now you're considering an Alfa?
That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my entire life! 8;)

BMW, sadly, is now making FWD crap as well, too. I'd buy a Mini in an instant if it had proper RWD and if I could get the sport option without having to give up the spare tire. The Mini is actually a fun car and close to the traditional BMW feel. But the FWD and the thought of having to drop that transaxle someday keeps me away.
