BMW drivers are probably more assertive than other drivers as they are drivers' cars. Probably 99.9% of them speed (as opposed to 98% of the general population).
The most aggressive drivers tend to be SUV's and heavily modified cars.
OTOH you rarely see BMW drivers as outside lane hogs, MLOC, hesitating at junctions, waiting on green lights, trying to overtake when they can't make it or driving into parking places.
