Why is it always M3 drivers...
Discussion
Guys, seriously, I think M3's are fantastic... but why do 9/10 of you have to drive like such tools?? I had it in my 993 C2, 993 Turbo, F355... always **have** to get past you.
To Mr EN54 CPZ M3 Cab - if you are on here - I was they guy driving the white 3.2 Carrera turning right from the Kings Road onto the Embankment. I really don't appreciate you being stuck to my rear bumper, which is why I pulled over for you, so that you could show me what a fast car you have by flooring the accelerator and disappearing off at a stupid speed.
Not sure if that was supposed to impress me, but hey ho. If you are on here, take a look at the cars in my profile. As I said, nice car, and indeed fast, but please have a bit of respect for other road users.

It isn't...it's always someone else in any type of car...and an M3 was just the last one that did it to you!
I drive a Z4M Coupe...and I get all manner of Honda's, Vectras and Mondeos having a go. I just ignore them...or even more fun in the right circumstances...slow down very gradually and then leave them for dust!

Oh dear. Yes there are tools in M3s. I also come across plenty of tools in 911s. The number of idiots in Porsches who want to have a go with an M5 is remarkable.
You are not a tool, I imagine. I am not either (despite having owned three M3s).
Happy now?

Our OP is a tool for posting such generalisations if you ask me.
Feel free to look at my car history (and its not all of them!), it tends to imply I might have gone through all sorts of changes each time I changed my cars to fit with the various generalisations I have seen on this and other such sites over time. 9/10 M3 drivers, jesus, you must do a lot of miles in your old Beetle to see all those M3 drivers.
And before you go off on one, I have a newer Beetle..........and a very unfragile ego. Idiots cover all brands and demographics!

To echo the sentiments of those above, the car do not maketh the tool.
It is a fact of life that anyone driving a moderately fast or interesting car will be provoked by those who feel threatened by the presence of such a car and thus react accordingly.
To the OP: you no-doubt did the right thing by pulling over, but shirely you must have realised in all the time you've been driving, that twunkism is not marque-specific?
I won't mention the idiot in the Boxster who decided that to make up one car length on the A2 this morning, swerved from outside to inside lane, undertook one car swerved straight back out, then saw the rapidly approaching speed camera so threw out the anchors causing the car he had just undertaken to lock up and nearly rear end him.
Great work...............................

Because of the continuing bad press given to BMW drivers generally, I go out of my way to be a polite and generous driver.
Sometimes I'd like to roar off like a bat out of hell, but just don't.
It's not cool. (Unless it is for your own pleasure, in a controlled environment).
If you do it because you think others will be impressed, I've come up with a test:
Stand in a busy, suburban pub garden that's close to a road.
Get a friend to roar past, accelerating flat-out, in your M3/911/r32/Escort Mexico (all nicely polished etc, but no stereo blaring). Then listen to what the folk in the garden have to say.
I've never tried it, but I'll bet they don't say "Golly, what an amazingly fast car, that guy must be very cool, devilishly handsome and dangerously fertile!"
In younger days, I might have spent a bit of time driving up and down the Great West Road looking for a race. But then, there were others looking for a race too! It was different then....
