Ok,
Its official, I am taking the 535 badge off of my car and replacing it with a 520 badge, or just debadge it completely.
This does kinda belong in the TGLP section, but I put it in general, just for people to consider.
I am going to admit, I drive fast, really fast, really regularly, because I have a BMW that can handle it, and I like a bit of fun as much as the next guy.
My BMW has superior brakes, superior handling, and I know exactly what its limits are.
I have driven a multitude of BMW V8's and really strong diesels.
But
Why is it that the second I get an x35 badge at the back of my car, that everyone now suddenly think that I "want to dice, and we are going to go drive like phyco's" on the highway.
I never had it on the 730d, I never had it on the 750 which has more power then half of you folks on this forum would have a clue what to do with, let alone the twit in his 1.9 polo tdi.
I never got challenged, not like this. I have done some scary shit in my 530d, but its always been controlled..
Since I have the 535i, every twirp in his frikken Polo or Ford ST likes to think its open season, comes storming up my ass, I speed up, it keeps coming,
I move over, it moves next to me and sits at whatever speed I am doing... WTF
You do NOT challange somebody on an open highway and then go do break neck speeds of 230km through traffic, it is dumb, your going to kill somebody....
To the moron in the white X6 //M, yes, your car is gorgeous, its lovely, its quick, motor is amazing, I know... but dammit dude think.
The thing weights two tonnes, it has a high center of gravity, it has significant body roll.
You DO NOT cut across 4 lanes of the N12 highway and squeeze through 3 cars just to prove that you are faster.
You folk should have seen this, the dude went half over the solid white line cause his ass got away from him, and he missed the center concrete barrier, by prob about 10 cm, then he over corrected, and nearly sent the front of the car onto the barrier.
All of this in front of me, if he had clipped that barrier, he would have rolled the car, and I would have hit him dead on
Speeding is wrong, and cois can lecture, bla bla go to jail loose your license all of those good things.
What I am saying is, PLEASE remember this if you are going to speed.
YOU DO NOT DRIVE LIKE A FLIPPEN PHYCO if you cannot see at least 2km's in front of you, have complete cognasance of all traffic in front of you, and know exactly what to expect
You do NOT pick up a "dice" in 8pm traffic on a public highway when there are other cars around.
Its your choice to drive like a chop, it is not the choice of the family in front of you that you roll your car and take out 4 or 8 people.
And for the 4x4's, any 4x4, for pete sake, its not a sports car, dont drive it as such.....
