And besides that, a BMW is a rear wheel driven car. Those behave (really) different when you encounter a traffic situation where drastic action is required. Front wheel driven cars are behaving more "friendly" in those situations.
Having said this, I like the driving experience that is BMW (yep, I'll admit it....BMW fanboy here).
In Neal Stephenson's book
Snow Crash, there are numerous traffic scenes where BMW drivers "immediately took evasive action."
Later on, he remarks that BMW drivers
always seem to feel the need to be taking "evasive actions" - and wonders if this is how they justify, to themselves, the high price they paid for their cars.
From my experiences on the highways around where I live (and where skittish lane-changing BMWs abound) I truly believe Stephenson was on to something.
