Re: Where do you stand on this?
In JB's defence, BMW's do seem to have attracted some kind of reputation. They are the desired car for many young drivers, but due to their inexperience they sometimes have difficulty controlling such a powerful vehicle.
Considering the high torque generated through the rear wheels, just one unintended squeeze of the accelerator is enough to send the car spinning off the road and out of control. This can be observed especially in winter with frozen road surfaces. I have spent most of my later life earning a living on the road and have lost count of the times I have passed BMW's and Mercs arse up in the ditch with some pimply face driver wondering where it all went wrong.....
In South Yorkshire alone there have been several fatal accidents involving young people and BMW's, only last year the young occupants were all killed outright when one left the road and demolished a house.
In a 40mph zone as well....
