https://youtu.be/CqeONuEGptY We don’t know what it is about the BMW brand, maybe it’s the rear wheel drive or maybe its the range of powerful engines, but this brand always seems to attract the detritus of the car owning world. It was worse years ago, owning a BMW was seen as a status symbol a symbol of success. The problem for these success driven BMW owners was that other road users quickly began to see them as a premium luxury equivalent of the white van man. In the UK the ‘white van man’ is a term used to describe a van owing individual who constantly tailgates other road users whether in urban or motorway situations. The white van man has similar traits to a BMW owner, both are always in a never ending hurry and both must have an immediate right of way. When used BMWs loose their value as they age they tend to filter their way down to the detritus of car owners, the status ‘success’ symbol has now been transformed. However the transformation into ‘the thug life’ status symbol has simply been resurrected from its earlier car owning phase.
