Why do BMW owners always talk about their cars being "driver's cars"? What exactly does this mean?
As per a previous post, I've currently got an E90 320D SE to evaluate and I don't like it that much. It's not that it's bad, in fact it's quite good, it's just not "special" in the way that so many BMW fans and auto enthusiasts seem to suggest (whatcar.com give the BMW 5 stars then downgrade the Audi's for their cost - explain please!).
So, when a BMW driver talks about "a driver's car" I can only assume that they mean:
1. it needs to be driven aggressively all the time (at the expense of everyone else on the road/pavement and the law of the land)
or
2. if you don't have a BMW then you don't know how to drive (hey, I know my indicator means "I'd like to turn please" rather than "move, I'm important")
I notice that Audi/VW driver's tend to revere the Quattro variants and (dare I say) Porsche's but they don't attach twee little labels. Oh, and to date I've never owned a BMW or an Audi so no prejudice.
(Peugeot 405 > Rover 620i > Renault Megane Coupe > Toyota Celica VVTi > Volvo S60 ... the Celica and S60 have been fantastic, the rest were c r a p)
