To stop using the BMW lane on the motorway? Its so anoying when people are in the way in their "lesser" cars. Fed up in having to have my progression slowed down by these people

tbh mate i dont see many other users driving up the hard shoulder. unless theyve broken down and then they normally indicate to go into to it unlike bmw's.because they were obviously a cost extra option no-one had them fitted!

The only thing that will slow a 330d down is a milk float

Never mind Ian, maybe you can use that lane as an associate memeber if i give you permission, but you will have to build up the speed in the slower lanes first

1st you sold your cossie,

Then you bought a Diesel BMW (not actually that bad)

Then you moan about Manual cars and how you want auto

Now you are blubbing about people in your lane on the motorway.

Did we all miss your 60th birthday or something

Fuck off

Rich tbh mate its a nightmare, people dont relise that you have got other things to be do rather than waiting around for people to move out the way etc. I hate slowing down, speeding up etc etc. i want to set cruise and waft along without doing fook all

Plus i still think that there is no need for a manual car on todays roads imo. Whats the point?

nothing wrong with being lasy

The point is cos people want drivers cars and i thought BMWs slogun was "The Ultimate Driving Machine" they cant really be if they are "old man autos". IMO

It's not the bmw lane. It's the ford transit lane! Many a time i've nearly rammed a bmw (and other makes) as they were traveling too slow. My van isn't happy below triple figures.

out of my way or the bmw may become a compact,

what your zimmer can reach 115mph? blimey lucky ltd edition model.and your car would have to sit there for longer,obviously the old man(mpg)guage would denote you do more miles so had to go sensible.

I love bmw's in the "right hand" lane, as i like them getting in my way, then going past them like they were standing still

then they tend to get the humph and drive like knobs like most of em are



I just slow down then and watch them nearly write their car off

Some of the BMW's are good cars but what really puts me off them is that the majority of people want them because they think that if they get one then they're somebody. Its a car for the wannabe brigade for the most part.
