BMW lane

Recommended Posts

A lad at work has recently bought a new 1 series Beemer, so obviously i had to do a bit of slating, telling him where the indicator is, hope he isnt a typical BMW driver etc etc and he told me about the test drive.

 

He was driving, salesman in the passenger seat and they set off. As they pull onto a duel carriageway the salesman turns round and says in a very stuck up manor, and this is no word of a lie, "you can now move into the BMW lane". WTF i thought this was just something we took the pi$$ out of them about, but no, they actually think that way and belive the fast lane is just for them.

 

There was probably an element of toungue in cheek in the comment but still made me laugh.

In the words of a BMW salesman I once met "you don't see a person walking into the showroom, you see a large pound sign."

 

They'll say anything that'll make you feel better about spending obscene amounts of cash on a car. The guy probably had your mate down as a brand junky.

My friend took a BMW out a few weeks back for a test drive, it's the new 3 series one, very nippy but is about £28.000, cant remember the exact model (probably cos i dont give a shit) anyway the salesman took him on the motorway and told him to "floor it" so he did and he was in the fast lane on the motorway behind other cars and the salesman said "just get on their arse, as soon as they look in their mirror and see the badge and the grill they will move over!!!!". My friend said he had to bite his tongue to that comment!

lol what a joke.

 

you should have piped up and pointed out the BMW lane is the hard shoulder

 

and as for getting right behind them, when the other drivers look in their mirror they will be thinking 'oh not another BMW driving tw@t who thinks he owns the road' not 'I'd better get out of the way out of respect' lol
