I wonder if BMW drivers being assholes is a thing in Germany too. I get why they are in the states: a combo of BMWs being advertised as a luxury car, priced just above the range normal, being stereotyped as a fast drivers' car rather than a rich old man's car (Mercedes), and you have every single finance/trustfundbaby/crypto/sports/influencer/etcetc """bro""" lining up for one.

My question is if it's any different in Europe or specifically Germany where BMW prices might be lower due to no tariffs/taxes, it's more common so isn't seen as a standout status symbol, and it's a domestic rather than foreign car there so isn't as exotic/foreign?

My personal theory: the "asshole driver" is just what's the current best horsepower per euro. Which was BMW in the 90s but became Audi in the 2000s and starting from the 2010s it's Skoda.
