The last time I was on a business trip to Germany I had ordered a small econobox, but when I got to the airport I was "upgraded" (of course they didn't have the car I'd actually reserved) to some huge M-series, "luxury" SUV the size of Belgium.
I really don't get BMW. You're in Germany. You are going to drive on the Autobahn. It is likely you will spend most of your time going somewhere between 130km/h and 200+ on the Autobahn. Occasionally there is work done on the Autobahn. Then why the hell does BMW make driver's aids that needlessly create dangerous situations when it encounters double road markings? It's not like they are uncommon in Germany.
I wasn't aware that the driver's aids were even on. And suddenly the shitbox decides we had better follow the markings that lead into the guardrail so I have to yank the suicidal, teutonic, plastic battle tank off its intercept course and point it back on the open road ahead.
- watwut 3y ago> t is likely you will spend most of your time going somewhere between 130km/h and 200+ on the Autobahn. Overwhelming majority of cars on Autobahn is driving 130 and lower on unlimited sections. The speed limit on other sections is 120 or lower - they have signs everywhere. The 200km/h use case is not what drivers in Germany do majority of the time.
- MagnumOpus 3y agoThere's the majority of drivers, and then there's the people with BMW M-series :-) (yes, yes you are right, half the autobahn has speed limits.)
- bborud 3y agoNot sure if this is about the car or the driver, but I will have you know that I both know how to operate the blinker and do so :-)
- bborud 3y agoI should have said "I".
