Resentment? Class warfare? I think you’re seeing things that aren’t there. I think BMW drivers have a far higher opinion of BMWs than other people do. I don’t think most people think much about BMWs, let alone resent them or engage in class warfare over them. I think if you drive a Ferarri or a Lamborghini or a Bentley you might get a bit of envy from very few people, but mostly admiration and lust with some joy. BMWs? I think they get a lot of meh if they get anything.[/quote]
Regardless, BMW’s are status symbols.
Even though they appear to be common, the reality is that most people cannot afford to drive a BMW.
Even an older less expensive BMW will generally need more maintenance than an appliance car, and on top of that they cost more to fix.
I just paid $97 to have my oil changed in my BMW.
An oil change for a camry or f-150 can be done for $30 bucks or less.
