Driving a BMW

A friend, travelling to Germany has been forced to hire a BMW and has the following questions, which I thought the readers of AVBD would be able to answer:

How do you drive a BMW?

  • I know that I have to ignore people trying to get out of a side street, wear sunglasses and cut people up.
  • How many centimetres do I have to leave when tailgating somebody?
  • Are there any self help tapes I can listen to in the car to enable me to be more arrogant and self important?
  • I naturally indicate at turns, are there any tips to overcome this habit built up over years of driving non-BMW cars?
  • Do I just go for the one fingered salute, or are there new offensive hand signals in the BMW lexicon of communicating with other road users?
  • How much Burberry do I have to buy?
  • Are there sensors in the car to lock me out unless I have more than 6 credit cards and 3 gold chains.
  • An old lady is crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing. Should I give one long blast on the horn or a series of short irritated little pips on the horn?
  • Does your sneer stay like that over a weekend, or do your facial features need longer to freeze in that position?
  • In slow moving traffic, how many times must I change lane every 100 yards?
Any help gratefully recieved...

I think that there's a chemical release system in the driver's seat that turns the occupant into a complete fuckwit as soon as the ignition key is turned.
