Now that we have been driving our BMWs for over a year, my wife and I have observed an interesting phenomenon and I was wondering if others here have also experienced it.

We have observed that fellow BMW drivers seem to be extra courteous to us when we are in our BMWs. We have also observed a bit of German marque courtesy from Audi and Mercedes drivers, but not so much from Volkswagen drivers.

On the other hand, drivers in American and Japanese vehicles seem to go out of their way to be rude.

Do you get or give BMW courtesy?

Do non-German car drivers act rudely to your BMW?
