Happy Days for one F11 owner

SomeRandomer123 · 01-01-2012, 07:00 PM

Not me sadly. On the motorway the other day, a gorgeous F11 535i M Sport in black gracefully wafted off the slip road and into the middle lane, with us on the outside lane in the d. I couldn\'t take my eyes off it! As we overtook it, I looked at the driver and he had a subtle smile on his face. I just thought, \"yeah.\" You\'ve earned that fantastic car and you should be smiling! Its not often you see such a happy sight on the UK roads, especially the motorway as its usually full of stressed, overweight munters in Punto\'s and Micra\'s trying to rule the road when you should be following the basic law, \"KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING.\" I mean for f**k sake, its getting worse here. There should be motorway training. The 330d\'s highbeams have never been used so much on a daylight journey!! Pfft. Nice 5 Series though... And he could drive!!

Try spending a day here in Belgium! If compared, UK is the drivers' heaven!
Cheers

Haha you guys REALLY need to visit a third-world country. I drove from London to Keswick this summer and totally loved driving on the motorway (in a rented Vauxhall Astra). Unfortunately it was only a 2-week vacation and I had to eventually return to my own country's logic-defying traffic. Consider yourself blessed!

You're right. It's been standard in all five of the Fivers I've had.
