I knew exactly one BMW driver in my life, he was a marketing firm executive, looked like a character from Better Call Saul. I was in charge of marketing for a small company that I lied to about my qualifications and ended up a VP of marketing, so this guy comes roaring up one day and parks across two spaces in his BMW convertable, cigar in mouth, aviator shades, cheap suit and loud tie, he just always wanted to "make things happen."

Absolute cartoon character. I have to say I kind of loved every interaction, it was like a recurring character on a sitcom.

Anyway, about all I remember was him complaining how hard it was to get the thing serviced and the wheels alone set him back the cost of another car.

I hated marketing, but I also hated the unemployment that followed when the housing market bubble burst and suddenly nobody had money anymore.
