Actually, nothing most times. Traffic is usually such where I drive that responding would be foolish at best.........

If it's a 540, 7 series, or any of the M series...I look over to admire them. If it's anything below the previously mentioned...525, 3 series, Z3/4...I usually don't bother to look 'cuz there's so many of them around. But, if it's a 525 or 325, and they're really asking for it...then I give it to them

From a BMW owners perspective:

I have a BMW 330i and enjoy driving it fast (within reason). It's such a fun vehicle, that I can't help it.. I do get IS300 guys all the time wanting to test me at stop lights. They are almost always younger and I think I'm just an old geeser (at 30), since I'm too old to really indulge them in a race on a highway.

Can't we all get along?

I'm going home Saturday with my wife after dinner and I'm on the freeway and who do I see behind me? A BMW, his on my tail then he tries to get in front of me, NOT HAPPENING! I'm getting ready to get of on my exit and who comes next to me as I'm getting off, the same BMW and his revving his engine. I know that we have a young crowd but at least we don’t act like kids.
