It's because they're entitled dickbag drivers. Which is funny because where BMWs are more common, Audi drivers are the entitled dickbags.
If I see a black Audi, I can guarantee that it will be a dangerously bad driver.
As a Munich resident (home of BMW), I kindly disagree. It really is BMW.

2013 was plenty dire. We had Ted Cruz's friends in the House trying to dismember social security and medicare while Obama kept explaining away why we needed more troops in Afghanistan and fewer labor organizers in Ohio.
The '08 Housing Crisis was still echoing through the US, the economy was stalling in the face of Congressional austerity, and people ringing the big "Climate Change is coming for us" dinner bell were once again getting told to shut up so we wouldn't scare away moderate republican voters in the 2014 midterms. Israel and Gaza had broken out into a brief shooting war, the recently-debunked Lancet "Vaccination-Autism" study was gaining traction among reactionary politicians, Jeffry Epstein was hanging out with Bill Gates on Palm Beach, and a fresh-faced NYC landlord with political aspirations was all over FOX News saying how he was on the verge of uncovering Obama's real birth certificate.
The fuse was lit. We were all just in the fucking around phase, rather than the finding out part. Extremely dire situation.

There is a tiny pinhole in the top of the gear stick. If you put a paperclip in it for 5secs the horn honks and the BMW is reset. Afterwards you have to resync your key through the authenticator app and change your blinkers from one to three.
If you hear a continuous honk. Your BMW is actually a transformer and you just sounded it's urethra.
Incredible reply. Simply brilliant.

I asked the local BMW dealer if I had to take a class to unlearn how to use a turn signal.
He did not find it funny, which I found even more hilarious.

This has spread to more than BMW drivers. Just this morning I saw a Lexus, a Chevy, and a semi not bother with them.
Look man, when I'm in my RC F, that V8 ought to be turning your head so you anticipate I'm going to pass you. Otherwise you're clearly not paying enough attention to my sick expensive car. (/s)

What do you mean by "when my BMW is reset"?
if the battery is disconnected, it loses some of the memory settings. like there's two available seat memories that get reset. plus saved radio stations and blinker preferences

when my BMW is reset, the soft turn signal only blinks once. I have to go and set it for 3 blinks. Ever since, I see BMW drivers sometimes only give one blink and if you blink you might miss it lol bad engineering on such great engineering
I did not know about soft turn signals until I saw this post.
I question why this feature exists. Drivers should be aiming to signal 10 seconds ahead. When making a lane change or turn, you should be keeping your signal on until the maneuver is completed. I can't think of a circumstance where 3 blinks is enough. 1 blink looks more like a mistaken signal.

Where I live, bmw drivers suck but Mercedes drivers are way worse.

three is good enough for lane changes on the freeway, sure 10 seconds would be optimal but it's not always realistic
idk about 1 because I think it's absurd too

My partner rarely uses her blinkers, and she wonders why people honk at her. Not BMW driver, but pretty much any car lol

I've seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a few times, and I'm curious as to how it developed... The Altima always struck me as a pretty typical mid-size sedan, so I'm not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.
Since I've learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven't been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas is higher than the norm.
They have a lot of space for the price and last a long time after being bought used, so they are quite popular among the crowd that insists on driving with one arm and the seat reclined all the way flat because sitting up straight is gay or something.

I use the three blinks when exiting a roundabout.

The 3 blinks is mostly just for roundabout exits though, at least for me. 3 seconds of blinking could mean 2 different exits. Again, confus.

The peasants don’t need to know where I am going.

They only come with a left turn signal by default. It's to indicate you're too slow driving with 200 km/h on the left lane and they want to overtake.

I don't understand how that's possible. Like, driving school has ingrained the turn signal reflex into my arm so well that I sometimes even feel weird not using a turn signal when making a hard turn on a road without crossings. And changing lanes without a turn signal literally can't be done, my brain feels. Don't driving schools in the US do that?

So you’re telling me they’re not an optional extra?

I can only imagine the other dumb shit that happens in your life because of her
