Regarding BMW, I know someone who purchased a BMW just to go to auto club meets and meet new people.

I have to admit, that is a new one. Did he purchase an M5 or other super expensive/powerful BMW to go to auto club meets? Or other model? In some areas of the USA, a 3/5/7 series BMW is a run of the mill luxury car.

5 and 7 series are legit. 3 series are for people who get their first six figure job, and college kids of well-off parents.

In San Francisco, every 10th car is a 3 series. I wish I was joking.

Despite the fact that many 3 series drivers never take their vehicles beyond the capabilities of a Buick, it is definitely one of the all-around best automobiles on the market today.

It is a 330ci ... this is Canada after all, most people aren't educated in regards to automobiles.

Like he said, most people think it's a much more expensive car than it is.
