It's nothing to do with wanting to "own the road".  It is probably not

 Better how? I'm not hating on BMWs in particular but 'better' is a
nebulous concept as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's cynicism from the
days when Cadillacs were better than Buicks that were better than
Oldsmobiles that were better than Pontiacs that were better than
Chevrolets even thought it was the same damn platform. Of course if your
Buick only had three faux portholes the neighbors knew you were either
cheap or living above your means.
 

BMWs are, like Jaguars, designed to be fast and go round corners as well.
Mercedes are fast, but don't go round corners. Which is why they do well in the USA. There are no real corners.
Audis are designed to go round corners blisteringly fast, but their drivers are not...
