It's nothing to do with wanting to "own the road".  It is probably not
"just for status".  Many just want a better vehicle to drive.  BMW's
are, generally, better vehicles to drive.

 
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.

 
Each one of those American cars was better than the other but they were
all shit.

Again, what is better? The president of a company I worked for bought a
Cadillac Cimarron when they tried to build a European style luxury sedan.
It was a piece of crap. The final straw was when his secretary bought a
Pontiac. He parked next to it and realized it was the same car.
