Motorists who own the flashy German built cars are more likely to tailgate, flick the finger and speed than anyone else on the road, a poll revealed.
More than half of all drivers said they had suffered a 'bad experience' at the hands of a BMW driver.
Much-maligned white van men came second in the poll, followed by Audi drivers and those who own Fords and Land Rovers.
Other motorists to make the top ten included Vauxhall drivers who were seventh. Drivers of Range Rovers, Volkswagen and Mercedes complete the top ten.
The study of 3,000 motorists also showed 17 per cent of people have had a bad experience with another motorist in the past week.
Lee Griffin, chief operating officer at Gocompare.com, said: ''Traditionally the white van man is stereotyped as a bad driver, but this is no longer the case.
''Although the white van man still features highly on the list, he has been well and truly over taken by BMW drivers - who Brits consider rude, dangerous and bad tempered.

“Militant feminists have long attempted to portray all skyscrapers as phallic, but this one ... well, it is.
Very unfortunate...”
Hey, anything that ticks off feminists is not unfortunate at all!
Well, excluding rape, but their obsession with inflating those statistics leads me to believe they really like having rapes happen, so they can tar all heterosexual men by association.
Purty.
Purty purty purty.
(altho it's only a never-manufactured prototype)
The ones that *get* me are the Subaru drivers ...with their Obama and enviroweenie stickers driving below the speed limit in the passing lane.
BMW K1200LT
That is the square car I see all the time. Not exactly aerodynamic. I always wonder what sort of person says “yes that’s the car for me!”.
Great story. I don’t want one of those numbers on my work van. I think I drive more politely than most people, but I do get in a hurry at times.
You sure that’s a BMW?
Looks more like a Cow-A-Saki.
Mine has a Guilford Battleground Company commemorative specialty tag on it. Nothing enviroweenie about it. Subarus are excellent rally cars, very agile and fast, and are primarily known for that outside North America. It's identical to this photo:
Well, it turned out to be quite the monument, just not for the intended association.
Agree. We need to change the way people drive. Join us at LeftLaneCampers.com. Where our goal is to spread the message of being considerate while driving.
