BMW owners(E90post.com)
I am growing sick and tired of the morons that post on the site e90post.com. They are absolutely full of themselves. BMW will never break this stereotype of cocky aholes owning their cars if these guys continue to act like this. Go over there and read some of the nonsense. By the 5th post I know that you will know what I am talking about. They even bash each other as fellow owners. This site and that site are night and day different.

The big difference is the way the sites are run and moderated. I'm a BMW owner and know a lot of BMW owners. All the ones I know personally are great people. In fact, to them the BMW is just their car. Most of them are people I know from work. I don't usually hang out with or know too many BMW Club type people.
One thing you will notice about this site and that site or many other sites is moderators don't tolerate certain types of posts. In the short run this does seem like it would do much, but over time members start to learn to post in a more mature manner. Many other sites all ****, swearing, and anything goes. Over hear we have our "Sense of Community" reminder posts to remind people we don't want that type of site or posting here. That IMHO is the big difference.

I post on e90post because my bro has a e92.. i've met a few of the so cal members on e90 and they're great people.. i agree that some BMW owners are cocky and that's how it is, but not all of them are.. 
just gotta ignore the ignorance of some owners on that site.. no need to snoop down to their level..

Even though I no longer own a Lexus, CL is still my homepage. I don't go to the Bimmer forums because IMHO there are quite a few immature members. The only other forum I go to is myMBonline.com, those people there are really cool.

To me, I think Lexus themselves play a big part. When I drive my car, it's so much more stress free than when I drive other cars. Many times in situations I know I'm going to be passed by another car or another car's tailing me, I simply don't care and yield or brake check. It's more polite this way than flying off to not get tailed or passed, which my brother in his E90 does... Yes, he's one of the fast drivers out there that will give BMWs a bad name, but he's not cocky at all though...
All in all, I love CL.
