You get that they are GIFTED those cars, right?

And how does a Fiat show any cred?

Let's not.

So you imagine that BMWs are somehow "by law" limited in how they handle...

....but Mercedes are somehow not?

Your answer is in your assumption that you're talking with a 'high-skill driver'.

Chris Harris quite likes the ones he's had, and I'd say he's a very
high skill driver:
https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/02/28/chris-harris-bmw-m2-cs-2/
Of course, like many others, he likes a wide range of cars (2CV!),
there's no uniquely pro-BMW preference.

To be fair, the BMW M2 is not really equivalent to a BMW 135i M-Sport.

The M2 is the replacement of what BMW was forced to call the "1M"
previously (because the name "M1" holds a special place in the history
of BMW).

Quite the opposite. I thought he 'disliked' bmw's. I see he has done a
youtube video on his m2. I'll try and find time to watch it this
evening.

Meh. I wasn't referring to the 135 or your choice of car specifically.
It was a bmw-wide perception I had.

Such perception even covered M cars. I'll try and watch Chris's video

Yup, but alan was too fucking stupid to figure that out.

One that I was questioning. People do that when they don't know
everything about everything that there is to know. Sometimes, they even
get an answer, and sometimes they find themselves talking to someone
with their head buried deep in their own arse.

The problem with having your head that far up your own arse, is that all
you truly know about with any conviction, tends to be the specific
aromatic fingerprint of your own shit.

Once again, I'm done with this.

You weren't questioning it.

You claimed...

Most likely based on one thing you heard from one driver.

....that all serious racing drivers don't like BMWs.
