No, it's in Hampshire but not far from Bracknell. Just across the road from the head offices of the employer of our mutual acquaintance. You guessed right about the reason that all the cars are BMWs though.

I can perfectly well afford a BMW. Indeed just about anyone can aford one since they are the favourite council-house car. I simply refuse to have one. The build quality of BMWs is a disgrace, the "leather" looks and feels like Naugahide, the exterior design was by someone whose guide dog had just died and they still use hardboard in the boot. > Jealousy is a terrible thing! Ah well, that's one BMW owner flushed out of the woodwork. I've never been jealous of the owners of Bavarian Mist-Wagens. I pity them.

I've had 3 cars tailgate me on a short hop along the M27 today, all of which were BMW 535d's. Talk about living up to the stereotype!
