Jerk in his 325i

Some jerk in his 2010 328i passed me on the right today in a lane that was not designated for passing, so a very unsafe move on his part to say the least. The right lane is for turning into office buildings, not for passing

Had I not been on the phone with my father at the time, and actually paying attention, I would have seen him in the rear view mirror coming up on me like a bat out of hell. He floored the throttle and was traveling as fast as his 255HP would allow. At that point, had I actually been paying attention, I would have shifted into Sport + and ......well..... I think we all know the rest.

Then when we got to the next light it was red, and I was directly behind him where if he moved off the light quick, I would have had the opportunity to use the right lane to overtake him if I wanted. But he pulls away real slow, and I'm boxed in by the car directly to my right. He would not speed up to give me any chance to pass....as if to say he already proved his point back at the previous light. Riiiiiight.

Kind of like a coward that sucker punches someone bigger than him, then runs away as fast as he can.

I think you are reading way way too much into the whole thing.

It seems you have a different interpretation of the situation where another BMW owner with a smaller engine floored his throttle in a no passing zone, to the point where he had to cut me off driving like a bat out of hell, because his lane ended and he needed to get over.

Was there another explanation for this behavior I seemed to have overlooked alltogether?

Because if there is another interpretation, I'm all ears. I'm open to other interpretations. What was yours?

The guy is an idiot, which is completely independent of what car he was driving. For all you know, he didn't even notice your particular car, he just wanted to pass you. Let it go, you'll live longer.
