Probably everyone is giving them a wide berth as they apparently aren’t equipped with turn signals.

They definitely all have them installed.
If you don't have functional turning signals you can signal with arm gestures out the window instead and in that circumstance should not get a ticket -- or even be stopped -- for nonfunctional electronic signals, at least anywhere in the USA.
BMWs show up about 30% of the time in my notepad (in absolute numbers, not adjusted for how many BMWs are on the road here in the UK (5%)).
I would be shocked if BMWs (and Vauxhalls/Opel) aren't massively overrepresented in accident statistics here in the UK.
Also, not REALLY it's just a thing people say, but when you get cut off by a BMW that doesn't use it's turn signal it is not a surprise.
When I returned to my car, there was a note on my windshield to practice parking, which seemed like a diplomatic carefully chosen word
They hadn't seen why I had to park that way, but I feel like people expect a prick uncollaborative driver of BMWs, as opposed to the benefit of the doubt given to other cars (or simply not seeing a pattern with other models)
I’ve driven many cars and have gotten the most assumptions or odd treatment while using BMWs.
Its like right below driving a flashy sports car and having ppl follow you or want to race.
