I work in the car industry so i know for a fact that immigrants, espcially turkish, marrocan, etc. are big BMW/mercedes/audi enthousiasts. Great cars, obviously, but it seems strange that these people, often dangling in the slopes of society have such an urge to drive these expensive brands. It goes as far as entire families pitching in money (son, daughter, mom, dad, grandparents) to buy a 10 year old 3 series or a A4.
Im curious where this comes from. Is a car like a status symbol for them? What is it?
Most people living in big cities will probably know the trusted sight of a 20 ish year old immigrant having his BMW/audi/mercedes in park free in the middle of the city for everyone to see... seriously what up? Anyone can shed some light onto this?
