I'm sure that there are a number of Europeans chuckling at a comment like that coming from an American!

The dimensions are very similar. I remember the day I picked up my E39 540i with a ~280hp V8. I got on the highway and floored the accelerator. It scared the hell out of me. I actually turned to a buddy who was with me and said something like, OMG, this thing may be too powerful for me!!

Haha yes AVH said the American market is right behind the Chinese market in terms of liking to flaunt.
However, that's pretty exclusive to California. Where I'm at nobody likes to show off or wants attention for their wealth.
