Growing up my Dad always said the same thing about BMW drivers, but then again he never owned a BMW. I think people forget that different cars have different abilities. Would you drive a minivan the same as an M3, I don't think so.
To them, I'm driving too fast, to me they're driving too slow... It's all about perception I guess.

Well, just because a car is "capable" of certain things or has specific driving characteristics does not mean that THE DRIVER is capable of driving the car to the car's potential. It's thinking like that that causes accidents, poor judgement, etc. How many Enzos, CGTs, Lambos, etc have we seen split in half... but these cars can go faster, maneuver better, etc
And would I drive a minivan like an M3??? Yes, I would drive a minivan like I drive my M3, just like I used to drive an X5 4.4 like my M3, and like I've driven a Hyundai Santa Fe like my M3... and no, that doesn't translate to an arrogant BMW driver having poor judgement.
