I'll explain:

Arlen tried to make a meal out of the fact that I own a BMW (2012 135i M 
Sport Edition in Lemans Blue to be precise) and didn't know 
that--according to him--one of those terms is use to refer to BMW 
motorcycles and the other for BMW cars.

And from that he tried to claim that:

1. I couldn't possibly own one.

2. That I could possibly be a racing driver and road racing instructor.
