That is some kind of twisted logic! Alan does own a BMW. His family sold 
it to him at what he admitted was a sweetheart deal price. It's 13 years 
old now and a 1 series. Before that he had a clapped out red Miata. It 
used to be in his Facebook image.

Anyway, pooling people based on their mobile phone brand is totally 
ludicrous.
