Because more people started buying them and many of them are assholes or people who couldn't care less about other peoples' BMW's.
People with Jeep Wranglers will still do stuff like that. Same with Corvette owners.
I have gotten nods or waves from other BMW owners though. One person in another EBII M-Sport, one guy in an 1M...and that's it really.
