Another view of dangerous driving in a Toyota:
My boss has a Prius. He lives really far from work, so there's some point to it. He also has never owned a quick car. I have ridden with him several times and he drives that thing pedal to the floor nearly constantly. His gas mileage is still better than mine but he's almost always above the 8/10th's mark of his car's capabilities but gets less performance out of it than I do driving my 328 casually. I do not consider what he does safe at all and he doesn't even notice how squirrely his car is when he's driving that way or the really scary sounds his tires are making.
The non-enthusiast driver in a 328i or similar car will be much further from the edge of the car's capabilities than they would be in a Corolla or a Prius. The BMW would give them room to make a slight mistake or two without exceeding the handling and performance capabilities of their car.
