In his work of short stories, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Rhoald Dahl tells a great story about a BMW.

The story is called “The Hitch-hiker”
Here is a summary taken from Wikipedia, but I have read the story and it is brilliant.

“This is another fictional first person narrative. The narrator in this case has a brand new BMW, and is enjoying a trip down the highway when he spots a hitchhiker. He lets the man into his car; the passenger is described as being curiously rat-like, with long, white fingers. They engage in conversation, revealing the man’s Cockney accent and attitudes. As they talk, the narrator is pulled over for speeding. The police officer who writes the ticket acts particularly cruel, threatening the narrator with a long prison sentence and a huge fine; he even spits on the car. When he questions the hitchhiker, the ratty man explains that he is an unemployed “hod carrier”, or construction worker.

As the officer walks away, the narrator guesses that his passenger is not really a construction worker. The hitchhiker agrees, and challenges the narrator to guess his true profession. As he does, the hitchhiker suddenly reveals various items from the narrator’s person, from a wallet to a watch to his wife’s brooch! The narrator accuses the hitchhiker of being a pickpocket. The hitchhiker disagrees, claiming that he is a “fingersmith”-just as a goldsmith has mastered gold, he has mastered the use of his fingers. The narrator is sceptical…until his new friend reveals that he stole the police officer’s notebooks, which contain the tickets against them! The hitchhiker recommends that the narrator burn the books; the narrator exclaims that the hitchhiker is a “fantastic fellow”, and his passenger smiles, saying that it’s “always nice to be appreciated.”
