Sir - Kevin Myers shows that he too is inflicted with the Irish disease: the politics of envy. His sophomoric attempt to equate behaviour patterns with an inanimate object that he cannot afford is self-evident. BMW is a highly successful company with a history of quality automobiles not produced in Ireland. For the workers in Spartenburg, here in the US home of the very successful Z3 roadster, BMW means Business, Money and Wealth. - Yours etc.,
