Tickets your E30 has gotten you into

Today I finally was able to drive my E30 after a 2 month hiatus due to shitty compression and other things. Swapped out the head and bled the coolant today finally. Drove AROUND my block, as in, probably less than 70 yards total, and I got pulled over for having an expired rejected inspection sticker. I explained to the officer I'm merely driving my car for the first time in a while (showing him my dirty ass hands and my interior full of tools) but no mercy. I also got a ticket for blinker not working..it stopped working after I gave my car a wash and I didn't even know. Garrghhhhhhhh.

That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that on the ticket it says 88 BMW 4 door Silver. I own a 2 door bronzit. :(

I got a parking ticket, and the description I got for my car was a 4 door Honda, I parked right next to a 2dr Black E30 Vert.

[b*saint]

OP which state?

I never got any tickets in any bmw except for expired inspection sticker(s). I've had a ticket for all 3 I've owned.

You could probably get out of this ticket if you play your cards right in court if the above fact is true

Perhaps the 20 yard long trail of molten rubber at the beginning of your 70 yards alerted said officer to your presence ?

Got a failure to yield ticket in the parking lot of my work. Felt pretty stupid rolling by my co-workers with a squad car behind me.

lol Try and get out of this ticket. Clearly he got the wrong car?

The only thing that's ever happened to mine is... it got towed away during a snow emergency, even though it was completely covered in snow and the snow emergency had started about 10 mins prior to the towing itself

I actually told the officer I'm only driving it to get it ready for inspection tomorrow, which is true, I'm getting it inspected tomorrow. I'm going to show up with the inspection papers dated tomorrow and hopefully get out of it.

Oh hehehe I wish.

Possibly..but he still has the right license plate number :/

I've gotten 3. one for driving 35 over speed limit and erratically, one for failure to blinker (which was bull shit because obviously you can not see the left blinker when your parker to the right at an angle), and a loud stereo violation, which was indeed coming sooner or later.

I was whipping down a two lane highway trying to catch up to some friends. Picture me in the left lane doing about 80mph towards someone else in my lane doing 50mph, got about 2 feet from their bumper and swung to the right lane to just clear the car to my right and make a swift pass.. I made it quickly back to the left lane in front of the 2005(ish) Chevy Impala (with suspiciously dark tint) and I saw tiny little flashing blue lights coming from the front grill of the Impala. I pulled over into a gas station parking lot (with people pumping gas mind you)nice and easy and got my Licence/Reg. ready.. Officer came to the window and didn't even let me say one word.
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DRIVING LIKE THAT? I COULD HAVE ANOTHER STATE TROOPER HERE IN A SECOND TO GIVE YOU A HEFTY FUCKING FINE. STOP DRIVING LIKE A FUCKING ASSHOLE, AND GO HOME.. NOW!"
I replied "Yes Sir" and continued my friday night.

After the Undercover got back into his car and sped away, a stranger pumping gas yelled over to me and said "What an asshole that guy was huh?"
I Lol'ed and replied "Nehh, nice guy!"



Man was it nice to have a lowered e30 for the first weekend EVAR. :up:

A couple parking tickets, and 'loud muffler' ticket from an officer who was 'ticket happy' on The Fourth of July this past summer. I live at the shore in NJ, the fourth is one of the biggest revenue makers of the year for the adjacent townships along the beach.

I've had more stories of escaping tickets than receiving, I've been quite fortunate.

I had a similar issue except I was speeding. Went to court and told the judge I do not own or drive a 4 door vehical and the car I was driving is out side. Due to the fact that I could not have possably been driving a 4 door 318is with tag number BLAH gave grounds to drop the ticket.

It indirectly got me arrested for assault with a deadly weapon once...

Charges didn't stick.
