How can you tell between a R3V enthusiast and a BMW owner?

[GarrettM]

If you know way too much about some ugly firefighter chick's personal life in NH.

HAHAH!

-You do a double take when you see another E30
-Zip ties are factory replacement to hold on iS lips
-You use the word "Rev" in real interactions with people when talking about breaking things.

DD does not refer to boobs?

[TopOfTheLine89]

You think E36's are teh gay.

[e30 gangsta]

You think E36's are teh gay.

Everything except the motors.

People cant comprehend why you go through tires in less than 10k miles.


Your entire day is ruined when it rains.


You laugh at people who buy cars based solely on how safe they are, when you just removed the airbag from yours.

[Maluco]

- almost all your questions fall under the "General Discussions" or "Off Topic" section of the board

- you have gone through a period of searching for a "good priced" used is lip. And then come to grips that they, for the most part, just need to be bought new, if you want to own one in this lifetime.

- you feel diving boards are simply not acceptable

- all wheels, in someway or another, do not look good on your e30

- airbag? get that shi* out of my car... (ah, you beat me too it!!!!)

A R3V members' idea of tuning...



A typical BMW owners' idea of tuning...

you can tell a newer bmw owner more about their car than they can

(the double take when other e30 one and the safe car one are my favorites)

-You've taken more photos of your car, than you have of family and friends.
-You refer to a car with standard suspension, as a 4x4
-You claim eBay to be a source for cheap, shit, ricey parts, yet at least once a week, you will scroll through 100 pages looking for a rare German part.
-You can recognize an e30 M3, from a regular e30 at a split second glance. (even if the bronzit 318i does have M3 plastered on the trunk lid)

(I saw an e30 " ///M i " for the first time the other day)

*edit*
- good thread.

[roundel]

you know all the guys that work at the junkyard on a first name basis.....even the guy with three teeth

[cferb]

You think the prices at autozone are too high

god dammit they are, $250 for spark plug wires, are you kidding me?!?!

[Jparkr]

- You always have check panel lights on in your car, or you removed the LED's for the ones that stay on.

- you laugh when people ask if the input bearing noise is rod-knock (holmes, lol)

- you lowball all for sale threads

- you've had parts, waiting in your garage for a year or more.

- (for me) Your car is in pieces more times a year then you drive it.

Oncoming traffic, 1/8 mile away ;)

[Spiff325iS]

Lmao some of these seriously make me laugh and then cry on how much I love them all...Seriously classic( I would love to quote all previous posts ).

- You think an E30 is superior to any BMW chassis post- E30/E28 because they don't come with factory LSD's unless it's an M.
- You are totally acceptable for buying a car with more than 120,000 miles on it.
- You laugh at people with 10k$+ in upgrades on their car on bf.C when the pictures of their cars burning out still only leaves one tire mark on the ground.

BTW I definitely LOL'd at:
- you feel diving boards are simply not acceptable

So True:
- you lowball all for sale threads

Cannot Agree more! But lets make it 3k$!:
