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

[LEANE30]

- You tell people your e30 has a "personality" and chooses when things work

- Know how to say Red Green White Blue and black in german without ever studying the language

- You wake up at 6am to beat the plows after a nice snow storm

so true...

and the beating the plows -- not just ix, every e30 i've had was a blast in the snow

- people say, "the snow 4times deeper than your car's ground clearance, would you like a ride home in our SUV?" and you reply "no, would you like a ride around the block? and are there any sweeping curves close to here?"

- you mock people who think FWD cars are better in the snow

- you have so many e30 parts in your garage that you want to pick up a stock e30 just to have fun decking it out

- your garage has more car parts in it than anything else

- multiple times your e30 has broken down on you and your only cost was towing to get it back to your garage or the added gas costs to hitch a ride so you can fix it on the side of the road to your garage to pick up a spare part you've been hording

- with the exception of an isolated winding road in your e30, you'd rather spend time in your garage with your e30 (or in your e30) than outside of it with other humans

- you prefer an engine to look like an engine, not a big shiny plastic block under the hood

- when shopping for upgrades "non-power", "delete", and "manual" are key search words

so true about the inside the trunk or hood pictures

- you don't give a flying fuck what people think about you/your e30, even though "showing off" is something you do best, until you learn what getting flamed is

- style

most newer BMW owners:

- fashion

- popularity is a factor in all of your automotive "tuning" decisions

- if it wasn't for the fact that your car calls in and alerts the stealership all on it's own whenever it needs an oil change or some type of service, you would have no clue that your car requires anything

- you like the Bangled cars that look like they're designed by an asian

- you think "class" can be bought

- your grabbing your ankles for the local police department when the e30 owner, who was trying to keep up just to get a better look at your car, was passed without a second glance by the cop who was heeting you

- you don't give a fuck about the release of the 1 series

R3v Enthusiast: Your girl friend has threatened to leave you because of your car.



BMW owner: Your girl friend is dating you because of your car.

e30 enthusiast:

- you secretly dream that this problem can be solved by buying yourself another e30 but claiming it is for her when in reality you are just wanting to tune another e30 in a different way/style

Oh btw this is me all the way

You have a bottle of every fluid in your trunk because secretly you know you're car is fucked at any moment.

Back on topic

You sit here and read every word of the thread, as your car sits in pieces in the garage...

You can't just tack random Zs onto any word and turn it into leet speak.

Bullshitz!

[Farbin Kaiber]

I know you're older than the average bunch on here, so I'll help you out.

Then you go and type leet. Takes one to know one.

+1- no one wants to revisit it. It's jawdropping though- if you must, read page 9 or 10 I think for the synopsis

[StereoInstaller1]

Woah, cliffs on that thread?

No. Read or BANZ!

[GarrettM]

Woah, cliffs on that thread?

SO DAMN GROSS,

back on topic shall we?

When complimenting another BMW, you get strange looks cause your referring to it as an eXX.

and the truest of them all is:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If its broke, don't fix it until the car won't run

hahahahaahahahahaha!

R3V - you spend most of your day looking for cheap "mods" or fixes for your non running E30, eagerly anticipationg the next time you get to drive it!

[Farbin Kaiber]

twas interesting...

I probably saw the meaty disaster on the first few pages and bailed for life. I pretty much only visit r3v at work.
