You know you are an E30 owner when......

[tcvd]

When you realize an e30 is still technologically up to date.

I.e. 13 button obc with the ability to tell you your avg speed, range, mpg, date/time, temp, and how much fucking gas you have in the damn tank. I love that thing.

My e30 tells me more about my car than my 01 lexus did

when you stare longingly at the e30 in your garage, and scowel as you step inside your accord daily :(

I do this with my civic :( fucking fail wheel drive

when you consider parts your car payment

So true, that's how I justify them too haha.

No way someone's drinking coffee in my car. Maybe water if you're dying.

Same way here, I'll allow drinks with a cap though lol.

As you know I'm a gambling man haha, I won $50 the other night on a stupid ass bet. My buddy (2006 GTO prick/owner) and I got food the other night and he sets his drink on my dash knowing I don't have cup holders... I told him "Come on man, get that shit off of there, it's going to spill."

...he was convinced I didn't have enough power to make it tip over or even move, so a 3k clutch drop made me some money lol. $50 and seeing his Sprite dump all over his lap was well worth it.

Go to a parts website, put everything you want in the cart/checkout, but have no intention in buying.

hahah so true. I've got four tabs up on my browser with big lists of parts right now.


here's a few I find applicable:

*when you want to plan a trip to Europe not for the sights but to hoard and ship back rare e30 parts.

*when your girlfriend, mom, dad, or friends tell you that they saw an e30.

*seeing an e30 in real life, no matter the condition, cause disproportionate excitement.

*spotting an e30 in a movie eclipses the plot.

*you look for a better job so you can afford more e30 parts.

*youre genuinely convinced you could never want or drive a different car.. besides another e30.

You go on vacation and miss your car.

This is so true. You get home at 4AM and have to take the e30 out for a drive before you sleep.

...asks where to put her coffee...

I normally point to the closest garbage can. No way someone's drinking coffee in my car. Maybe water if you're dying.

When you have one cup holder: Your passenger sport seat hamstring extender plus the center counsle as the wedge

YES!!! some one else dose this too! I have a bigger friend and i always say "Can you lean so i can put this in the cup holder"
Or when a girl gets in for the first time and asks where to put her coffee and you point there and she just stares.

[e30cynrunr]

When you go looking in junk yards for rare differentials from e23,e28,e30 just to swap on your car even though your differential is working fine.

When you can do a differential swap in 45min or less.

When an evo/sti drives by acting hard you say I'm the one driving a BMW.

When you will go for random drives to bfe just to go e30 hunting,and when you find an e30 in a yard or driveway that's obviously just been chillin you go knocking on their door.

When you can look at the most beat e30 and still see the potential in it.

When you help friends find/get an e30 just so you can help them build it, knowing they know absolutely nothing about cars.

When you see a person drive by that obviously isn't an enthusiast but they have rare parts on their car ie; Mtech wing,bbs rs rims etc, so you follow them then talk to them about selling their part/s.

when you have an awesome e30 but you still want another model e30 just so you can build it

When you have more e30 parts than you can use at one time.

When you have multiple sets/colors of interiors as back ups.

When you park your car in a parking lot in such a way that when you come back from the store you can have a long walk to your car while checking your car out.

When you will catch up to another e30 enthusiast on the road just so you can check out their car while giving each other the thumbs up.

***riving this thread***

When you see a chick driving an e30 and get pissed, then strangely aroused.

[Ayman]

When bitches on the road look at you like O.M.G.

[Rsully70sev]

When you park your car in the right position so you can see it while you work or eat.

Guilty 100% of the time.

-Everytime you hear a loud bang, you jump up from your couch to see if your e30 is okay.

I always look out my window when I'm sitting at my desk! Haha, loud noises or even footsteps late at night.

When you have another DD but just can't wait to get into your e30

qfft.

I F*CKED up my left ankle at the bars a week ago, so I didn't feel safe driving a clutch with a Rosie O'Donnell kankle. I drove my '01 740il all week and thought "wow this is fucking boring"...Today was the first day back in the E30 (I had IE sways installed while I was recovering) and had a blast to say the least!

[BavarianAddict06]

hahaha i do that with my e28

[samurai pizza cats]

when youre flying to a different state to pick up a e30 you can bearly afford, and lose sleep thinking how awesome the drive back is going to be (even tho its still a week away)

when you already have parts/mod list to a car you dont even own yet

when you have to explain to your friends why you bought a car without A/C or power steering
