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

[slaterd]

I do it too. I make sure to back in with the car facing the restaurant so I can see that sexy e30 front end.

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

I thought I did that due to paranoia?

[slaterd]

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

when you look at this pic and you get wood but the chick in the blue dress is blocking the view and you're wishing she would just leave...

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

-When you pat the middle of your dashboard and say "good e30" after taking a fun corner.

-When your e30 is cleaner than you are.

-When your interior lights work on days you don't need them, and they all of sudden fail to work when you actually need them.

-When you have that one friend who keeps telling you they love your car, just so you can let em drive it.

-When you close your trunk, and you open it again and close it again. Just cuz it sounds boss.

When you spend weeks convincing yoru wife that the M30 swap is the only thing you need to do to your E30 only to realize that you need a nice VAC head a Schrick cam and a Miller WAR setup too.

When you enter a base car show thinking people will appreciate a clean M30 swapped car and get pissed when a yellow Prowler with rainbow flames beats your car.

I just threw up a little, over that visual in my head. Thanks...

This might have been said. "When you view other series BMW's as parts donors"

When your wife refers to your E30 as your Mistress.

Haha. That's her name (my M3). We refer to her as the Mis's. :D

[enigmaticdream]

...when you spend 10x more time looking at the forums and for parts than driving it

when you think everyone in the world secretly wants to stare at your e30 and applaud while those that don't are just trying to act cool or are total idiots with no class or appreciation for the finer things.

when you do a swap and can't operate the pedals very well for the first month because your knees are shaking too violently with the adrenaline and excitement.

when you are hoping something breaks so you can justify that upgrade, but it never does and you end up justifying it in the name of reliability!
