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

[Roysneon]

30 minutes? You can go that long?

Thats what she said.

[kingston]

You can't stop looking at R3VLtd every 30 minutes.

30 minutes? You can go that long? LOL!

Manual crank FTW, it always seems like it takes forever to open it all the way, like literally years!

Some realOEM specific ones:



1) When your heart sank a little when you found that E30 had moved into the Archive section of realOEM, meaning now it's Mobile Tradition, meaning shit's gonna get pricey, or rampantly go NLA.

2) When your heart still sinks every time you go to realOEM, for the same reason as 1)

3) When you have your VIN's last 7 memorized so you can drive realOEM directly.

4) When you have ran all the drop-down filters on realOEM for your car, and then saved it as a favorite.

5) You browse the catalog for the euro equivalent version of your car looking for cool stuff and extra line items. You feel jipped.


....

1) when you are THAT guy that the condo strata minutes keep referring as to the 'no mechanical work permitted' policy and the 'excessive fluid leakage' policy.

2) when you pull into a BMW dealership and think you've just stolen the scene.

3) when you are disgusted that the service advisor at the BMW dealership can't quote you pricing for a job because they don't know the part / job you are referring to. Then you proceed to try and spin their LCD screen around and find it for yourself.

4) when you've just gone through 1/2 of the usual load of your own business cards in your own wallet, just to stop a bunch of rattles that creeped up last minute.

5) you have a manual crank sunroof and you smirk with pride when you crank it open at a redlight and the family behind you is pointing and talking in total amusement. Then you missed the light turning green.

Cannot wait to do this shit in my '86 325i

These have probably allready been posted.

-When your girlfriend cant find the door handle
-When someone says "Hey your car is leaking oil", and you say" No, its marking its territory"
-The tow truck driver remembers you :/
-When you put the sunroof tilted up, even if its cold/about to rain. Because i makes your car look cool.

[AsharC]

When your car loves to play basketball

[Rennsport]

When you crash the damn thing, shrug, and say "oh well, time for a new shell"

[slammin.e28]

when your girlfriend leaves you because you talk way to much about the car.

True story. =s

[CabbE30]

friends/family/co-workers say your car is old but you reply with "but it came with all modern technology, ie outside temp, power windows, heated seats, ellipsoids, etc."

....you have to push your OBC to stop it from looking like the predator self destruct count down.

LoL at the OBC part. Qft.

[Justin B]

When you try to unlock any car you have keys for from the trunk.

[kingston]

When you look up a sound file of a native-born German speaker saying Zinnoberot, and practice saying it with that accent tzeen-oh-behr-rote

When you frown at E36s, even though you've added an engine, short shifter, steering rack etc from one into your E30

When you take off your dress shirt and tie to do work in the parking garage of your office during your lunch break.

Another HAHA as my e30 is not my everday driver, BUT, when I come home and I start working on my e30 in my dress work clothes. Sure it would take 5 minutes to go inside and get changed but I don't want to waste that important 5 minutes that I could be working on the e30 :)
