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

[Albuquerque30]

When you go into work on your day off to dye your buddy's e30's headliner in a parking lot while he uses your e30 for a few hours.

[Ian Bowers]

When you look for buildings with lots of display windows, just so you can look at your "stance" while rolling. It's like voyeuring your car, yo.

you get excited when driving because glass windows in buildings are coming up and they show your cars reflection. you then stare into the window disregarding all other commuters or traffic. lol

I knew you were cool.

[ohthejosh]

when you go to an autoparts store and think about buying a crappy cupholder but decide not too because its not worthy enough for your e30

[kronus]

when you bleed the internal pump after a flameout by shorting the fuel pump relay with some wire from the trunk harness and letting it pump for a minute.

[e30trooper]

when you have to tap your fuel pump to get your car started :/

[TurboJake]

When you have to tap ANYTHING to get it to work....
Not just for fuel pumps

Sitting on my computer desk right now:
A window motor
An I tach
A speedo
2 orange relays
2 window switches
An ICV
And, a power window circuit breaker.

Hanging on the wall in front of me:
Hartge emblem
M20 Hartge valve cover

Sitting in the corner to the left of me:
M50 fan clutch
Hartge:
Side skirts
Spoler
Front valence


I think I own an E30...

[bmwguy325is]

When a new 3 series comes out and you find yourself pondering what new BMW parts its can donate.

[karzrtoyz]

And when you Horde a big enough stash of Euro shit and parts to build 4 more cars

-you dont let anyone have an open beverage or eat anything in your car
-you hit your passengers hand away when they try you change the radio
-cringe when the passenger slams the door
-yell random asshole things at pedestrians while you drive by
-you lock your passengers window so they cant put it up or down
-you name your car after the sound it occasionally makes
-you make turbo blow of noises when you shift
-you pull up to a mustang or a camaro at a light and laugh at their car
-e30 is your top search on google
-your girlfriend breaks up with you because you spend more time with your car than with her

[Rustyduktape]

hahaha, i love how everyone talks about the slamming of doors. All my friends do it, and i tell them every time not to.

- When you have to tell everyone that the door handle is further back than you think.

[InuFaye]

When the motor mount shears and the engine lurches forward and kills your hoses.

[slammin.e28]

When the motor mount shears and the engine lurches forward and kills your hoses.

....so you catch a ride home and grab your e36 M3 and finish the auto-x. POW!

[Yngvejos]

When you got a daily driver just to pick up parts and to have something to drive while working on your car.

[ohthejosh]

this goes for eta's

...when even if you down shift to speed up ahead of a car to change lanes it still takes 30 seconds to be safely ahead of aforementioned car.
