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

[JayDee916]

When you crack your oil pan and your purist mechanic dad says "Ya know if the car was still at its original height you probably wouldn't have this problem..." and you respond with a laugh and "Its good, I'll just buy a skid plate."

No, you have to jack up the car just to get another jack to fit....and your purist mechanic dad says "Ya know if the car was still at its original height you probably wouldn't have this problem..." and you respond with "yeah, now can you just pull up on the fender so I can fit this under there."

The posted speed limit is 50, the windy bit up ahead suggests 35.

You speed up.

...your e36 daily is the car your e30 is becoming! Everyday I look at my E36 daily and think, a 230bhp M52 in that E30 will give me a better power to weight ratio than a Euro M3 Evo!!!

...when the car was registered before you were born!

...your stopped filling up in a garage and old men in their 60's start to wander very close round your car asking questions like ''Thats had a webber carb conversion I see by the choke''

...the fuel gauge seems to go up as the fuel is going down!

...Ok I'm out of ideas but they are ones related to my experiences!!!!

... You refer to common colors like red and white as zinnoberrot and alpine...

That one is really good

I was asked at work if I had seen a key to a new 7 series, I responded by asking "The bronzit one?" Weird looks were given.

... You attend e30 meets ...
... You can upload a video of your e30 doing weird things/sounds and have someone successfully diagnose it over the internet...
... JB weld and zip-ties are ALWAYS ON HAND and are the first solution when something breaks...
... You go to germany for car parts instead of on "vacation" like you promised your family...
... You cried more when the car started for the first time after doing a swap than when your first child was born...
... You pull over and fart outside instead of farting inside your car and stinking up your houndstooth/leather seats...
... You refer to common colors like red and white as zinnoberrot and alpine...
... You know everything Castros Customs can do even though you have never been there....
... You see the people at the junkyard more often than your nearby family...

When people ask why you lock your car and you say my dash has no cracks! it could be stolen/ruined.

You have to jack the car up to get the engine hoist to fit.

No, you have to jack up the car just to get another jack to fit.
