You know you're an e30 owner when you can spot an e30 mud flap on the side of the road 50 feet away. When you go retrieved it only to find out it came off your own e30. True story.

You have more interior options than any new car.
When your transmission whines
Your Idol never stays at 700rpm until it warms up
When the rednecks at school want you to take them for a ride along
You have a thousand + spare parts
Your always leaking oil
When you hear random clunks and bangs and your just like "it be ight it's an E30"
Your always on Craigslist looking for parts
There's an aquarium in your trunk
People always want to race you

Your gauges never work or they have a mind of there own and only want to work when they want to

Taking out the power steering and AC and it's considered an upgrade
You have like 10 different bumpers and valance combos to choose from
You have one for a racecar, like it so much so you build one for a daily
Everyone looks at your hood when you open it in amazement
People look at you weird would you back your car up to give them a jump
You have all the different gear ratios to choose from
Your battery compartment is rusted to shit
You never leave anywhere without tools

High schools give out laptops nowadays? I remember having to haul around 40lbs worth of books because my shitty high school didn't even have lockers...damn I feel old.

We still have to carry our books they just bring the laptops on a cart to class and let us use them.

You buy a new Bentley Service Manual because your original new one looks like it was found in the Reichstag in 1945.

When your high school teacher gives out laptops to work on an assignment in class and you get on R3V.

....Love driving your car for a couple months, then something breaks, and you go through withdrawl.

GUILTY....or leave the country and seek relief here... :popcorn:

[bacton]

how about when you only have $900 that's supposed to last you the rest of the year at college, but all you can think about is that you have $900 - just enough for GC coilovers and Koni adjustables all around. :D

damn, it sucks being poor.

My current life situation….as well as searching the web for hours on end trying to find non knock off wheels under 1500. BBS wheels and myself are in a love hate relationship

-When its cold out and your mom offers her e90 335i TwinTurbo 6 speed manual for you to drive, and yet you take the e30 with no heat because its more fun to drive yet pathetically slow in comparison. "more fun to drive slow car fast than fast car slow syndrome??"

-When the above-mentioned e90's shifter feels like the throws are stupid long and clutch feels like nothing is there... The e90 dreams of SSK


-When, not two days after buying it, you drive over the mountains, and 100yards from your destination, your diff to CV bolts all back out, leaving you r3ving as you roll into the driveway. Sticking all those bolts (that were captured by the CV boot!) in 15mins, priceless
