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

[Lazr111]

You back way off before a sharp/sweeping corner or a roundabout so the person in front of you has enough time to poke around it and get the fuck out of the way before you drop into 2nd and fly around it like it's not even there.

So so so so true... couldn't have said it better myself.

[TreFlip]

Oh, and when the first thing your passengers say is "Where's the cup holders?" And the only thing you can respond with is a 5k clutch drop.

haha best one

you look every hour for new classified ads for parts to finish your project

+10!!;)

"... And the only thing you can respond with is a 5k clutch drop."

How many other cars will tolerate this like it's normal behavior?

You don't think twice about unlocking from the trunk, but everyone who rides with you has a really odd look when you do that.

You've taken the door panels off more than twice, because you swear there's got to be a way to swap the goddamn driver's door lock...

You find yourself craving all the NVH you can get out of an E30

You giggle a bit to yourself every time you see a newer 3-series, knowing you'd likely spank that car on track

When you think it's weird that your buddies all "need to go find a spot to turn around"

When it takes your passenger 5 minutes to figure out sport seats

When you ALWAYS take the long way home

[Turf1600]

When you fly to chicago to pick up a $1500 e30.

[Rocla]

You have been stalking and leaving notes on the delphin 325is down the street for a month.

You remember addresses and locations where owners of interesting e30's live, and twice a month you must drive by just to see if the the cars are still there.

"Lets drive to other side of town just to see if that red e30 is still there"

My wife hates it.

Your main use of the internet is R3V?

[blck325is]

When you feel withdrawals because your car is in the shop..

[Rockinlittle325i]

When you bought a 1978 datsun 280z, then a 1992 GTI 16v (after someone totaled yours) and still desperatly looked for another e30.

[Hartge_H27]

+100

[Rockinlittle325i]

When you feel withdrawals because your car is in the shop..

when you feel withdrawals when your going to bed for the night, after you just got home from work

[funcrew]

When you go to the dealer for $42 in parts and park next to a new M3 in case you need a jump to get your E30 started when you leave.

ALL of my E30's have required this. Newcomers to the car always wonder what the hell i'm doing with my trunk.

when this is your facebook profile pic


also:

-when you dream about being THAT guy that gets the ridiculous deal. aka that grandma happens to have a mint condition e30 that she wants to get rid of (its torture seeing people get perfect e30s for like 600-1500)
-when you wonder if spending money for a amusement park is really worth it, when you can just take ur e30 on some twisties
-when you dream that BMW will remake the e30
-when you wonder all day just how BMW made such a legendary car. im still mind-boggled
-when you have hundreds of parts layin around for no particular reason

[blck325is]

-when you have a very detailed plan for how to spend money you don't have and constantly try to find ways to get said funds.
-when you're constantly comparing every car you drive to your e30.
