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

[Don Stevens]

....when you pass an E30 in a driveway everyday on your way to work and wonder when its gone did they sell it and why didn't I ask them if they were selling it

You actually stop and knock on that stranger's door only to find him say "I love it. I'll never sell it".

When you have gone through this entire thread at least twice

When you waste nearly $1000 in parts and time acquiring, refinishing, and fitting 7 series wheels to your car just because:



When you realize that you are older than most of these guys dads and you are STILL f#cking around with e30s

When you wake up at 5 in the morning on your day off and you can't sleep because you can't stop thinking about E30s....

Every day for the last 7 years a bronzit convertible, I just need to stop one day and see if he will sell it. It literally has not moved the entire time I have been driving by it every week and is just wasting away..

When you're constantly blinded by everyone's low beams

[Ether-D]

When "bronzit" is a expletive.

You know you're an IX owner when you get mad because 4wd vehicles are too slow in front of you in a snowstorm.

[E30beemer]

When your on this site 24/7 looking on the "for sale" section.
When your phone has more pics of e30's then people

[TehRaydarlover]

When the PO doesn't replace the odometer gears and it still says 200k

When you decide to turbo said "200k" e30

When you go to give someone's car a jump and their mind is blown when you pop the trunk.

Every single time

when you don't know how much gas you have, how fast you're going, how many RPMS you're at, or the temperature of your engine.

"Do you know how fast you were going, son?"

"... uhhh ... zero?"

.... When you subscribe to for sale posts and say to yourself "soon as I have the funds I'm getting it" and when it sells just take it off your wish list.😫

...When you turn on the heater and it only works for 1min.

That is my car!!! I still love it!

-When your friend says your e30 is the best riding lowered car he's ridden in.
-it idles terribly, but you don't care because the pull to the redline makes up for it.
-Double clutch EVERY downshift, including 1st in front of skool.
-You dream of sticking the LSD back in because of the peg-leg un-sliding behavior upon taking a free right.
-Owned your e30 6 months and have been everywhere and touched most of the car.
-When your pre-long-drive rituals include jacking up the car(because too low!), and sliding under with a tray of tools.
-Check r3v every 5 mins when "supposed" to be doing homework.
-When your Lukebox bumps real loud inside but barely makes itself known over your muffler outside.
-When you love a good rainstorm, but hate the idea of how dirty it will be after.
-When you rinse your car off after getting home during said rain.

I love my e30

[DER E30]

-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
