you know you drive an e36 when......

[Bacardiman04]

when your corner lights fly off while your driving and hit you in the hand while your window is open.
When your center grille comes off at 140mph
When all the people in the parts department at BMW know you by name.
When the ladies at the check out counter say "see you in two days" instead of "have a good day" And when they know which credit card you'll be putting it on before you even open your wallet(Amex bill....Insane!)
When your dad's pissed that he got his ass handed to him in his 92 corvette on the strip by his son in a M3(not once but 3 times)

You know you have an e36 when the window rolls up then goes back down on its own

When you FEEEL the need to wash the engine bay, but remember it's one of the taboos with an E36!! (Broken fan clutch and overheated engine because of that, $300 tag)

[White318i]

Never had any trouble washing my engine bay. Every third wash i detail under the hood, looks like the day she rolled off the line (bit of heat discolouration on some parts though)

- When your glove box hinge is broken
- When your lower ball joints go bad
- When your car can keep it's value even after 12 years or so
- When you search all over the net for a good deal on Vader seats (obviously if you don't have them already)

[LUCIDDREAM]

-When you spend you 401K you saved up for 2 years to buy mods and you still owe a balance on your loan.
-When your a/c works only when it wants to.
-When you have to unshark it every time you take it to the dealer.
-When your shift knob flies off as you slam it into 2nd.
-When it's so cold outside you door wont close
-When it's so cold outside you window freezes and wont drop down that inch and in turn wont close right and when you try to push the window down it comes of the track.(I think its on verts only)
