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

[BulletTooth]

When you drive a brand new more expensive, more powerful, faster car but when you get back into yours you still LOVE IT and say "this is better".

I had a set of Kamei eyebrows that came flying off, but that was . . to be honest at around 150 - 170mph . . . but still

When you dont let you significant other drive your car.

When you work two jobs just so you can pay for it.

[victorious_1]

i definitely blew all my money away for my 98' 328i =[ but it was all worth it!

- When you get anal as ppl are getting out of your car, watching that they don't put weight on your precious vader seats...

- When you are so happy you bought a california car duster so you don't have to wash the car EVERY week.

- When you get upset at yourself during the times you don't warm up the car first.

- When you detail the things UNDER the hood.

- When the first thing someone says as they enter your car for the first time is "nice car" not "hi"

- When you can't believe your car is almost a decade old, and can still most of the cars out there.

- When E46 M3 owners stare at your car, while you mind your own business.

- When you spend too much time on DTMPOWER.net...

im getting scared now, i'll be waiting for the car to fall apart tonight! but you deffinatly know you own an E36 when your glovebox wont shut, your windows do what the hell they want and you stare at yourself in every reflectable surface you can find! i love my E36! ive been nodding to nearly all of these posts guys.

[shaggs]

half of them have already happend and waiting for the other half!
although i would rather it not happen at all

[hammerfang]

this is a great thread and i must say i agree with everything, r there any sites such as e46fanatics or e90fanatics for the e36?

when u have more pics of ur car then ur gf.

when u've had to replace the rear shock mounts.

when u yell at people for using the frame-less window to close the door(coupe and vert) and they look at u like ur crazy.

[coolzero312]

Holy Shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of these posts are earilly true......
-When you hose it down after driving in the rain, so the dirty water doesn't dry and look dirty.
-When you wash it when it's really not that dirty.
-When you rip on it in a tunnel, just to hear the exhaust scream.

^And after exhausting most of your resources you go to the dealer and find out its only 25 bucks for the break light switch that fixes the problem.

When you wash your car and wonder how you have a busted fog light. (2 since I owned my car.)

When you are willing to pay top dollar to recover the manual, glove box flashlight, and all the tools that the previous owner sold on eBay for a few extra bucks.

When you show off to all the Honda drivers by closing your windows and sunroof with the key in the door.

(edit) oh yeah, when you have to replace your m3 mirrors that someone ripped off your car to put on their honda. (bastard didn't even paint them to hide the fact that he stole them off my car)

How could I forget about the frameless windows!! so true..

Thought of some more.

- When you tell ppl not to "slam" the door shut. It's not a Honda...

- While you're putting gas in the car, you're thinking.. "I'll baby the car..gas is so expensive.. ($3.50/gallon) ... but when you're DRIVING the car...you're thinking.. "It's worth the extra bucks to get this adrenaline rush"

- During transport of food, you tie the bag up two times, with two bags, wrap it with the spare jacket in your truck, and put the food in the trunk.

- When you leave the windows open all night in the garage, so the french fries you've just transported doesn't stink up your car.

- When you open the door for your lady, when her hands are dirty... She thinks you're a gentleman..but you just don't want her touching your car..

- When you laughed at the VOLKSWAGON commercial for showing that off -



- When everything else you drive feels like.. ..
I'm looking for a commuter, and it sucks!
