Think we should start a thread about crazy things BMW enthusiast do, so if you have something to add please do.


You might be a enthusiast if... you have summer tire caps.

[L0F]

If you've overhauled your cooling system multiple times...

[Flak]

479773You remove your subframe for the fun of it

[stephenkirsch]

You buy an e46 after already owning an e46 :)

[325bob]

Not sure what a "tire cap" is?! I've seen BMW tire valve caps, but not summer ones, but I do have 4 sets of rims and 12 tires in 3 diameters, does that count?

You might be an enthusiast if...

You choose your parking spots based on who parks next to you

You check your car before you go to bed

You sit near the window in restaurants so you can see the car from inside

You wash your car because it has been a week even though its not dirty...

You own an e36 m3

[Matt Cramer]

If you have a timeslip for your daily driver.

If you blow your engine, and the first thing you wonder is what more powerful motor will swap in.

Or - you'd already planned exactly what motor you were going to swap over to.

[Crusher47]

you put up with the interior of the E36

It's a thread for enthusiasts, not masochists.

[SmokemhontaS]

if you know the color code for your current car and multiple past cars by heart

[ian02]

If you can remember the last 7 of the vin of multiple E30's that you sold over 10 years ago

[Sedan Hussein]

you actually enjoy creating/updating your extremely in-depth maintenance log/spreadsheet.

[d1984]

you cringe whenever you hear a bmw with a bad fan clutch

you know people are driving by wondering why you're taking pictures of your old bmw on the side of the road

you spend more on mods and maintenance than the car is worth

you love looking at your halos in the reflections of other cars and windows, and you always look to the side when you're in traffic next to a building with large windows to see your car's reflection

[M62pwrdE38]

You don't keep track of how much you've spent.

I lost to this...

[wwBRww]

......bills still aren't paid, but yet you are browsing the for sale sections making offers.

[ndog14]

You think your next car won't be a BMW but deep down you know it will.

[freeagnt54]

You drive faster on the on-ramp than you do on the freeway.

[McKinney]

You sit near the window in restaurants so you can see the car from inside...


This!

[E39Chris525i]

Too lazy to read every post so I'll say:

when you have 47 pics of your BMW on your phone and none of the better 1/2 :shifty

[pizzaman09]

You have people ask if your 12 year old car is a new model because they haven't seen one before and it is so clean.


You drive faster on the on-ramp than you do on the freeway.

I am very guilty of this.

[Cracker]

when you pull out the auto for a manual, because you know the true potential enjoyment.:love1

My girl always yells at me for this, she doesn't like losing the phone wallpaper war to a car.

You spend as much time watching the temperature gauge as the road . . .

[toybreaker]

You are the guy at work that gets asked "hey you know BMW's? What could this noise be?"

[bucs19]

Amen

[bucs19]

You are the guy at work that gets asked "hey you know BMW's? What could this noise be?"

"How do you fix it when yours sounded like this"
