You know you drive a E36 when....

[Kos-motate139]

When you pass M5's on the track?

[Dan]

when the sunroof fails
when you use it as a daily since you got a beast at home for club racing.

[jwBm.W]

When you sell your E21 that you drove for 9 years and 230,000 miles and buy a E36 that you have driven for 4 years and 55,000 miles and say ' 6 cyliners are better than 4'

Love my baby

When people ask you what kinda car you drive..and you respond "bmw.." then they proceed to ask "what year?" you say "'94," and they say "Oh, an old one..."

When kids with 15000 dollar chryslers say "Spoiled asshole, you drive a bmw..."

I love my e36

that's why you just lie...tell people who have no idea your car is a 98....they don't need to know they didn't make 325is in 98 but the 328...but who cares? and for people who know there cars just tell them the real age...and they'll be amazed at how well the car looks...

[TheBestCow]

...when your passenger buckles in and the airbag light comes on.
...when your door panels start sagging away from the body of the car
...when your headliner sags
...when girls ask how many months old she is, because they think she's new
...when you spend four hours detailing and couldn't be happier

yay

[bellavus]

when everyone says:
how can you keep your car so clean?
Oh I thought it was new
you're so spoiled since your dad bought you a bmw
why do you wash it every week?

[DiScoTeknix]

.....every night you and your friends get in your car to drive around and jock all the girls, but always end up cruising the twisties, sideways.

.....your bottle of sprite falls out of the cupholder all the way into the back when you floor it.

.....you shift at redline just to hear it growl.

[CrayzeeM3]

... when you play with your OBC just to show off to the people in your car.

[Croak]

...when you get sick and tap your foot on the floor five times fast to see what the diagnostic code is.

...when you tap your mouse button just so, and are surprised when the page doesn't automatically roll up and down.

...when you try to double lock your house door when leaving.

...when you get chilly and reach for the TEMP button to see why.

...when you get hungry and reach for the RANGE button to see why.

...when you are on a diet and reach for the CONSUMPTION button to see how you are doing.

...when you look back after closing the door of another car because you didn't hear the window roll up.

...when you only buy soft drinks in 12 ounce cans, because you know a 20 ounce bottle is going to end up in the floorboard.

...when you look at an E46 and wonder how they could possibly get by without an external trunk button.

...when you drive an E46 and complain about it being too quiet and mushy.

[Dinan330ic]

when your rollover bars pop up at an autoX

when your front windows never scoot down when you open the door

when your shift throws are extremely long

[Dj Waffelz]

When they say your car is boxier than the new BMW's

[AvusBluR]

...when it says BMW- AvusBlau Metallic 276 on the shock tower
...when you're out hand-washing her in 45-degree weather
...when people ask if that's the new BMW hatchback
...when people can't tell a Ti from an ///M3

You know you drive a e36 when you're paranoid as all hell about every single sound emanating from your car.

[DiScoTeknix]

...your friend's are always playing with the door locks while you are driving.

...you can't remember your radio security code.

...you drive with your foglights on during the day thinking it's cool

[kherber540]

when you skip school just to hear the engine scream, and to turn the asc off, and to hear the tires break loose and power slide around the twisties, and just to shift the smooth 5spd, for hours..and hours...

when you get a call from your parents telling you you're grounded for not coming home for hours...and hours...hehe

[jesd325is]

when the aftermarket is so big you usualy have 3 choices of vendors to choose from.

[toofast4U]

when you stare at you car in every window just to see the rims spin

you rev your engine in covered parking garages, in hopes of setting off some rice rocket's alarms!

when pull over 145 on the highway just because you can (after your rev limiter is removed!)
