    When...

    You get props from everyone.

    Girls randomly stop you in the parking lot and comment on your car.

    You are trying to decide on doing the Super Fog mod.

    You wish you had a Euro engine.
    Instead you go to AA for instant gratification.

    all of the above and then some...

    - you can't afford an e46, but then remember you don't care

    - your beloved last car faded from memory the moment you fired up the new rocket

    - you spend hours in research trying to find the best leather lotion for your seats and end up trying them all

    - your friendly service advisor tries to explain vanos to the cluesless guy in line ahead of you because he's about to write a check for $1500 worth of labor

    - you drive an 11 year old body style that will drop jaws for years to come

    - you wonder how much it would cost to retrofit an e46 sunroof so you can watch the rain come down and then realize you're driving in the rain and gun it for the nearest parking garage

    - you've mishifted multiple times and your car still loves you

    - your friends just smile when you turn off the ASC

    - you wish you had a polaroid of the guys face for everytime you hung with a mustang GT straight to the limits of your stock software and for everytime a 6cyl firebird took the next driveway to avoid being at the next stoplight beside you

    - old men in brand new corvettes nod as you drift past them through the intersection

    - you have to pull over, get out, and open the trunk to put in your girls cd

    - the cop asks who you stole it from

    I could go on.....bimmer love

    When you are in denial of still thinking your car is still hot

    When you are driving your mom to the supermarket because your girfried dump you for a guy with Celica or RSX.

    When you call E46 a 'girly' car because you can't afford one!

    here's one I've done many times....

    when you wake up in the morning to the sound of rain, the first thing you think about is your car and the fresh cleaning that has just been jacked. Afterwards you are mad for the rest of the day...until you clean your baby again...then all is good.

    when insurance companies understand why it cost 800 for a 4 inch scratch

    take a lap around you car in the morning for several different reasons

    spend more in gas then you do on food

    have to do all the driving when you go out with your friends because you car is the coolest

    pepole say im spoiled and rich because i drive a bmw

    dont let people sit in the back because your seats have to folded down to make your subs louder

    spend hours on the net for no other reason then your bmw

    girlfriend allways give your threats to mess up your car if you cheat on her agian

    when you slide around turns because your tires are extremely bold and you dont buy new tires because you have money for new wheels but cant decide

    when parking in lots like the mall you have to drop your girlfriend off at the door cuz you park a mile away...but when forced to park next to cars you drive around till you find 2 cars on each side of you that are nice as yours

    when you are about to goto bed at 4 in the morning on a school night but cant remember if you set your alarm so you have to go check

    when your ash tray and lighter have never bin used

    when having sex you yell out your mpg

    when you cant figure out what that limiter does on your obc and even if you set it you can exceed it?

    when civics pull up next to you and try to race but you just kiss your sexy lady and smile

    when school mates ask for a ride around the block because they never rode in a bmw

    when its cold out you have the heat on full blast with your windows down so people can hear your system better

    you idle over speedbumps

    make the inside of your car completely silent so you can hang your head out the window and listen for noises

    when you allways wear your seat belt because of the after market bmw cushin that lays so nicely on your shoulder

    dont get 2 dark of the tint because you want people to see that your driving

    allways put your keys in noticable places so others see your bmw remote

    allways get the highest octane gas for pretty much no reason at all

    get threw the school day knowing you get to go drive your bmw when the last bell rings

    make fun of kids in school for talking about there ricer cars and the next ricer mod there gettin

    allways think about how your going to get a manual transmission

    ok that enough i could go on forever

    ....when you spend more hours surfing BF than sleeping

    ....when you drive a certain way home just to look in the mirror glass building

    ....when you have to hit the side of your dash to make the radio work

    ....when you can't wipe that little smirk off your face

    When youre passengers in the rear seats are asking " How come my windows dont go up auto-matically?"..........


    When you cringe every once-in-awhile when you hear that "Click, Click, Click, Click, Click, Click, Click", Coming from youre engine......


    When youre friends say " Youre car hauls ass huh? ", or " Youre car is slow huh? "......


    [For those of you with the CD changer in the trunk]
    When youre friends ask " Where's youre CD player? ".........


    When you blast the stereo just to avoid hearing " SQUEEK ", from the steering wheel......


    When you order a large drink, grab the cup holder and throw it on the passenger seat and smash the drink into the center console......


    When you haul-ass in parking structures just to hear your engine humming and tires screaching. With moderation..........


    When you consider the word " Short-Cut ", an insult.......


    Those are just some of mine ..........

    when you go to a gas station and put the gas in your car by yourself because you dont want the gas attendant to spill gas on your car if overfilled.

    when you keep looking for an exuse to take a long road trip to canada just so you can drive your car untill your feet hurt.

    when. while you drive you see an E46/New 7 series/Z4 up ahead and criticize out loud how ugly they are, but when you catch up to them you still give them a big thumbs up and a smile... most of the time you get a weird look back, btw.

    when you save your lunch money because you dont drive below 5k rpm

    when you start saving your lunch money because you have 200$ left untill you can buy those nice 18" HRE's

    when you would take your "old" e36 over a 2003 Benz
