haha one of my favorite... then you add "sorry" afterwards and pat your steering wheel, hoping nothing's bent or busted

...When your friends (and girlfriend) laugh at you cause your tripping over things walking away from your car cause your looking at it instead of where your walking.

...When you make up excuses to leave school early so you can make it to a meet and hang out with the other Bf.c people.

**volcomnator999** · 03-22-2006, 09:43 PM

when ur car goes "beep, beep, beep" randomly and ur like "WTF?!"

**bimmerguy** · 03-22-2006, 10:43 PM

-when everyone knows you by the guy that drives the bimmer (if they forget your name)

-when your door locks actuators go crazy and start acting up and cost you 500 hundred bucks to repair.

-when your revving it to over 5000 rpm's and you know nothing in this world sounds better than this motor.

-when you take a corner above average speed and you wonder.......is that a sedan or a real sports car?????

-when you are over 6 feet tall and nothing fits you right after you have owned it.(iv'e been in bigger sedans and they have less leg room and head room than e36.

When you Mr.Sheen the back seats, have people in the back and rip it round a corner just to hear the girls reaction when they go sliding across.

I agree. I am 6'3", and The only thing that seems even close is the new E90 BMWs. But that was with the manual seats just like in my car. I have a friend that has set in mine and he is at least 6'5" or 6'6" and he fits fine. But, all he could get was an integra and he had to lower the seat.

When you have a thread 1267 posts long that you keep looking at to find out how similar other e36 owners and you are...

You know you drive an e36 when you quit smoking, but still wake up at 4:30 in the morning for that little routine.

When you realize that highways suck. Onramps are heaven.

When you line up with a e46 325i, give em a nod, smoke em, and realize you paid 20 grand less for your car, which has better styling & performance (after mods), and ignorant people can't even tell the difference between our two cars.

When you're on your 4th sunroof cartridge. of 06'

(IT WORKSSSSSSS!! i JUST installed it and it works

)

When your glovebox sags.

When you hear yourself explaining to people what a fan delete is, and start kicking yourself for not doing it yet.

When you intentionally leave late to get places. But always arrive early

and my favourite:

You know you drive a e36 when, as an 18 year old kid, its not uncommon for you to spend hours at gas stations/coffe shops/dealership talking to people 3 times as old as you are, who own cars that cost 5 times as much as yours, and knowing you love your baby just as much as they love theirs

Brake light circuit failure FTW.

**Goon** · 03-23-2006, 04:53 AM

... when you wash the car at 9pm, just because you cant stand seeing it dirty.

I am guilty as charged...

**kalimot** · 03-23-2006, 11:21 AM

.... when you want to keep it as long as you live

**GoNz0** · 03-23-2006, 12:40 PM

when you finally get a decent afternoon off work, the suns finally out with no rain for-cast.. you think to yourself, i had a hell of a day at work and I'm exhausted...
Perfect weather to cut the grass as its finally dry...

3 hours later, stand back and admire just how good the car looks with a fresh coat of polish

**bonoz** · 03-23-2006, 02:04 PM

When you are having a bad day, and the moment you catch sight if your car; that bad day turns into a very best one.

**motorwerks** · 03-23-2006, 07:26 PM

when you get pulled over, and you keep thinking about how much attention your beautiful car is getting on the side of the road...

**RahgBag** · 03-23-2006, 09:15 PM

-Car is on a tow truck-

Ahh...How can a car that looks so good give me so many damn problems!

Love you babe!
