When you are with your girl/friends, push the Exterior Temperature button on the OBC and you tell them it's 85 ºF outside. Then they ask you which is the button for the temperature INSIDE the car and you start asking yourself why the F' BMW didn't get that feature. Damn OBC!

[Midnight Shark]

....... When you go out of your way to go some place and take so many god damn friggin pictures over, and over, and over again and again in every concievable position you can think of.

........When the girl you just picked up complains how noisy your exhaust is and how crappy the suspension is and naively says "Did you have your car check up recently?"

........When you constantly check the weather forcast out just to plan when to go cruising around with friends.

........When you've thought once or twice since you had your e36..."I'm gonna try doing donuts!"

.........When you start deleting all the important stuff from your computer just to provide enough space to download car videos.

........When car magazines start stacking up in your bedroom like wildfire!!

[Bandow325is]

When people say "Is your exhaust supposed to sound like that?"

[Baby ///M3]

You know you own an E36 when:

backwards but don't know how to pronounce them correctly.

3. You start boycotting anything that has to do with Audi.

4. Roll down the driver side window and shut off the air
conditioner to make everyone look at you play cool even
though it's 120 degrees outside.

5. You know more about BMWs than your college major.

6. When you know why people hate Jimmy 540.

7. You know the vader seats were not used in Star wars.

8. You know who Jon Sibal is.

9. You think everyone working at the dealership is a bastard.

10. Study your Bentley manual harder than your finals.

11. Try to think of every excuse why you would rather have an
E36 than an E46.

12. Sell your newer E36 for an older E36 M3.

13. Think Jim Conforti is one of the greatest tuner but don't know
who John Lingenfelter is.

14. When the name Recaro or HRE sounds more interesting than
Britney Spear.

15. When you had rather not have traction control on your car.

16. Hate BMW for not importing the Euro M3s here.

17. Hate BMW for not fitting ellipsoid headlights on your cars.

18. You never use your cupholders.

19. Would rather skip a meal than not fixing that loose fog light
bracket.

20. Spend months in deciding which HID kit is the best one for
your car.

21. You always barely pass the smog test for some reason.

22. You think people who call their cars beemers are ignorant.

23. Would rather watch a Top Gear DVD than porno.

24. Engage in spirited driving even though you know the gas
price has gone up to $3 per gallon.

25. Would rather write a 25 page letter to complain to BMW NA
for a little defective part found in your car rather than doing
your homework.

26. Think Car and Driver's editors are either idiots, or partial.

27. When you don't mind spending all this time just to come up
with the reasons to put in this thread.
