Is your E90 the most important thing in your life?

KennyVendetta · 03-30-2006, 08:01 PM

Seriously..do you spend more time washing your car and thinking about mods than you do your S.O.?

At what point does it become unhealthy?

Oz · 03-30-2006, 08:06 PM

I honestly don't wash or wax my car like many of you guys but I do like to stare at it sometimes and think about when I'm at work or something Or just talk about it with other people. And this website has definitely increased my BMW addiction!

ase2dais · 03-30-2006, 08:13 PM

its a temporary state of obsession, thats all it is, it ends when the e90/coupe/cabrio/M3 shows up and financial reality sets in

18LLC · 03-30-2006, 08:27 PM

I like to make it dirty, sooooooooo sexy.

j/k

KL2DC · 03-30-2006, 09:00 PM

Into my first 2 weeks of ownership I felt quite obsessed over the car but the honeymoon is ending and reality is setting in i.e. just made my first payment

Rocket850 · 03-30-2006, 09:07 PM

I haven't received my car yet but I doubt it would surpass the obsession I have for my motor cycle. And besides, it's the wife's car.

Hawkeye3 · 03-30-2006, 09:08 PM

While I love my car, it is not even close...9 mo old baby girl & wife top my list easy. That's just after changing a dirty diaper.

BMW335Ci · 03-30-2006, 09:26 PM

i love to stare at my car a lot hah

MoreCowbell · 03-30-2006, 09:30 PM

What's ahead of my e90...

-Fiance
-Puppy
-Family
-Friends
-Plotting against my future mother in law
-Terp Hoops
-Jets Football

And then my E90!!!

BimmerSD · 03-30-2006, 10:05 PM

I think this site has given me E90 OCD.

Romulus · 03-30-2006, 10:13 PM

cars used to be my life, when i was 21 or so i guess i got burned out.. i spent way too much time zaino'ing my camaro in the sweltering heat. it sucked. i could never concentrate in school, couldn't study, nothing..

now, i appreciate nice cars for what they are, but in the end it's still just a car.

Puppy above family??? Wow! What kind of dog? Anyway, God is at the top of my list, because he created the people who make this beautiful car. And he blessed me with a job that allowed me to buy one.

BMW F22 · 03-30-2006, 11:19 PM

it's a caR!!

That's cool, Gluck. I was just wondering if those were in order.

Robin_NL · 03-31-2006, 02:05 AM

I like my E90 a lot(though it's not incredibly fast though...)but it's just a car. I have scratches on it(some idiots tried to be 'funny' where I always park my car) and I don't wash it very often...

But I like to drive it. On trackdays too.

It's not a 'goal' to achieve, it's more a device to me.

Can't compare it to GF/friends/family.
A nice thing to have when it's your hobby

I agree. It just boggles my mind when I see people that pitch a fit when they find "microscratches" on their car. No car will be perfect forever.
