Found this on the old hard drive using the new Google search feature. I like #35 the best - though I apparently don't like my car as much as that guy.
"You know you're an E34 Fanatic when...
1 You have E34 wallpaper and screen savers.
2 Your recently married twin brother tells you to stop obsessing on your BMW and find a wife.
3 You've printed out more than 3/4 of Bruno's site. You what "Bruno's Site" means.
4 You can't help but scan used car lots / newspapers for E34's in your area, just in case there happens to be a killer deal that you just can't pass up.
5 You know the location of every E34 on the drive to and from work.
6 Your girlfriend asks "why cant you look at me like you do your car?"
7 The women in your life wish you treated them as well as your car.
8 You know who Patrick and Yves are.
9 Your coworkers have you sit down to tell you a fellow coworker was involved in an accident while driving his BMW. Another coworker offered me a trash can in case I got sick when hearing the news.
10 You go to buy one or two parts off a parts car and instead you buy the entire car....
11 You've been told more than once that "it's no longer a hobby"
12 We all consider each other "Friends" & can meet for the first time, but somehow have an instant feeling of comraderie, bonding and friendship......
13 You consider flying 1200 km to another country for a e34 xmas breakfast!!!!!!
14 You go through the major pita trouble to import an E34 M5 Touring, and it's not your first (E34, Touring, M5 etc).…

24 Your spouse and kids know what "E34" means and they too can spot one from a 1/2 mile away.

34 You hear "dog bone" the first thing that comes to mind isn't a treat for dogs.
35 You wait until you get outside your E34 to fart.
36 You justify creating your own holiday cards because it will leave you more money for the E34.

38 Your girlfriend begins referring to the car as "the other woman."
39 The word "shimmy" sends chills down your spine.
