You know you own an e9x M3 when...
You've got a 1/4 tank of gas and an 7 mile commute.... and you're not sure if you'll make it back home.

I don't know if those comments above represent anything specific about owning the M3. I can go 60 miles on a 1/4 tank and I don't see the point of hanging the tail out at 15mph. Oh, and I have an M3 too.

- when you spend more time with the gas station attendant than with your wife
- when your car drinks more oil than you drink water - when you always hit 8400 rpm at least once every single day - when you like to turn the traction control off and hang the tail out when cornering on a rainy day - when you go to an empty parking lot at 1 am just to do donuts and burn rubber - when you look for the most remote and isolated parking spots far far away from other parked cars, and then have to walk a kilometer to your destination - when you heel and toe every time you brake for a corner (doesn't apply to posers who bought the automatic M3 ) |

i always found this little funny, because our M3 low gas warning comes up way too soon compared to other cars usually my non-M3 cars give me low gas warning at 15~20miles left on tank (according to the car) or almost at the bottom of the gas gauge, but M3 usually turns that sign on when there's still 1/4 left on the tank

My top 3:
- When you actually volunteer to do errands for your wife - When you keep looking at it every time you walk away - When every time you try to open your window, you end up openning the rear's (E90). |

- You wish you could be outside and hear your own car coming down the street.

When you get in your wife's X5 50 and you (comming from DCT)
- you always have trouble getting into R and back to D. - constantly trying to shift using non-existant paddles. - when you fill up the X5 and you have to put 21 gallons and not 16
