can't figure out where the noise is coming from when you turn, to later realize you left your old spark plugs, sockets, and ratchet in the blower area.
show off the hood opening.
recite the size of every socket used to take the car apart.
blind people intentionally with your 4 headlights.
consider adding more headlights.
regret leaving the windows cracked in the morning because the steeringwheel feels gross.
barely creep by interstate traffic at 100mph. damn speedo
are told that your car is slow until you point out that they're looking at the tacho.
when you get confused looking at another cars tacho.
honk to make people laugh.
electrical problems are funny and irritating at the same time. blinker headlight dashlight tango.

How about when your heater blower motor is louder than your engine. Or if you've ever crushed anyones fingers by opening the hood while they fumbled for the imaginary release at the front.

you have one sitting in the yard and a tree brach hits it and smashes out the rear window and dents the roof. So you decide to gut the car and get it ready for the 24 hours or LeMons http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/

You know when you own a 320i when you think mounting Hella lights ON TOP of the bumper is cool!

...you get excited when you hit 80mph going down hill on the highway.
(happened to me today, first time I take it for a long drive)

... when you have to clean the seeping brown gunk off the bottom edge of the rearview mirror because you're sick of people asking, "What is that?!"

... when you just learn to live with the yellowing trim around the front and rear windows.

...your biceps have grown 2 inches without going to the gym.
...your wipers come on when you turn left.

... when you have a pimp lean going whenever you drive.
... when your friends call your car the leanmobile.
... when volkswagen enthusiasts always want to buy your rims.

You know you drive an E21 when it looks like you are wrestling the Incredible Hulk when you either A. Parallel park, B. make a U-Turn, C. in any given parking lot going under 5mph.

Ha! This is my favorite. I don't let my wife drive mine because she scares me when she trys to turn the damn thing at low speeds!

powersteer FTW!
