You know you are a Coupe owner if....

[Ohmess]

The time you have spent on the restoration portion of your "rolling restoration" exceeds the time you have spent rolling.

 

[ablank135]

...you actually considered a vanity plate that reads:

 

[rsporsche]

The time you have spent on the restoration portion of your "rolling restoration" exceeds the time you have spent rolling.

+1 ... i'm there

 

[3nsahalee]

... you have 30 lbs of assorted tools, and another 30 lbs of emergency spare parts in your trunk.

 

[pmansson]

Fast driving

You drive 350 miles and are overtaken by <5 cars, of which 100% are at least 35 years younger

 

[m73]

The guy at the BMW parts counter 'mocks' you for spending so much $$$ on castrol TWS for a non 'M' car....

Or maybe he was a bit obtuse?....:confused:

 

[italiangerman]

for every improvement project you complete you add two more to the list.

 

[Robertsocal]

Your wife has finally had enough and proclaims "It's Me or That @$#^^&$ CAR!!!"
Six months later there the car sits, pretty as ever. The wife with THAT scowl...MMM not so much

You notice all this in a moment of clarity while purchasing spare parts that were just replaced because they really are hard to find!

Then shopping goes awry and you have ordered another 1k in parts for a future project on a car that is supposed to be gone!.

gotta get the wife counseling.......

Coupe owner if...

Dang these are good. Really supports the notion that this really IS a support group.
...you get accustomed to your eyes bleeding after cross referencing part numbers on Real OEM for several hours..

 

[pmansson]

Pillow

Your back starts aching because you forgot to put a small pillow behind your back when driving for more than 30 mins. (Why did only CSL cars get comfortable seats??)

[Ohmess]

The parts guy at the nearest BMW Classic Certified dealer learned from you that there actually are people who will insist on buying parts that do not match their VINs, and oh by the way, if you are going to make a big deal about the importance of VINs, you need to stop saying that all VINs are 17 digits long because before the 1980s, that's not true.

 

[JIMC]

You're a real E9 fanatic if you borrow the family turkey baster on Thanksgiving Eve for an "emergency" change of 6 ounces of power steering fluid.

 

[CSteve]

The only thing you put on the dash tray is driving gloves.

 

[dave v. in nc]

Murray, our friend...

You know that the Blue Max was ALSO a WWI flying medal...we still miss you, old friend...

 

[HB Chris]

Dave, I wouldn't be surprised if Murray is upstairs sourcing clean rust free coupes for his boss.

 

[m5bb]

You rebuild the motor with lots of cool stuff that makes wonderful sounds and then 10 days later you drive your coupe from Atlanta to Colorado and back because you like to drive it and the motor needs breaking in.

If....

You know you're a coupe owner if every time you drive your "normal" car you turn the wipers on at the first turn.

Or if you've contemplated the math on how many hours of your life have been lost to rolling up the power windows.
