You might own a 1 series if...

zeeth2800 · 04-21-2015, 04:25 PM

I was thinking it could be fun to make a "You might own a 1 series if" thread. Love to see what funny ones pop up!
I'll start.

...if your wastegate rattle and BOV sound similar.

You might own a 1 series if....

You love being asked "is that an M3"? Or "why did you buy a 1 when you can buy a 3"? Or personal favorite...trying to find tires and proper rim offset that'll fit the 1 series!

I've been asked "What BMW do you have? I don't see many of that around."

edisapimp · 04-21-2015, 05:55 PM

You look back at the car at least once between when you get out of it and when you get in to where you are going.

Yeineken · 04-21-2015, 06:15 PM

When someone says "Who cares it's just a cheap little one series..." My favorite. Yet they cost the same / if not more than a 3 series.

And that mainly comes from my brother. Who was shocked when I told him it wasn't a 150 hp fwd car but a 320hp rwd.

"You might own a 1 series if" you take pride in a girlie car that with minimal mods, makes over 400 ft-lbs of torque, smells like a lawn mower, and cold starts sounds like crap (with a catless downpipe) ...

you might own a 1-series if........

........you have a dream that you were attacked by Chris Bangle at a nightclub.

I do this constantly... Always turning around to get one more look... and parking far away to get a nice long look as I walk back to it.

Thank God for Chris Bangle!

^ Ditto. Park as far away as possible yet there is always that one person that insists on parking next to you...similar to a urinal in the bathroom

You might own a 1 series if you smirk at every 3er on the road and think, "They don't know what they are missing."

Esteban · 04-21-2015, 07:00 PM

You can beat up on a 3 series even though you both have the same engine.

mr.fabulous · 04-21-2015, 07:15 PM

You might have a 1-series if you hate all other current-model BMWs

oh oh here is another...

if you are familiar with what comes at 8years/ 82k miles and 10 years/120k miles.

gap · 04-21-2015, 08:41 PM

If you tell your significant other with a straight face "But Honey this will be my last mod I promise!"

Or

"Yes it is a 1 series, if there was a lower number BMW would have to use decimals.

five_timer · 04-21-2015, 08:51 PM

You tell people what model car you have, and they say "what's that?".

+1.

I've been asked that on two different occasions at the gas station.
