BMW, the sub culture. - United Bimmer Community

**Spieluhr** · 01-19-2006, 05:50 PM

I just got out of school and was driving down to the local sub shop before work and this guy in an M roadster followed me to the shop to tell me he loved my DDE's and wanted to know where to get them. We ended up talking for about 5-10 minutes, and yes I told him about UnitedBimmer

. And hopefully I will get to see him on this saturday's meet & drive. He was a really nice guy, and I thought it was great that there are drivers out there that recognize the pride of BMW.

and hopefully he will become a member here

DDE = RICE.

jk. Where did you get them?

That's awesome. I frequently pass by other modded e36's who flick their lights or thumbup to acknowledge another BMW modder. It's cool to be part of a community that sticks together like that. I doubt few other car Makes have the unity that BMW owners do.

I get thumbs up and light flicks in my POS e30, i love the bimmers, This one guy in an old 6er, gave me the thumbs up in stop and go traffic

lol no one in Delaware does that, but I see a lot of Evo and STI owners doing it.

I think with BMWs it's the area where you live that makes the atmosphere. When in Minnesota alot of BMWs are DRs cars & those pricks barely look at you. When I'm on the highway I get more "nods" from truckers and other folks. Now, with the "bird" it's totally different scenario I get "thumbs" even from cops (as long as I'm behavin')

What I LOVE is when am driving with my car and you pass like a brand new BMW and the old ass driver can't help but turn his head and stare at your car

But yeah, I get a lot of "high beam" or quick "fog light" Salutes from fellow BMW owners

witeshark · 01-19-2006, 11:42 PM

Yeah - that rocks!

**Numark318i** · 01-20-2006, 12:31 AM

yea. Its a good feeling. although i thumb up some BMW owners and they look at me like "wtf?"..idk
but yea its always kool.
I followed an E30 M3 over my mountain pass one night. had a nice little run. I followed the guy and he stopped, told him he had a sweet car. Exchanged some words and on we went. same with a 740il one night.
Dont think any one i know has arelationship with other car make owners as I do. BMW rocks.

Umnitza, best place in the world, wouldn't go anywhere else.

I give thumbs up to other BMW drivers too, but it's far too rare to see one that's modded around here, except for clear corners, i dont necessarily consider that a mod always. but i love getting comments from people who think my car is BRAND NEW, "nope, it's 10 years old." "no shit?!"

I was driving through the Taco Bell drive through with Rob the other day (Robstah on here), and a civic owner pulled up beside me, took in the car, then motioned for us to roll down the window, and went on and on about how nice it was. haha. but again, he drove a civic.

Storamin · 01-20-2006, 09:07 AM

It was modded, but not really rice. Small, aftermarket exhaust, no wing, no altezza's, etc. It was one of the better ones.

around here all the old people driving bmws are snobs and 90 year old women driving brand spanking new 545s. They never wave of course

Storamin · 01-20-2006, 03:45 PM
