*when you practice heal and toe while sitting through boring classes/ boring days at work

*when you go to sleep visualizing your favorite mountain road/race track trying to pinpoint the best apex for each turn to maximize the the line

*when you spend every sat. and many free hours during the week up in the machine shop building a spec race car, so you can go out and experience the performance of a true formula car every sun.

* When something cool happens driving somewhere and your first thought is "I can't wait to go home and post this on UB"

* When you pass by a farm and seeing a horse standing in the field makes you think of Ferrari.

* When you hear a loud exhaust from a distance and can name the car, like a modded mustang gt.

* When your a member of at least 3 car-related facebook groups

* When you have organized and actively run an online car community.... lol

What do you define rice as? Rice is useless mods that do nothing for performance, and in fact may decrease performance.

Such things as 18 inch or larger rims, headlights, lowering springs on stock shocks, tint, body kits, interior bling, taillights, everything useless that the majority of the community does is defined as rice.. but oh no, god forbid someone call it that, since afterall we're talking about beamers here.

When you get up every morning thinking about those oh so sexy coilovers, that you would literally kill for.

First, it's BIMMER not beamer. If you can't get that right stfu. It's in the name of the F***ing forum.

Second, while I completely agree w/ you that a lot of bimmer owners do "rice" their cars out, there are several components you described as rice which in fact or not (i.e. 19 inch rims made by Dinan to help optimize the e46 handling, and numerous body components that increase engine and or brake cooling, down force, and overall aerodynamics).
