You read a wheels offset and automatically work out what size spacers would make et13.

You know how to open the door from the inside.

why things in your glove box are wet?
you can use your feet to move the car, flinstones style?
you know how useful a small piece of paper/card is in a car....just in case a certain button decides to pop out?

all of which don't apply to my E21, but i think they are worth of a mention

and yes, why did bmw put the handles there? everyone i know gets confused by them. still, makes it look tidy i suppose.

You think anything bigger than 15 inch is just too much.

You check your car out in every shop front you drive past.

When you hear people say ''it's a 2002'' you put them straight!

You crave LSD but it has nothing to do with drugs.

you spend more time working on your car and/or on e21 forums, than actually driving it...

You suddenly realise your grasp of the German language has become pretty good from all of those hours on German eBay:
Lenkrad? Auspuff? Bremstasterzirkel?
Why you mean steering wheel, exhaust and brake caliper don't you?
