    Default Since E34s are widely available for cheap now.......

    and I live in/near Chicago, I usually **** my pants at how bad they look. Most E34s in this area are beat.

    Ha...These are the suckers who end up selling them for $2500 when the idle valve gets dirty.
    Next to the 525 badge. Rolled up next to him to waive and noticed the badeg on the back so I ketp on rolling. Most E34 owners I see around here treat their car like ****. I have had an owner of an M6 come up to me in a parking lot and tell me he liked my car. Other than that I haven't seen any comraderie out there, just on this board.

    There is one other 535 in the town I live. His is a 1987 and mine is a 1990. We give the thumbs up to each other. There are some 3's, one 6 and a few 7's, and several Z's and we all wave. Should do a BMW Meet and Greet here.

    It's kinda sad ... when I had my 300ZX on the road (first gen) I would be conastantly flashing lights at others ... I miss that. It is a warm fuzzy to know that there are others in love with their car as well. There are too many clueless E34 owners ... for instance, at the Chicago meet there was an E34 Touring ... pulled in, circled around and left without stopping waving or anything ... pretty lame owner.

    I hate bumper stickers ... I don't drive a delivery truck nor do I need stickers to hold the car together. I would sugest static cling window stickers or regular window stickers. The Z31 board I was on did this.

    Well, usually I flip the lights. Or I turn on the emergency lights, wave etc. but only few of them react. Usually the ones that react are younger 3series drivers.
    I remember my old days of owning Subaru Impreza. The other drivers seemed way more enthusiastic. One time I got passed on the double yellow line, going 40mph. The other driver sticked himself out from the sun roof yelling SUBARU ROCKS.
