e9X

In car culture, e9X or e9x is a collective for the chassis codes of the BMW 3-Series produced from 2006 through 2011, being:

e90: a four-door sedan
e91: a five-door station wagon
e92: a two-door coupe
e93: a two-door hardtop convertible

e9X is used to refer to these vehicles collectively by car enthusiasts because those vehicles are very similar mechanically and share many parts
BMW's e9X platform is popular for being available in many body styles, and are cheap to buy used.

cop magnet

A vehicle that gets pulled over or ticked frequently, either because it's clapped out or modded to the point where a cop might question if the vehicle is still street legal or roadworthy
John: Dude Chad just bought a 3rd gen Cummins from Sarahs mom.
Anyone with more than half a brain cell: What a fucking idiot that things such a cop magnet

burble tune

A modification done to a vehicle, which intentionally causes the vehicle to backfire (unburnt fuel entering the exhaust). Unlike other forms of automotive tuning, a burble tune offers no gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency, and is in fact more likely to cause catastrophic engine damage and accelerate wear and tear.

Often done by teenage poser car guys who are too broke to afford mods that would actually increase the performance of their vehicle.

While a proper, high-performance tune may cause a car to backfire more than stock due to running more fuel and boost, a burble tune is specifically done only for the bops and bangs caused by a backfiring.

Person 1: look at that POS GTI! It's backfiring like crazy, must not be running right
Person 2: nah, it's running fine, asshole just has a burble tune
Person 3: running fine? with a burble tune? Not for long...

Hybrid Turbo

Short for hybrid turbocharger, a hybrid turbo functions similarly to a conventional tubrocharger, but features a small electric motor on the shaft to reduce tubro lag. While this may not work as well as systems like anti-lag or two-step, it is generally cheaper and more reliable. It's also less of a cop magnet, as a hybrid turbo doesn't produce backfire as often. The term has nothing to do with a hybrid vehicle

Unfortunately, hybrid turbos are hard to find, and generally don't come in a kit
Mechanic 1) I'm gonna turbo my car!
Mechanic 2) Nice, you thinking anti-lag or...?
Mechanic 1) Nah, I'm throwing on a hybrid turbo.
Mechanic 2), Pfft, good like finding one bud!

pop-up headlights

Pop up headlights, also known as a retractable headlight or simply "pop-ups", are a mechanism pulls down the headlight assembly so it is hidden and flush with the lines of the car. This aids in aerodynamics and asethics. When the headlights are turned on, they flip up or "pop up" out the hood/bumper, allowing the bulbs to illuminate the road.

This was a common feature on many import cars such as the Miata and Mk3 Supra and even exotics like 80s Ferraris. However, they were banned from new car designs in the early 2000s for pedestrian safety issues, such as like lack of DRL and also to meet newer fuel economy standards (poor aerodynamics). These could also break, causing more safety issues.
Person 1: Why doesn't that car have headlights?
Person 2: Dude that's a Mk3 Supra, it has pop-up headlights

Ricer

To take a motor vehicle, usually a Japanese import such as a Honda Civic and give it the ugliest fucking body kit ever. Examples include:

A spoiler taller than a semi truck
A muffler or "fart can" with a bigger diameter than a rocket engine
Fake eBay rims
Slammed suspension
Extreme camber
An obnoxiously loud sound system
A vehicle wrap/paint job that costs more than the car did originally

If any "performance" mods are done, these are only limited to an eBay cold air intake or an eBay turbo, usually bought for under $500. The demographics of ricers are usually aged 16 - 20, the age in which many first get their license. People often rice their car to give them the impression that their car is fast, or they are just retarded and unironically think it looks good.
Person 1: Look at that fucking honda dude

Person 2: God damn ricer

Person 1: Bruh I'm horny I want to fuck my cousin.
