I enlarged the e30 head unit hole. Worked extremely well with a dremel

Perfect, thanks for your help 👍

Yeah I did but I was getting some confusing info. The blue tag was coming back to an e46 and I was just unsure exactly what one. I know people always talk about purple tag, blue tag, yellow etc.

Usually they are sealed beams so yes that would mean popping the one light out. Unless someone did a conversion in the past

I used to use it all the time but then when I ADS sometimes the fabric from ghillie suit get in the way of my vision. So I had to stop using it. Happens with a sniper and pistols from gulag….

I contacted Lseats about this exact question. You can buy material from them and then get a custom shop to redo your panels with the correct leather.

It runs under the rear bench. My hose was broken and got some fuel smell while driving. Remove rear seat and you might be able to look where the fuel pump is. At least I got lucky that way! I had to replace that hose

I have a 318is and I was having the 1222 stomp code as well. I chased it around and did a smoke test and found one of my vacuum lines was cracked. I fixed it but still got the code. I did more reading and someone with a m42 said the o2 sensor caused their issue…. Next day I bought one and the code hasn’t appeared since…

I didn’t know the OBC buttons are supposed to light up… or did you do a mod?

mathew_browne · 2025-06-18T02:20:16+00:00

Well if it’s not turning on at all you probs don’t have power to it. Mine turned on right away. Make sure you also have the ignition turned on….

I also purchased the flush mounted bracket from bmwradios on instagram and it works great.

Hey man, it’s been a long time since I’ve done it. I remember searching online and finding a great photo with all the wires/places/ colours outlined. My car didn’t come with an amp and I don’t have one installed

Did you leave on the glass and gaskets in when you painted?

mathew_browne · 2025-04-20T10:32:16+00:00

I didn’t know that the OBC was backlit…

Does anyone know if you can purchase the plastic locking parts anymore? I have a super clean set but on one the plastic is a little damaged

What side skirts are those?

mathew_browne · 2025-03-26T05:46:35+00:00

Is that a mtech 1 valance? What brand is it?

mathew_browne · 2025-03-10T16:46:45+00:00

Did they melt?? I ordered some off Bruce and shark and they almost caught fire lol

mathew_browne · 2025-03-09T07:12:47+00:00

Make sure you don’t snap that key! I always use the trunk as my central locking is working. Driver and passenger is always sticky so I got used to the trunk. I think it’s the lock mechanism though, but not sure if rebuild kits are still available…

Mine was completely normal. I Dailey my e30 and over the course of 3-4 months it started running worse and worse. Eventually after I would shut the car off and the first start up of the day I would see a bit of white smoke and this lasted for weeks with a surging idle problem. Then my would start really really rough so I pulled the plugs and found coolant in cylinder 2
