These lights are not perfect. Each light has one hairline crack aka patina. The right tail light has it near the middle and the left tail light has it at the bottom left corner. They are not cracked through and do not leak water. The right tail light has had one upper mounting stud failure which has been repaired with high strength epoxy. The left tail light upper mounting studs have been reinforced with high strength epoxy as a precautionary measure.

If you want to buy reproductions or replicas, that's your prerogative. But having the real deal vintage parts is way cooler, and deep down you know it too.

Asking $1025 for R3V members only.

Thanks for looking!

E30 seats are notorious for breaking the bracket that mounts the seat back to the hinge. The factory piece is thin stamped steel with a welded-on nut, and it has two failure points — the 90 degree bend and the welded nut itself. Welding a broken one back together works for a while, but it often re-fails slightly up or downstream of the welds.

These CNC machined billet brackets solve the problem for good. The thread is machined directly into solid billet, so there is no welded nut to crack off and no thin bend to fatigue.

The bracket is completely weldless and mounts through the two existing holes in the hinge — just remove the head of the single factory rivet, push the rivet out, and bolt the new bracket on with the included hardware. No welding, no drilling (other then removing rivet head which can be drilled, chiseled, dremeled, or die grinded).

Fits Sport and Comfort seats from both 2 door and 4 door cars. Each seat uses two brackets, one per hinge — so order a single bracket if only one side is broken, a set of 2 for one seat, or a set of 4 to do both front seats.

Included: CNC billet bracket(s) with mounting hardware.

Some of you may remember the build thread for my E30 project. Life got busy, the project kept evolving, and what I originally thought would be an M62swap ended up being a Tesla EV swap and a five-year obsession. The car is finally finished, sorted, and currently being auctioned on Bring a Trailer, so I thought I’d come back and share it with the community that followed it in the early days. The finished car uses a Tesla Model S Large Drive Unit with Plaid internals, an EV West conversion system, 13 LG Chem JP3 battery modules, EV Controls T-2C controller, Dilithium BMS, dual onboard chargers, NACS charging, custom battery enclosures, and a completely redesigned electrical system. Whether EV conversions are your thing or not, I think many of you will appreciate the engineering, fabrication, and attention to detail that went into the build. I’d genuinely enjoy hearing what fellow E30 enthusiasts think.
