Sending unit

Will an e36 fuel gage sending unit fit my e30 325i??

No e30 has the clutch start interlock keeping you from starting it until you depress the clutch; it wasn't introduced until the e36.[/QUOTE]

I am 100% sure that I can start my '91 IX without depressing the clutch...

it's for engine braking control.

if you lift the throttle without putting in the clutch on an icy surface and the wheels slip, the mercury switch on the driver's side will stay open (open = you're not slowing down) and it will open the ICV (by sending an on/off signal to the DME on C101 pin 19), which should reduce engine braking and stop you from slipping.

Basically, it's a really crude, early version of ASC/DSC.

What does depressing the clutch while the ABS is active do?

One is for the abs, the other is for cruise control.

Easily deciphered by looking at the ETM. ;)

Yeah the one on the bottom is cruise control, top is abs

upgrading the rear sway bar to 16mm? I found a eibach rear bar on another e30 at the yard. And I figured it wouldn't hurt it. But I also don't want the car to feel too neutral.

Can we just ask questions or does an answer actually need provided?

Just ask questions if you have one; I didn't want to make a useless thread but was curious if anyone knew this.

I think one is for the ECU and one for cruise control? I only have one, but i dont have cruise control..

That might make sense. Maybe it's some sort of signal sent to the ecu and it effects the "traction abs system"

Mine has a switch but it will still start without the clutch pressed in

Why the heck does the iX have two clutch switches?
