          euro 316i HVAC panels. Removes the OBC and centers the radio, pretty cool.

            And it still does not look right, I am guessing?

              Yeah, I think the E30 dash is a shithole cosmetically no matter what you do, so I am biased.

              Nice is nice, but BMW has always sucked balls on dashboard looks. Cosmetic design-wise, a 1979 Accord kicks its ass, IMO, as does damn near anything this side of 1995 or before 1975 from America, or 95% of Jap crap in the last 15 years.

              PPO here, YMMV.

                Yea really, it's got almost as much plastic as my friend's Geo Metro.

                I even think the dash on the Caddy could be better, and that's x1,000,000 better than the e30's dash.

                  I dont think the dash looks that bad. haha though I do like the 70 style dashs over any of the modern day stuff.

                  I also never liked japanese auto interior on any account. It just makes me feel like its build for short asian males.

                  As far as double din... it would look terrible

                    This guy did a pretty good job... I think I might try this far down the road in the future. I've always wanted a carputer. It's not double din, but I prefer a carputer setup to a dbl din.

                        I agree that this:

                        is about the best that can be done. He has very nicely dealt with the stupid downward angel that makes our dash looks "droopy".

                        that car is just sick as hell, too. Guy is an excellent fabricator, great designer...gots skillz, yO!

                          I did a 1 1/2 din. Just moved flasher and rear defogger to center console next to seat heater switches. Preamp sits above radio. Works for me.

                              Nice job moving the heater controls. But I want a flip out screen radio.
