Lets talk E30-IC

[Ether-D]

That link lead me to a new thread post. But I totally support a vert sub-forum. Good idea rcsoundn1 (who's name I always read as "rap-scoundrel" in my head).

[mlbryant8]

I'm on my second vert and learned a few things just on this thread. I definitely support a vert section!

[mr2peak]

If you support an IC section please post here:

Thanks!

Edit: Link fixed

[Mr. Burns]

count me in too!
I'm in the midst of a M30 swap on my blessed vert in the M30Swap section.

great idea folks:)

[rcsoundn1]

I don't even have a vert but support them getting their own section. If I get a second e30, it will be a vert (unless it's an M3)

Yea at times I do really wish I had a coupe. Might be my next ride.

[13Stripes]

I definitely agree and support this! Especially a Parts section or Interior section, as others have mentioned.

Something that would be awesome is a way to date your convertible top. For instance mine is an OEM BMW top but is not the original since it has a zip in window and micro switches for the late model electric top. It would be nice to be able to date how old the top is or roughly when it would have been installed, since there were revisions through the years.

Also it's worth mentioning that the reason I bought bmw was it was the only old (emissions exempt) 4 seater convertible car with a decent reputation. I mean I could have gone pontiac sunbeam but... cmon

^ My early 1987 has the higher arches. But it looks like the body changes happened in late '90. Anyone have a picture of the coupe door cards in a convertible fitment?

All verts got the low rear arches.

Awesome thanks for the support guys. Really hoping for our own tech section.

[Das Delfin]

Yup, I'd estimate really late 90' (for late model tails, plastic bumpers). I'll try to get my friend to post pics of the gap on the door panel. Also the whole 87' higher arch thing was only for coupes, all verts had lower arches

That just shattered everything I thought I knew about tire fitment

[Semblance]

Yeah, there's enough vert-specific stuff for its own thread, I'd say. I'm in.

But what about the lower rear wheel arches???).

-They all had lower rear arches


Stuff like where to get a vert carpet, how to modify coupe seats to fit in a vert, seeing pictures of coupe door cards installed in a vert (does it work or doesn't it?)

-Seats should work with no issues, besides the rear seats of course. Door panels would have a small gap where the coupe "B pillar" on the door is. Fits however but just will have a gap.
