Also any pics of the way you ran the lines or just dropped the tank and put them on top.

I didn't take any pics when the tank was down....wish I had. It was a frustrating day of going backwards so the only pic I managed was after the tank was back up. Didn't have the fuel filter in yet in this pic.

I was able to fit the large Mishimoto fan in front of the condenser and two small fans on the back side of the radiator[ATTACH]111156[/ATTACH][ATTACH]111157[/ATTACH][ATTACH]111158[/ATTACH]

The front fan against the condenser is the 16"(mm fan-16) 1850cfm. The two small fans mounted to the radiator are 8"(mm fan-8) 600cfm each.

Did you have to get a certain year for the non airbag column? Any fabrication to the non air bag column to make it fit?

I made the airbag column work. I'm not sure what it takes to swap a non airbag column. Maybe someone can chime in or else search for a thread with info on a swap.

There are differences between the firewall plate on the early and later cars. Look for a column from an 87-89.

Thank you for that, but what about an 89 column from a 325ix? Guy selling his on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E30-325i...1XOkER&vxp=mtr
