Just got my e30 yesterday n wow i had some bad luck with it, the guy told me a bunch of crap which lead to my car overheating n a waterpump breaking. I have some issues with the car that I want to know whats wrong with it.

issues:
-Power door/mirror doesnt work what can it be?
-the manual sunroof doesnt work, i crank it but its not grabbing
-where can i get a Temp sensor at?
-My anti-lock light is on where can i get his checked out?
-MY obc keeps acting wiered it doesnt work but it flashes random numbers
-My speedometer works once in a while it would just randomly stop working.
-My cig lighter doesnt work
-

Thanks n just lmk im loving the car its way better then my old 240sx

you can take the sunroof crank apart easily, just look at it. temp sensor or any parts are easiest to get at the dealer unless you wanna wait and pay shipping, then go pelicanparts or bavauto .com. OBC just press hard on the whole keypad/screen/the whole obc and it should go back to normal.

I like looking for parts like your temp sensor (non-wear parts) in the junkyards. Do a google search on BMW or import car salvage / auto recycling yards in your area.

Check the speedometer connection on the back of the differential. Sometimes the plug can be loose or wires can be broken.

It would be nice if the lighter and mirror fuses was broken, but im not usually that lucky. You can check this under the hood of the car so they would be easy to replace. Another option is take apart the center console (not too hard) and check that the power/ground connections are properly attached to the lighter.

my cig lighter had too become disconnected, I dont smoke, but needed it for my charger for cell etc

Yeah men it sucks having no AC because nothing blows when i turn it on, also only 1 window goes down. lol n i got lost to a date the first day i picked up the car because the GPS had died on me. Boy was she mad i had a girl wait 2 hours for me...lol but then i bought her a 100 dollar purse so she forgot all about it.

So your lack of cigarette lighter power cost you $100 bucks, shitty! haha

The anti-lock light is probably just a blown fuse in the ABS relay from someone jump-starting the car improperly. Don't do anything until you check that out first.

also what brand of oil should i buy n how thick should it be

[metalix1021]

For Florida? I believe that climate calls for 20w50.

Which model do you have?

[ThaiRacer]

The inline 6 325e wow i was gonna order the 0w40 off of bavauto.

[metalix1021]

Definitely to light of a weight for your climate. Try 20w50.
