    Each time you have a new problem on your E30, post here.

    Works sort of like a "SPOTTED" thread, except each time you find a new problem with your E30, just post it here.

    I'll start:

    - My audio system is all messed up, when I turn it up to a level considered "barely audible" the sound starts going off and on, off and on. Really ticked me off on my 40 mile drive back home. Basically had no music the whole drive home. Other symptoms were that sometimes it would just be the bass amp playing, and other times, it would just be the 4-channel amp playing. This is a wierd problem.

            Car is awesome except...

            Battery drains after sitting in garage for more then a week.
            Rear transmission seal leaks, and I just replaced shifter seal last month so I hope it's the bottom one! :(
            Oil leak, haven't done a full investigation but it's somewhere below the intake manifold.

                          you guys are using this thread wrong.

                          You're only supposed to post in this thread when you get a new, fresh, problem.

                          This is not a "list your problems" thread.

                          NEW PROBLEM: Found out my fuel pump o-ring is busted and causing fuel to leak everywhere when I top off teh tank.
