So who was at Pacific BMW's accessory fest last Saturday?

I don't know if it was or not. Replacing the dash is tedious but definately a DIY job. I just did the one in my convertible. I just picked up a good dash for $100 and changed it myself.

Hmmm...that new dash does seem to be "rubbery" in texture. I kept looking at the pics and then realized "what about the glove box and center console?". They'll probably not match up unless I get them to. Damn it man the project/s ensues...lol. Thanks for the link.

I do have an extra dash somewhere in storage also, so that I can still play with. I'll hit you up when I get something done with it.

So the dash was a dealership install? Installed at Pacific BMW perhaps? I'm gonna contact my dealership down here and look into it. Thanks for any further info.

Any pics of said dash, Barry? Factory??? It sounds very interesting and might just be what I'm looking for. TIA.

Unfortunately I don't. I'm sure there are new dash pics somewhere online.

.. he had a new interior and new factory dash installed. ..

Anyway that new dash ($800) has the same rubber-like texture as the dashes in the current BMW's and looked VERY nice. The owner claimed that's how ours looked from the factory back in the 80's but I don't think so. I was around a lot of E30's in the 80's and never seen a dash like this one. It looks like this new style will probably never crack compared to our old vinyl/foam dashes. If only it weren't so damn expensive = /.

i was supposed to go down this weekend but i had to get my e30 fixed. My friends were there though. They had the LTBMW and Linea Corse booth

Barry, I wanted to go just to rep the E30's but couldn't make it!

The white car is my buddy's 318iS M50.

I went but only saw a few E30's. Saw the white one with the DOHC Vanos sticker on the side driving around and a Sterling 318iS. There was a clean black/black 325iS with some type of BBS wheels parked in the corner of the show that was really clean. I was looking at that car more than the E90's and other baller cars that were there. I caught up with the owner as he was leaving and he had a new interior and new factory dash installed. Was wondering if he was on R3v.
