For those who say a 2 door e30 isnt a "coupe"

[bimmer630]

I was browsing Realeom.com looking for the plastic M3 harness covers and I noticed BMW calls our cars coupes.. but everytime somebody on here mentions "coupe" somebody corrects them.

Just thought it was interesting

Normally coupes don't have a B-pillar most BMWs are not coupes because they have A-B and C-pillars

[bimmer630]

I know.. thats why its funny bmw used the phrase coupe

Coupe is just the quick go-to term for a 2-door car. If you're talking specific car-body types, E30s are all sedans.

I'm not particularly interested in this subject.

Yes, the M3 wiring covers are 2 pieces, 21 and 22.

Guten or Blunttech can get them for you for a good price.

I have a buddy in BMW parts and we get a trade discount through my work so those both will probably run me 20 bucks.. but thanks for the offer.

Im still looking for an S50 coil cover though

So the two door is as stiff as four door?

When talking about 20 year old cars, it doesn't matter anymore. The only people who should be concerned already have FIA spec cages and chassis reinforcements for real racing.

#23 isnt needed? I see the markert motorworks page shows it in their kit

[der affe]

You need all 4 pieces shown.

#23 mounts to the firewall
#24 clips into that (you may or may not use it depending on your wiring)
#22 clips into that as a front cover
#21 clips into #23 & #22 and extends to the pass side battery tray. IIRC it also covers the bus block on the firewall.
