    Congratulatios!

    When I first bought my E30 I honestly thought that all I had to do was fix the AC. Turns out that the least I have been able to fix is the AC!! I have had to fix:
    Transmission
    Cooling system: Radiator, water pump, hoses, Temp Sensor
    Alternator, Battery, Timing belt, motor mounts, transmission mount, sway bar links and bushings, AFM, ICV, Speed sensor (at the diff), Muffler, Head Gasket Job, several trips on tow truck...

    Perhaps soon I'll be able to fix my AC and have nice cool air like you do now my friend!

    PD: Why would you need an AC in the North Pole? Sorry, couldn't resist.:D

                  Yeah creature comforts are nice. My E30's AC never worked, and I did a swap, so I just ripped it out. That said, after tracking the E46 and driving the 2 hours home with climate control I almost feel like reinstalling it.

                  The E30 has a certain quality though... it's really enjoyable to cruise with the windows down and enjoy the weather. More so than most other cars I've driven, including the E46. I can't remember the last time I drove the E30 with the windows up actually.

                          This was me, plus broken window regulators! YAY for 115 degree days in Texas! Never been so miserable in my life. AC was fixed before anything else on my E30.

                          In case for those who haven't seen the thread before:

                              The S50 has decided it's going to start burning coolant. So a headgasket swap is in order.
