    Driveshaft. I've seen people say "eh, all E30's clunk a bit", and others talking about how much of a sweet fix it is.

    Maybe I'm confusing "overlooked" with "time consuming and expensive".

                    side moldings...too often do you see an e30 all restored: new paint job, new window weather stripping, shadow line trim, euro bumper trim, euro grills, plate filler, and the moldings on the doors don't match the moldings on the rear quarter panels because the ones on the rear quarters are all cracked and old.

                      I always use a custom made rod to hold my hood open when I under the hood because it's in my way. Only takes hitting your head a couple times to say screw it. And I never have my hood open for the heck of it or to show off my M42 so I bought a new shock for it but have the linkage disconnected.

                      And I second subframe bushings. My rear camber is off because mine are so bad. I'll get around to it though...

                        Exhaust hangers.

                        How many times have we seen people holding that thing up with coat hangers?

                          Edit: Looked it up on real OEM. Looks like a rubber bushing for the arm pivots?
