VIN Decoding - Post VIN for production info

All the airbag cars have that (mine included), but there was never a passenger airbag in the E30 chassis. It's just a general warning about the driver's airbag that for some reason is placed there in the glove box. The "lump" it is on is the shroud that covers the computer.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I wouldn't mind taking the whole system out, but I'm sure the safety inspectors wouldn't be terribly amused when re-registration time comes around.

Thanks for your help.

I'll get one later. There's a big label on a lump in the top of the glove box with an orange label that says "attention: air bag" and a picture of a guy getting punched in the face with a balloon.

I don't think any E30 was ever made with a passenger side airbag, do you have a picture of what is on you passenger side?

CorvallisBMW, 87Blue325iC, thanks for the info. I'm still scratching my head on the passenger-side airbag.

Hello,

thank you for this service, Aaron. I just bought this E30 beauty and I am really wondering what the faded blue originally was.

Does anyone know what these items are?

Also, I'm trying to figure out why my VIN says I only have a driver-side airbag. There is a big doohickey with an airbag label in the top of my glove box, too.

Sounds like someone dumped some extra money when they ordered the car.

Thanks so much!

So, an LSD is listed as one of my factory options. It's also listed on a few other 325e listings here. I thoughts 325e's came with 2.93 open diffs, and only eS came with an LSD...?
