    My buddy did retrofit cruise control into her though.

    I wish you could still get cars bare bones like that now.
    YOU CAN! and Porsche will charge you more for it.

        Both of my tourings are the same. In fact pretty much all the E30's I've seen here in europe don't have AC.

          I can testify to this. In Denmark an E30 with A/C is pretty rare, whats even more rare, is one with working A/C.

          My black touring has A/C, in a non functioning version.

            Mine was originally 316i and it doesn't have those buttons. I swore when I do engine swap I'd do the A/C as well, but ended up putting an m20 without A/C from a racecar.

                All e30's delivered new in the United states came with A/C. It was an option in Canada and the rest of the world but BMW/NA only imported cars with A/C.

                  Resurrecting a dead thread! So for cars that didn't have A/C, was there just a blank where the button is? I've deleted my A/C and was wondering what it was like.

                  edit: after doing some searches, apparently so.
