Found some weather stripping that matches up like Evo trim. Cleans it up quite a bit!

That lumbar support is bad ass

My car already had the H4/H1 conversion when I got it... all four lights come on when the high beams are on... great on those dark country roads I travel mostly. :)

My buddy, who was the PO also retrofitted cruise control - my E30 was a pretty bare bones '86 - manual everything. Definitely one of the most useful mods on the car.

I back this. Also seems to help keep it clear of leaves and other debris!

I don't have anything too visible or radical but a couple of nice quality of life hacks I added when I did my m30 swap:

Power distribution:


I was tired of buying those stupid expanding nuts for the blower motor cover so I put in rivet nuts. Also needed them to hold my e34 reservoir more securely:


Hopefully that's in the spirit of this thread, haha

Of course! The idea of this thread is to post anything you have done to your E30 that makes it unique! We all have E30's and love to see things out of the usual!

I have a couple more Unique-ish mods I'll post when I have proper pics... :devil:

I installed air-powered lumbar support on the driver's seat of my car from an e38/e39. was able to fit the pump on the under side of the seat, and made a custom switch mount in the console where the heated seat switches would normally go. I used a modified rear fog switch for the rear cut-out in the switch blank as a kill switch for my Valentine 1 and the power antenna. The lumbar support definitely makes a difference on longer trips!

I'm probably going to have to do this. I love looking at my sport seats until I actually have to sit in them.

I'm not usually a van of vaders in e30s, but they seem to match a convertible with the top down better than the sedans. Especially since you got them and the rears reupholstered at the same time. Looks pretty good.

Vaders in a vert? Didn't know they would fit! Is there a premade bracket or did you have to go custom?

I made my own, but I believe there is a premade one.

But it was a really tight fit I'll tell you that
