Any E30's Without Power Locks?

[Ben Carufel]

Did any E30's come with manual locks? Or were all of them power?

[SchnellerVert]

Maybe early 316i or 318i US spec?

One of my 318iss has manual locks. There is no double locking feature from the trunk, and there is no power lock on the driver's side door either. I am not sure if this was standard, but this is the way I bought the car.

Interesting. I'd like to go to non-power locks all around on my '89 325is S50.

[Hick]

if you pull the fuse they may jam and could damage the locks and lock mechanisms. just remove the damn things.

Leave power locks in :)

I've been in a E30 (324d) with no power locks. Assuming they work fine, keep them.

There are no brownie points awarded for having an E30 with no power locks.

They aren't currently operating. No reason to leave the actuators in them when they don't do a damn thing.

My 1987 316 is manual...

My 318i has no power locks, no power windows, but it does have power mirrors.

My 84 318 had power locks all around.

Power locks were an option on 318is's. Mine came well equipped from the factory with every option except power locks! Also means there is no locking mechanism on the gas door.
