I thought the sunshade fit under the rear parcel shelf.

[e30edward]

nah it just clips on top of it.
i wasn't sure how it mounted before i bought it
but it came w/ mounting instructions, and it only took
like 15 mins to put in.

aww man thats not cool. BTW I just check the price on Tisher BMW and it came out to $160. I remember that was the going rate. You must've gotten a hookup or something!

That's what I thought, also. I bought one off ebay.de and it came with the shelf, and the sunshade fits inside it.

Hi,
would you be able to scan the instructions and e-mail me, pretty pls? Or if you can tell me where the mounting holes are, above the rear windshield, for the brackets? TIA!

EDIT:

[///M42 sport]

anyone ever hear of a expansion gas tank? I know the alpina e30s had them.

[Maluco]

My car has that cup holder and I'm 99% sure its OEM.

A lot of people did make a replica of that cupholder though.

Why would BMW design a cupholder that allows for a drink's condensation to leak onto the console...

[Bimmerista]

Condensation wasn't around in the 80s :D

long range tank in the boot? Almost standard on south African assembled e30s

Mine does.

[mikeedler]

all M3s came with the long range tank. the expansion piece is on all tanks though, it is a plastic thing right by the filler tube in the wheel well.
