I have 2 cabrio ballasts w/ bolts & sheetmetal that I'd gladly sell for 10% of the $608 list price.

What exactly is that "body damper" thing?

And to add to the thread-a 2-year-old ansa exhaust-because there is nothing left but rust.

6-button OBC, why? Just get a clock and your more than halfway there.

Plastic screws that BMW is so fond of, why not use metal screws?

Early 90's airbags. Because they will likely do more harm than good.

Plastic screws are cheaper..

Plastic screws are cheaper..

Exactly the thing I was expecting not to see on a car as overengineered as the E30.

Tell me about it, haha!

an m20b27 is pretty useless... have one sittin on a pallet
stock radio... who has tapes anymore
sealed beam lights
stock non-mtech steering wheel
US grill

I'll agree with pretty much all of those, except my B27 is at least chipped, makes it much more fun. At least until I go 24V or something. And the stock tape deck is good, I have an FM modulated CD changer I control with a remote, keeps people from thinking I have any stereo equipment worth stealing.

I have 2 also. Would work great for boat anchors.
