Glazing


I recently wrote about the side glass, but I stopped at the fact that I removed the tint and washed it.
Seals and shadow line overlays are already installed, so now you can install glass in the door.
I did find two more green SOLIVER G glasses with Belgium code E6 - now all the glass in the door is from the same manufacturer, with the same stamp, as it should be.
Took the glass to be polished.


Well, what can I say - a miracle did not happen! :) A few deep scratches still remained, but the overall effect is there - the glass became smoother and transparent, without small scratches and scuffs. To remove deep scratches, you don't need polishing, but grinding. This is a more time-consuming process, and its cost is close to the cost of new glass. So I decided that a simple polish would be enough for me ;)
The factory green tint of the glass is clearly visible on the white.








The front glass is installed very simply. We bring it vertically inside the door, turn and insert the front bracket, its groove on the roller of the window regulator.


With a special key from a set of tools, we expose the glass so that through the hole in the door there is access to the two bolts on the back bracket of the glass. Align the glass and tighten the bolts.


We try to raise and lower the glass, if necessary, loosen the bolts securing the window regulator and the glass. We adjust and align the glass along the guides, then tighten all the bolts.
Now you can install the external, internal seal and decorative strip. The slats are now also a shadow line, as they should be.


The front glass is installed. Everything is similar on the left.


Let's move on to the rear door - here everything turned out to be more complicated... In order to install the rear glass, it was necessary to completely remove the window lifter, vertical glass support, seals and blind glass. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have put it all :)
After that, we insert the glass inside the door and lower it to the very bottom.


Then we install the blind glass with its seal - just tightly into the groove of the door frame. We insert the vertical rack from above into the hole on the door frame, press the blind glass and fasten the rack at the bottom with two bolts. Insert the seals.


Now we lift the glass up along the guides of the seal. If it does not hold, then we prop it up with something. We install the window lifter - very carefully so as not to scratch the glass. We insert the front bracket on the roller of the window regulator, and fasten the rear bracket with bolts - in the same way as the front glass. Adjustment is also similar to the front one. After that, we install the external seal.


Then an internal seal with a decorative strip. As practice has shown, I also put the clips of the internal seal in vain. It is much more convenient to first use these clips to connect the internal seal with the decorative bar, and then put them together with the clips on the edge of the door.


The rear glass is installed. Everything is similar on the left.






SOLIVER G with Belgium code E6




So, the doors are practically assembled, except for the inner linings - finally I can adjust them according to the locks and set the clearances on the body.

P.S.
Looking ahead, I will say that the electric drives of the window regulators worked very hard after connecting them, they even jammed when raising the glass. The problem was in the lubricant. Special teflon lubricant for window regulators in an aerosol can turned out to be real shit! It dried up in a few weeks, almost like water, and the cables were essentially dry. Lubricated all four window regulators with ordinary universal automotive grease - and they began to work normally.

Collection_61. ETK_41_Body. South door handle/locking mechanism/key (ch, 2)

The locks are ready, you can install them. We continue the same section
Ручка двери Пд/запорный механим/ключ





I already wrote about handles earlier, now about locks.
Part Private Messages - standard lock assembly with key, left (51 21 1 911 065) and right (51 21 1 911 065). But, as I wrote in the previous entry, if necessary, you can easily change the left lock to the right one and vice versa.
Part Albums - a lock for cars with a central lock assembly with a key, left (51 21 1 924 903).
Part #10 - standard lock, left (51 21 1 911 063) and right (51 21 1 911 064).
Part #11 - lock for cars with a central lock, left (51 21 1 924 901).
Item No. 12 - the main key with illumination, and the second main key without illumination. ETK has many numbers depending on the type of key or its blank. My illuminated key is already very worn out.


But the backlight works in it


I wanted to replace the workpiece in it, but judging by its design, it will not be possible to do this. So you will have to order a new one later.


So far, he has reworked all the locks for the second main key, which has remained in good condition.


There should be a total of 4 keys in the kit:
1 - main key with illumination No. 12.
2 - main key without backlight No. 12.
3 - compact main key No. 13. This is a blank without a plastic cover. After installing the illuminated container No. 26 on it, we get the first main illuminated key.
4 - service key, or key for valet parking. Only suitable for driver's door and ignition switch. The trunk and box for small things does not open.
It will be necessary to collect this whole set later.

Part No. 14 - key head with illumination (32 32 9 056 354), is no longer available for ordering.
Part No. 15 - backlight lamp 0.13W (51 21 1 935 001)
Part No. 16 - backlight button (32 32 1 151 013)
Item Photoshop & Media - leather key case (51 21 8 213 607). But this number comes with a case of a newer design.

Now the details of fastening the locks.
Part No. 17 - plastic decorative cover of the lock (51 21 1 865 246) - 2 pcs.
Part Regional Forums - passenger lock bracket for cars with a central lock (51 21 1 913 968).
Part No. 19 - locking bracket for cars with a central lock (51 21 1 913 969).
Part No. 20 - locking bracket of the lock (51 21 1 838 035). But visually and structurally E34/E28 Forums and General Discussion are identical.
Part Members Rides and Engine & Drivetrain - spacer washer (51 21 1 889 459 and 51 21 1 916 536). Most likely, it is used instead of Regional Forums and Off Topic Lounge on cars without a central lock.
Part No. 22 - rubber gasket (51 21 1 889 499) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 23 - driver's lock bracket for cars with a central lock (51 21 1 902 291)
Part No. 27 - a repair kit for the standard lock cylinder (51 21 9 556 313) and for the central lock (51 21 9 061 343). This is a complete set of lock parts in disassembled form. I already wrote about them in a previous post on repairing my locks.

I have standard central locking in my car, so the installation involves limit switches for the key. I mentioned them earlier in the section on the central castle.
I start with the passenger's right lock.


The lock and switch are placed on the bracket and fixed with staples. Two plastic clips are used to fix the wiring.




When the key is turned, the lever closes the contact


Now the driver's left lock.


In my case, instead of the standard E34/E28 Forums staple, a staple with lock heating is used. This is an additional option, I will write about it separately.


Switch mounting


The wiring is fixed with a special clip


When the key is turned, the lever closes the contact


In the previous photo, you can see the place for attaching another switch. I tried it on there - it becomes normal, but the lock does not reach it.


I wonder what it's made for...? Maybe there were some other locks with some options? If anyone knows, please share the information.

By the way, there is another important nuance related to additional options. Namely, with standard alarm system. It provides an additional third wire in the limit switch for the key. Accordingly, on the door wiring, its connector has three contacts, not two.


I don't have a 3-pin switch yet, so I made a temporary 3-to-2-pin adapter.




The alarm system will not "see" the turn of the key yet. By the way, I will buy a switch for 3 contacts (61 31 1 375 138).


And finally, we install the right lock. In theory, everything is very simple, but it is not very convenient to do it, so it took a lot of time. By the way, the switch had to be removed because it interfered with installing the fixing plate. So, we insert the lock into the door opening, put the bracket from the inside, and insert the locking clip into the special groove. The bracket is inserted in the direction from front to back. It goes in very tightly, we press the bracket with the lock to the door with it.


We install the switch, again, it is very inconvenient to do this.


We fix the wiring with plastic clips on the bracket and on the plastic body of the door lock mechanism.


We connect the connector to the door wiring and fix it in a special holder on the door.


And another clip on the door


Place of installation of the holder and clip


The right lock is installed.


I wrote about the left lock in the previous post - I will need to order a new one, since both of my left ones are broken and do not work. I haven't installed it yet. The installation principle is similar, but instead of a standard fixing bracket, a bracket with a heating element is used. I will write about this later.

Repair of locks with one key

It was time to install the door locks. After buying the car, I was given two keys - one for the ignition and one for the left door and trunk - and neither of them fit the right door and the glove box. :) Since a universal alarm system with remote control of the standard central lock was installed, I was, in principle, satisfied with everything. Now, without an alarm, there was a need to use locks, so I decided to redo all the locks with one key. Then I found another key in the door pocket, but forgot about it. Now I remembered, and it turned out that it has no signs of wear and fits the ignition switch and the trunk - apparently it is the "second" key from the factory set. My backlit master key is very worn. So I decided to make all the locks under that "second" key. Another important point that influenced such a choice - the ignition lock is not disassembled, and without "barbaric" methods of cutting or drilling, it will not be possible to disassemble it. Also, it is logical to take the ignition lock and its key as a basis, and rework the rest of the locks. But if the car has a tank cap with a lock, then it may be more logical to take the tank cap lock as a basis - because the cap is not collapsible at all. I have a central lock, accordingly - a cover without a lock.
So, I couldn't disassemble my right door lock - it was rotten to death, so I bought a donor lock and started with it. Although, you can buy an original repair kit (51 21 9 556 313) - in fact, this is the whole new lock in disassembled form. But the price is not small.
With the help of simple tools, we disassemble the lock.


We knock out the thin pin on the back end, and remove the lever with the spring and pull the core out of the case. It is better to do this with the key inserted. Then we take out the key. Next, we take out the plates and then take out the springs.


You need to be especially careful with the springs - they are very tiny and easily lost.


All details of a standard lock:


Now about the main principle of this operation. Without a key, the core of the lock looks like this - the plates stick out from the core and do not allow it to be turned with the key:


When the key is inserted into the lock, the plates are hidden inside the core and the key can turn it. But, if the key does not fit, then part of the plates still stick out and prevent the key from being turned.


So, our goal is to select the plates so that they all hide in the core.
I start with the driver's door lock. For the central lock, it differs from the usual lock - on the back end, it has an additional mechanism for controlling the central lock. But it is disassembled according to the same principle - we knock out the pin:




We remember the location of the springs and disassemble:


The photo below shows a broken lever, but the lock seemed to work anyway...

The plates in the locks are of the same type, but of different shapes and have corresponding numbers.


The core for the central lock has not four, but six pairs of plates. The last two pairs are responsible for controlling the central lock.


All parts are thoroughly washed, and we begin to pick up one plate at a time so that they do not protrude above the core when the key is inserted. Painstaking, monotonous work... In extreme cases, you can saw off the protruding plate, but already on the second lock I learned their shape and numbers, and easily picked everything up without any sawing. The main thing is to have a supply of donor plates. Final result with key inserted:


Keyless:


Lubricate everything and assemble the lock. And it does not work normally, because of a broken lever! :)
I bought another lock.


But a similar crack appeared in it...


I took it apart out of curiosity.


The lever is broken exactly the same as on my lock.




It turns out that this is a "sore" of such old locks for the central lock, and they are almost all broken in this place.
Just in case, he remade the lock under his own key - almost like a professional! :)
By the way, two pairs of plates for the central lock protrude from the case.


The lock works, but after locking the key does not come out. To do this, you need to manually unclip the lever. It will not be possible to do this by car.


Therefore, you will have to order a new lock or a repair kit (51 21 9 061 343).

Now the passenger door lock. I have two of them, so I redid both. By the way, if the car does not have a central lock, you can easily make a left lock from the right lock - just move the lever 180 degrees.






Done:




Likewise the second.


As a result, I have:
- remains of two donors
- two non-working left locks for the central lock with your own key.
- right and left standard locks with your own key.


The lock of the box for small things remains. This is the easiest lock to change to your own key.


We unscrew the handle with the lock


We remove the retaining ring from the core




We pull out the core


And according to the same principle, we disassemble, clean and recycle to our own specifications.


Already almost with closed eyes! )) Done.


Lubricate, put the core, fix the retaining ring.

There is no need to redo the ignition lock and trunk lock - therefore, now all locks are made with one key. Although, then the driver's license will be new.
Next, about their installation.

Collection_69. ETK_17_Cooling system. Engine lubrication system cooling.

After installing the sound signals, I remembered the oil radiator - it has been lying ready for installation for a long time, so I decided to install it as well. So let's start a new chapter:
Cooling system

First subdivision:
Engine oil cooling




For the 325i model, the oil cooler was installed in the basic configuration.
Part No. 1 - oil radiator (17 21 1 712 658), for pre-restyling models. Although the number is actually different:


Part Forum - supply pipeline (17 21 1 707 863)
Part No. 3 - return pipeline (17 21 1 707 864)
Part No. 4 - self-tapping screw ST6,3X16-C-ZN (07 11 9 916 822) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 5 - washer A6,4-200HV-ZNS3 (07 11 9 903 791) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 6 - sheet nut ST6,3-1-ZN (07 12 9 925 742) - 2 pcs.
Parts No. 7...10 - are used on restyling models, to attach the corresponding radiator - it has special brackets for dampers. It is not used on pre-restyling models, as the radiator is rigidly attached to the body. Photo from the Internet:


Part No. 11 - bracket (17 21 1 709 491) - 1 pc.
Part No. 12 - washer A6,4-200HV-ZNS3 (07 11 9 903 791) - 1 pc.
Part No. 13 - self-tapping screw ST6,3X50-C (07 11 9 916 842) - 1 pc.
Part No. 14 - oil pipe bracket (17 21 1 709 492) - 2 pcs.


Part No. 15 - ring of round section 13.4X1.78 (17 22 2 245 358) - 4 pcs.


Part No. 16 - oil pipe bracket (17 21 1 712 759) - 2 pcs. It is used as a substitute for Other Forums
Part No. 17 - sleeve (61 13 1 362 361) - 1 pc. Used together with General Forums

I washed the radiator very well, leveled all its ribs, cleaned and painted it. I did not unscrew the hoses from it, so new rubber rings will need to be installed only on the side of the motor.


We install three insert plates in special holes.


We fasten the radiator with two self-tapping screws, and on the right we press the #11 bracket through the E30 Classified Forums pipelines.


The radiator is installed.




The hoses are still hanging. After installing the motor, it remains to screw them to the oil filter.


P.S.
It seems to me that when installing the radiator of the air conditioner, you will have to remove the oil radiator, because it will interfere - let's see... It's good that it's simple and quick.
There will be other sections on cooling already after the motor is installed... probably it won't be soon...

Collection_68. ETK_61_General electrical equipment of the car. Beep.

I have already done a lot on electricity, but somehow there is no time to write about it all. So I will start little by little and return to the section:
General electrical equipment of the car

Next subsection:
Horn




In ETK, there is another inaccuracy - for some reason, only one sound signal is indicated for the 325i, but in fact there are two of them. One sound signal was installed only on the "younger" models 316 and 318 - in the center in front of the radiator. On the "older" model, two sound signals were installed - high and low tone. There were many types of them, different manufacturers, so I will not indicate the numbers.

Part Home - Hella low-pitched horn (335Hz), complete with three damper plates and their mounting.


Detail Blogs - bracket
Part Groups - bolt M6x12 - for attaching bracket Blogs to the damper plates.
Part No. 5 - bolt M8x16 - for fastening the sound signal.
Part No. 7 - an M8 nut - I don't understand what it is for - bolt No. 5 is screwed into the thread of the bracket. Maybe it's for some other bracket, or for restyling - I didn't find it useful.
Part Forum - Hella high-pitched sound signal (500Hz), assembled with a bracket and its fastening.


Part No. 6 - a bolt with an M8x16 washer - for fastening the sound signal.

Sound signals are ready for installation.


Previously, my sound signals were installed incorrectly at all - one to the left of the radiator, and the other behind the right headlight. So, now I will install them in their places.
A low-pitched horn (335Hz) is installed to the left behind the fog lamp. Looking ahead, I already have the sound signal of the standard alarm installed there. Maybe because my car was a 316, there is a hole in the body for attaching only one sound signal - in the middle in front of the radiator. And I did not find such holes on the sides. Therefore, I just screwed it into the free hole and connected the wiring. The wire was fixed with a clip together with the wire of the external temperature sensor.


From the side of the wheel, it will then be closed with a plastic shield.


A high-pitched horn (500Hz) is installed to the right behind the fog lamp. For the same reason, I did not find a threaded hole, the M8 bolt did not come in handy. Therefore, I screwed an M6 bolt with a nut, simply into a free hole and connected the wiring.




From the side of the wheel, it will then be closed with a plastic shield.


Now I can buzz! )

Collection_67. ETK_71_Spare parts+accessories (engine+chassis). Toolbox

Next subsection:
Tool box small


In ETK, for some reason, the small box is not available for the 325i model and for diesel cars, although in fact, in most cases, they were equipped with it from the factory. And a large box was an additional option. Probably another mistake... The presence of a spark plug key for a diesel engine is also surprising :) And in general, there is some confusion with the numbers - all the box numbers listed in ETK, I have never actually met, at the same time, all the numbers that I have available, not in ETK. Although this can be explained by the fact that in ETK the number of the box itself is not given, but the number of the kit, together with its fastening.
So, I have amassed quite a few of these boxes, including a rather rare large E30 box.


Inside, they have some differences.


Large - (71 11 1 120 002) - (in ETK 71 11 1 119 997) - used for E30, as an additional option. Also on E23 and E28.
The first - (71 11 1 128 911) - (in ETK 71 11 1 128 913) - was used for machines with motors M10, M20, M42, S14. Also on E23 and E28.
The second - (71 11 1 179 926) - (in ETK 71 11 1 179 925) - was used for cars with M40, M42, S14 engines.
The difference between them is only in the size of the niche for the candle key - in the first it is wider for a 21mm key, and in the second it is narrower for a 16mm key.
The third and fourth are the same - (71 11 1 152 080) - (in ETK 71 11 1 152 079) - earlier, used for cars with M10, M20, M42, S14 engines. Also on E23 and E28.
It differs from the first in the location of the candle key and pin - on the contrary, and the location of the key for emergency opening of the power windows - at the bottom right, instead of in the center. Also different manufacturers - ELBATAINER and SAFIPLAST, respectively.
Not 100% sure, but that's what I came up with based on the information in ETK.
So, I washed all the boxes and chose the best one. It turned out to be the second box, although it is for M40 (by the way, in addition to the number, it also has this marking - M40). I also noticed that on late boxes, the fastening tape is black.


Why not put the first one for M20? Because I still don't have a 21mm spark plug spanner, and a 16mm spanner won't fit in it. Later, I will find the necessary candle key, replace the 8x10 and 12x13 keys with better ones, - then I will also change the box.
And so far my kit looks like this:


Part Home - tool box (71 11 1 128 911)
Part Forum - threaded insert (71 11 1 179 445) - is inserted into the hole on the trunk lid.
Part #3, Groups - not used.
Part No. 5 - threaded plug (71 11 1 117 440) - screws into No. 2.
Part No. 6 - fastening tape (71 11 1 179 443) - is inserted into the slots in the box and in the trunk lid, serves as a limiter for opening the box.
Part No. 7 - damping gasket (71 11 1 152 109) - foam rubber glued to the trunk lid.
Part No. 8 - self-tapping screw ST4.2X19 (07 11 9 904 431) - 2 pcs. for fastening the box.
Part No. 9 - double-sided 17-19 angled wrench (71 11 9 690 008). Not available to order.
Part No. 9 - double-sided angle wrench 8-10 (71 11 1 112 893)
Part No. 9 - double-sided angle wrench 12-13 (71 11 1 126 148)
Part No. 10 - screwdriver (71 11 1 179 629)
Part No. 11 - a pin (71 11 1 093 774) - is used as a knob for a spark plug key and as a guide when replacing a spare wheel (many people do not know about this - it is very convenient). Photo from the Internet:

Part No. 12 - spark plug wrench 21 mm (71 11 1 179 745)
Part No. 12 - spark plug wrench 16 mm (71 11 1 179 700)
Part No. 13 - pliers (71 11 1 179 522)
Part 14 - bag with tools (71 11 1 128 360) - was used only on special cars. Not available to order.

The key for emergency opening of electric windows (54 12 7 199 322) is not shown in this ETK section. But I have already mentioned it before - a Z-shaped hexahedron. It is used only in the presence of electric windows and/or electric sunroof.

Therefore, the whole tool can still be bought new, except for the key 17-19.

The box is screwed to the trunk lid with two self-tapping screws. For this, I had to remove the covering of the cover - it was necessary to screw it on immediately. Although, I saw in most of the photos on the Internet - the box is screwed on top of the sheathing, thereby additionally pressing it. But the look is not very aesthetic. So I "hid" the drawer mounts under the trim - it looks much better that way.
Insert the tape and glue the foam. By the way, I bought new foam, and I thought it would come with an adhesive base. But no - just foam. I had to stick it on construction glue for porous materials. We arrange the keys in places.


About the empty spaces in the box - they are used on older E23 and E28 bodies for the emergency opening tool for power windows:
- pin (71 11 1 150 191) - is placed inside the spark plug
- plastic attachment for the pin (71 11 1 150 500) - is placed on the lower left. Not available to order.
Photo from the Internet:


These parts are not used for E30. But it will be possible to buy them - just so that the seats are not empty ;)

We close the box - beauty! :)


Next subsection:
Tool box large


An additional option is a large tool box with an extended set of keys. It is attached similarly, but with 4 self-tapping screws. Additional holes in the cover are provided, but it is not compatible with the lining of the trunk lid. In addition, on my drawer, its fastening is broken. So I'll keep it just for the options collection. But of the entire set of tools for a small box, only a screwdriver fits in a large box. All other keys must be bought specifically for a large box - they are also large. This is clearly visible in the photo - simply transferring them from a small box to a large one will not work:


For now, I only have a foam insert for spare lamps (71 11 1 127 113) for it.
But the whole set is available to order, moreover, it can be bought by one number - (71 11 1 115 329). The only difference between the new sets and the old ones is the green color of the handles on the screwdrivers. Photo from the Internet:


In early sets - red. Photo from the Internet:


Maybe one day I will buy it for my collection.

Next subsection:
Bulbs/fuses


I have already written about lamps and fuses in the relevant sections, so I will not repeat them here. Therefore, in this subsection we consider only one rare detail. Although, I also wrote about her once.
Detail Home - polishing cloth (71 11 1 115 810). Not available to order. Plain blue napkin. but with the BMW logo. The logo comes in two color variants. Very rare and very expensive in my opinion. That's why I bought a "replica" a long time ago :) It looks no worse than the original.


I put it in a box.


That's all with the on-board tool.

Towbar units remain. I definitely won't install a towbar, as this will require cutting a huge hole in the rear apron of the BBS. I'm not ready to make such sacrifices for the sake of a towbar :) So, I will deal with it after assembling the car - just for the sake of a collection of options. By the way, I have two of them - a regular one and one with a removable hook. Then I will write about them, but for now, just a "teaser" ;)



The last, or rather the first, subdivision is stickers.
But this will be the "last chord" upon completion of the car assembly!

P.S.
Yesterday I took all the side glass from polishing - now I will finish the assembly of the doors.

[The_Glory]

We start a new section of ETK:
Spare parts+accessories (engine+chassis)

I want to finally finish the assembly of the trunk, so I'm starting with the subdivision
On-board tool/ jack




Part Home - Storz jack (71 12 1 178 721).
Some cars were equipped with a Bilstein jack (71 12 1 178 722). Photo from the Internet.


For cars with M-Technic II thresholds, there was a special Storz jack (71 12 1 180 172), with a wider "paw". Photo from the Internet.


Jack mounting details:


Part No. 3 - tension lever (71 12 1 126 858)
Part No. 4 - screw with a head (71 12 1 127 514)
Part Uncategorized Groups - M6x4 bolt (07 11 9 907 529) or M6x10 bolt (07 11 9 907 519) for M-Technic jack
Part No. 10 - shield (51 71 1 916 269)

We fasten bar No. 3 with screw No. 5, and screw screw No. 4 into a special bracket on the left wheel arch.


Adjust so that bar No. 3 hits screw No. 4 with its groove. Tighten screw Uncategorized Groups We put decorative cover No. 10




We put the jack and press it with a bar with a screw.


By the way, so that the paint on the jack does not peel off, I glued an "anti-squeak" strip to the bar. There is no upper protective cover on my jack - it is lost somewhere - it will be necessary to find and install it.

Part Forum - a key for wheel bolts (71 12 1 179 953)
Part No. 6 - clamp for fastening the key (51 47 1 933 468) - 1 pc. It is placed on the left trunk lining. I haven't installed the skin yet, because first I need to install the electric antenna and the audio amplifier. There were some problems with the antenna - in the process of repair, and the amplifier really needs a mounting bracket, I can't find it anywhere...
However, other clamps (71 12 1 126 859) - 2 pcs. They were placed on the wall of the left niche of the trunk in special insert plates.
I bought both types - it will be possible to put two keys! :)


We put the clamps in special insert plates and snap the key into them.


The jack does not interfere


After installing the skin, I will also install another clamp, since the skin is already from a later car, and has a special hole for this.

Part No. 9 - anti-rollback stop (71 11 1 179 052) - 1 pc. I bought it new, but I could not find any reliable information on exactly where it should be located... I just put it in the niche next to the key and jack - it seems logical... If anyone knows for sure, the correct place its location please share the information.


Part No. 7 - spare wheel bracket (71 15 1 180 625) - 1 pc.
Part No. 8 - wing nut M8 (71 15 1 179 257) - 1 pc.

In the photo above, you can see two round "plates" for attaching a spare wheel - with a slot and one without a slot. Earlier machines used a "plate" without a slot (apparently with this number - 71 15 1 179 095). Later - with a slot.
I put an earlier one - without a slot, although to get the wheel, you need to completely unscrew the wing nut and remove the "plate". If there is a slot, it is enough to simply loosen the wing nut by a few turns and pull the "plate" to the side - it is more convenient. But for the entire time, I used the spare tire only a few times, so it is not critical.


Spare wheel, not ready yet, so I haven't put it on yet.

By the way, I once mentioned a useful option - the original plastic "bucket", which is installed inside the inverted wheel disc, and serves as an additional niche for various accessories. But it doesn't fit in the basic steel disc... I'll see, I may have to carry a 9x16 wheel as a spare :)

Part No. 11 - towing eye (72 15 1 965 186), used only on restyled cars. It is attached to the left trunk lining.
Parts No. 12, No. 13, No. 15, No. 16 are not used.
Part E30 Classified Forums - key for removing decorative wheel covers (36 13 2 294 421), used only for optional "style 10" wheels.

Well, happy birthday! Very interesting base model radio, always neat to see such things as we never got truly low spec cars in the US.

Thank you.
Yes, in the USA there were usually very good configurations.

Shopping and gifts.

Today it will not be about assembling a car, but about shopping and gifts.
It's been a long time since I bought anything for the car, so I couldn't resist, given the opportunity, and bought at least something, although it may not be very necessary :) I decided to collect the same glass for all doors - green SOLIVER. And just such a glass for the rear left door was found in Kyiv, at the well-known "dismantling" of old BMWs. I have ordered parts from there several times before with mail delivery, and this time I decided to go there myself to pick up the glass. The sight is impressive - and this is only a small part...


I noticed such a "dinosaur" there - M20 on the carburetor in E12.


But I was interested in the E30 with green glass. And here it is, or rather what is left of it (pay attention to where the sticker with the specified color is located).


A small "lyrical" digression :)
Looking at its color, I wondered what kind of E30 it was. Oddly, the VIN wasn't cut, so I checked it. And here are some interesting things:
month and year - November 1984 - exactly as on mine
color - PLATANENGRUEN METALLIC (188) - exactly like mine
upholstery color - PINIENGRUEN (0149) - exactly like mine
glass color - S350A WAERMESCHUTZGLAS GRUEN, RUNDUM - exactly as on mine
It was exactly the same 4-door sedan, with a manual sunroof, left-hand drive, with a manual gearbox, for the European market.
The difference is only in the engine and equipment. I had the most "cheap" 316 with an M10 on a carburetor, in a very simple configuration, and this was the most "expensive" 323i at that time with an M20 Jetronic, and judging by the remains, in a very good configuration. Very similar, but two extremes. And their fate is different...
The car rotted, as if it was lying at the bottom of the sea! Everything that was removed or torn from it is lying around it - the engine, gearbox, radiator... Probably only the seats and interior parts were sold - everything else is garbage... But something useful was preserved and I took it as a reserve :)
So, back to shopping:


I washed and cleaned the house and this is what I have - it might come in handy ;)


The glass was, of course, tinted with a film that was very difficult to remove.


But I did it anyway. The glass was in excellent condition, without scratches.


I recently wrote about the plastic covers in the niches of the front speakers. They were intact on this car and I realized I had installed them incorrectly. On the left is the old one, on the right is my new one.

The old one has a larger "handle" and "ear" with which it is fixed on the opening of the speaker. Apparently, the "ear" was made smaller when replacing the speaker casing from fabric to plastic. You don't need to push the lid all the way down like I did. Therefore, I rearranged it correctly - we fix it with the ear at the bottom of the hole.


Thus, now the cover should also be on the left side - the ECU of the central lock will not interfere. I will install it later.

I also wrote about the brackets for interior lamps - I replaced them with a good "replica". But on this car, surprisingly, they were preserved completely intact!


I also replaced them for order :)


He took the broken box for cassettes that was lying there under his feet. I've had one for a long time, it's also broken. I was thinking of making one out of two. But it turned out that they were of two types. I had one with "windows" indicating the presence of a cassette, and this one without them. Now you will have to add them both :)


By the way, the day before yesterday, a teammate gave me a third type of "cassette box", in excellent condition, but without a frame. For that with cassettes))


Now there will be the entire "line" of E30 cassette boxes. Although, I have nowhere to put them - the phone is in their place. Maybe someday I'll move it to the console, then the "cassette" will come in handy.
By the way, I bought another microphone for the phone with a decorative grill in the console, which I was missing, cables for the phone antenna, and a button for locking the rear windows. Also, I took almost the entire audio wiring and electric antenna wiring. Unexpectedly, there I found a windshield wiper switch with an "intensive" button and a heater panel frame with a temperature scale with numbers on the E30 body cut in the trash - a nice find for climate control :) Also for "creative" experiments I took the wiring of the E34 power sunroof and the belt lock security - but more on that later. And all sorts of little things, connectors.

I recently bought another interesting thing, but I don't know why. :) I said I wouldn't install an airbag, although I did the wiring for it. Now I also bought a set of wiring, sensors and ECU...


I washed it, cleaned it and put it in a box... Maybe one day, if it becomes completely boring, I will start looking for all the steering control parts for the airbag - rail, column, switches, steering wheel... Although it will not be possible to fully install it, without welding works on the KPP tunnel... The same thing...

And it all started with glass. So - the last green SOLIVER glass was recently found - on the front right door. We exchanged with a teammate, for which I am sincerely grateful to him. The glass was also tinted, but here the film came off very easily.



Soon I will give all four glasses for polishing and then, finally, it will be possible to finish the work on the doors.

Well, I kind of bragged about the shopping, and now about the gifts) I recently had a birthday, and this is what my wife and daughter gave me!


Interesting and rare things - I am very grateful to them.
Standard audio amplifier. I really need a mounting bracket for it - I'm looking for it.


Standard radio receiver BMW BAVARIA DIGITAL II. So to speak - the main audio device of the very entry level :) Without a cassette player - just a radio. Not often found. Moreover, it is in almost new condition. Apparently, it was replaced when it was new - with some kind of cassette player.



Connectors are still of the old type.


Along with the radio, there was a factory manual, but as it turned out, the manual was for the diametrically opposite model - the top-of-the-line cassette radio for that time, the BMW BAVARIA C BUSINESS. I have such a radio, so the factory manual will be an appropriate addition to it.


The car light is probably not a factory option, but an "aftermarket" option, but it has been made in Germany since those times. An interesting accessory, in my opinion. Completely disassembled, cleaned. Works from 5 batteries, although the lamp is 6V.



Folds compactly.



In the working position, it has two modes - constant light and flashing. But I haven't bought the batteries yet, so I'll check after I leave ;)



And another very nice gift from old friends from the E30 club. Yura and Zhenya - thank you!
The desk clock is made from a regular BMW E30 clock - great!


Club! ) Power supply from a regular outlet.


These are my updates)

I will also write something about assembling the car soon.

Assembly_65. ETK_51_Body equipment. Outside rear view mirror

So, only after installing the "shadow line" overlays (by the way, the sequence of their installation should be exactly like this, I am in the description above), you can install external rear-view mirrors on top of them.

Outside rearview mirror


In the basic configuration, there was only the driver's mirror with an electric drive, and the passenger's mirror - with a mechanical drive. The electric drive of the passenger mirror was already an additional option of the "electric package" - S311 ELEKTRISCHER BEIFAHRERSPIEGEL. It seems a bit strange logic - it would be more convenient for the driver to do the opposite. But it was probably such a clever marketing move - the driver's part can be turned by hand without getting up from the seat, and the passenger's part is already problematic, so they ordered an additional electric drive. Well, this is my opinion :)
By the way, there were also super budget configurations - without a passenger mirror at all.
I have both electric mirrors, but they need to be "upgraded" - heated. so that they fully correspond to the option - S314 Heated exterior mirrors, including heated door lock / washer nozzles. To do this, you need to disassemble the mirror (I don't know why I didn't do this before painting them). We unscrew four screws and remove the electric drive, from the rear side of the drive we take out the wires with contacts - you just need to pull. We pull out the wiring.


In the original, the heating of the mirrors was implemented very simply - two black wires from the power supply of the electric drive (blue and brown) were added in parallel. That is, the heating works constantly in the second position of the key in the ignition lock, and when the engine is running. The original wiring of the heated mirror looks like this (photo from the Internet):


Therefore, I did not look for the original wiring, but in 5 minutes I made exactly the same one from my usual wiring.


It is better to add additional wires after the wiring has already been pulled through the hole in the mirror housing. Because with them, it fits very badly and can be torn. We connect it to the electric drive, by the way, the contacts are signed on it according to the colors of the wires. The heated mirror is ready.


So, all the details of the kit:


In ETK, there are many mirror configuration options with different numbers, so I will not duplicate them here.
Part Home - mirror housing with wiring and rubber gasket.
Detail No. 2 - the glass of the mirror is ordinary or heated. It has different numbers on the left and right sides, but it can be put on either side.


The two upper ones are ordinary - one is original, and the other is apparently an analogue without any markings and numbers, but with the original ring mount. By the way, on new analogs, the fastening is simplified - just latches. The lower one is original with heating.


Detail No. 3 - panoramic mirror glass, ordinary or heated. It has different numbers on the left and right side. Not interchangeable.
Part Groups - rubber gasket left (51 16 1 904 529) and right (51 16 1 904 530).
Part No. 5 - left shield (51 16 1 937 441) and right shield (51 16 1 937 442). A cover covering the hinge and wiring from below. It differs on the left and right side.





From the factory, all body colors were not painted, black. By the way, in the basic configuration, the mirrors are black, and in the color of the body is also an additional option - S844 Exterior mirrors in the color of the body



By the way, if you look closely, you can see that the bracket of the left and right mirror housing has a different angle of inclination, therefore the covers are different. This is probably why mirrors from a left-hand drive car are not suitable for a right-hand drive, and vice versa.


Part No. 6 and No. 7 - M5X12 bolt with washer - 2 pcs. on each side.
Part Private Messages and Albums - mirror adjustment button with a switch (61 31 1 378 847). Located in the door handle. In complete sets with one electric mirror, there is no switch button for the left and right side.
I forgot to put it, so the photo is separate.




Part No. 10 - electric drive (51 16 1 394 107). The same on both sides. Electric mirror adjustment drive with two motors.


On the reverse side there are contacts, signed according to the colors of the wires.


On earlier machines, the drive has one motor and an electromagnetic coil. It is attached to the body with four self-tapping screws, which are not specified in the ETK.
Installation is very simple - the case with a rubber gasket is attached to the door with two bolts. We pass the wiring through the rubber insert in the door and connect it to the door wiring. The adjustment button is also connected to the door wiring, but this will be after the door trims are installed.


We remove the wires for heating the mirror


My heated glass did not have a ring mount. It cannot be ordered separately, it comes together with the glass. So I rearranged it from regular glass. To do this, you need to press the latch of the glass to release the groove on the ring.


Snap the ring onto the heated glass. We connect the heating wires, the glass is tightly put on with four small pins on the electric drive, the grooves on the ring down. Then, with a thin screwdriver inserted through a special hole in the groove, the ring is rotated and fixes the glass. To remove the glass, you need to similarly rotate the ring in the other direction.


The mirror is installed.




Similarly on the right. You just need to find another heated glass, and for now I have installed a regular one.








More on glass sealants.

I wasn't too sure about the blue color, but it's coming together with the shadowline trim components.

Yes, I also noticed that the color blue goes very well with "shadow line"

Assembly_64. ETK_51_Body equipment. External overlays/decorative grills

The rest of the overlays are located in another ETK section
Body trim

Unit
Exterior Trims/Decorative Grilles


On my car, instead of the basic "chrom" package, the optional "shadow line" package is installed - accordingly, all door trims have a black semi-matte color. They were not in bad condition, but it was better to paint them.


The story with painting took a long time... At first I wanted to do it myself, but I was afraid to spoil them, because I am not a very good painter). Therefore, I bought paint and gave them to a painter I know. It took a long time to assemble, then he got sick... several weeks passed and I took the overlays and they were not painted. I wanted to paint it myself again... but I never dared... then I decided to do everything right and took them to the same painter who painted my car. I am satisfied with the result - it looks like the original - semi-matte black.


Everything does not fit on the table, so in parts.
Upper linings of the roof.


Part Home - black front bar, left (51 13 1 953 065) and right (51 13 1 953 066).
Part Forum - black connecting jumper, left (51 13 1 953 067) and right (51 13 1 953 068).
Part Blogs - black rear bar, left (51 13 1 953 671) and right (51 13 1 953 672).
Part Groups - air duct cover, left (51 13 1 922 331) and right (51 13 1 922 332).


Part No. 5 - rubber gasket (51 13 1 906 969)
Part No. 6 - bracket (51 13 1 884 467) - 4 pcs. on each side. Connects parts No. 3 and No. 4 together.
Part No. 7 - tip (51 14 1 902 279) - 1 pc. on each side. Lower attachment of part Groups
Part No. 8 - insert (51 13 1 870 459) - 3 pcs. on each side. Attachment of part No. 4.
Part No. 9 - sealing gasket (51 13 1 904 479) - 3 pcs. on each side. For detail Private Messages
Part No. 10 - bracket (51 13 1 863 499) - 4 pcs. on each side. Attachment of part No. 1.


Clips No. 6 are inserted into the holes of the pad No. 4, and are fixed with spacer rods. Then bar No. 3 is snapped onto them.


On the inner side, we glue the sealant - 50 cm on each side. You can order the original one.


But I had a similar sealing strip from a regular hardware store - no worse and 20 times cheaper :)


I draw attention to two details that are not specified in the ETK - a rubber stop and a plastic spacer on the overlay. The stop is made of elastic rubber or rubber, and is glued to the lining. That's why I didn't wash it off the paint so as not to damage it. A plastic spacer is inserted into the pad and prevents the pad bracket from bending during its installation.


We put connecting jumpers on the upper edges.


Clips No. 7 and No. 8 with gaskets No. 9 are inserted into the holes on the body.


But carefully click the overlay into them.


Clips No. 10 are inserted into the front bar No. 1 - in the part that goes along the front rack of the roof. 4 pieces each on each side, evenly along the length of the roof rack.


Then we insert the bar with a groove on the edge of the roof, and push the bar from front to back along its entire length so that it falls into the connecting bridge on the back bar. We fasten the front part to the roof rack. All this must be done very carefully so as not to bend the bar.


The upper linings of the roof are installed.

Front door linings.


Part #11 - black front bar, left (51 32 1 961 247) and right (51 32 1 961 248).
Part CSS Examples - black front vertical bar, left (51 32 1 876 143) and right (51 32 1 876 144).
Part No. 15 - bracket (51 32 1 874 017) - 10 pcs. for each door.

Rear door linings.


Part Articles - black rear bar, left (51 34 1 961 273) and right (51 34 1 961 274).
Part E30 Classified Forums - black rear vertical bar, left (51 34 1 888 219) and right (51 34 1 888 220).
Part No. 15 - bracket (51 32 1 874 017) - 9 pcs. for each door.

We install brackets evenly along the length of the front door frame. These staples are disposable and break very easily, and cost 1 Euro each - so you have to put them very carefully.


An important point - under the vertical post of the front door, you need to immediately install the bracket of the lower lining, which I mentioned in previous entries about glass seals. Otherwise, it will not stand up later, as it simultaneously holds the vertical and lower pads.
We install brackets evenly along the length of the rear door frame.


It is not specified in the ETK, but all overlays are additionally fixed with butyl tape - this was the case both on my door and on the donor door, and it can often be seen in photos on the Internet. Therefore, I bought butyl rubber tape and glued several short strips to each pad.


We start with a vertical overlay. Insert the outer edge into the groove and snap the inner edge of the pad onto the clips.


Similarly, the upper overlay.


Now you can install the bottom cover, which I wrote about in the section on glass seals. Carefully insert it into the grooves of the clips. By the way, I forgot to take a picture of the lower clips.


Same thing on the back door. First, a vertical overlay.


Upper cover. Very carefully you need to fasten the back part, on the "Hofmeister bend".


Now you can install the bottom cover, which I wrote about in the section on glass seals. Carefully insert it into the grooves of the clips.


"shadow line" overlays are installed. Now you can put seals and glass.

[The_Glory]

Assembly_63. ETK_41_Body. Rear door seal

Rear door seal



Part Home - upper rubber seal left (51 22 1 888 213) and right (51 22 1 888 214). It is placed on top of the door frame - it is simply inserted tightly into the groove. I thought it would be hard, but with the silicone lube it clicks into place very easily.


On the vertical post of the door frame, the seal is also inserted into a special groove.


Part No. 12 - bracket (51 22 1 922 139) for fastening the seal - 1 pc. for each door.


It can be replaced by a bracket (51 22 1 856 946) used on the front door.
Detail Forum - internal plastic decorative bar. It can be chrome or matte black (in the "shadow line" package). Mine were chrome, but the condition of the coating was not very good, and besides, in the "shadow line" they should be black - so I painted them. In ETK, the left and right bars have different numbers, but I don't understand what their difference is - in fact, they are the same and stand on both sides equally. In addition, they are no different from the front bars.
Detail Blogs - internal rubber glass seal with "velvet" spraying. In ETK, the left and right seals have different numbers and are not interchangeable. After restyling, parts Forum and Blogs were combined into one rubber part.
Part No. 8 - a bracket (51 21 1 906 277) for fastening a decorative bar and a seal - 4 pcs. for each door.
Part No. 15 - bracket (51 22 1 911 805) for fastening a decorative strip - 1 pc. for each door. It is placed in the back part under the blind glass (similar brackets are placed on the front door under the mirror). It differs from bracket No. 8 in width. In the photo on the left #8, on the right #15:


Detail No. 5 - an external metal decorative bar. It can be chrome or matte black (in the "shadow line" package). I have the "shadow line" package - that's why it's black. In ETK, the left and right bars have different numbers.
Detail No. 4 - external rubber glass seal with "velvet" coating. In ETK, the left and right seals have different numbers and are not interchangeable.
Part No. 6 - bracket (51 21 1 876 087) for fastening decorative bar and seal - 4 pcs. for each door (similar to the front door)
Part No. 7 - bracket (51 21 1 904 513) for fastening the decorative bar - 3 pcs. for each door. One is placed in the front part under the vertical post of the door, where there is no longer a glass seal, and two in the back part under the blind glass.
In the photo on the left (51 21 1 904 513), on the right (51 21 1 876 087):


There are special stampings on the doors for installing staples:


The brackets are simply put tightly on the edge of the door.


The outer brackets are similar, but I installed them together with all the "shadow line" overlays, so I will write about them later. Rubber seals for the glass must be installed after the glass is installed, so we will talk about them later.

Now about the door stoppers.


Part No. 9 - plug D=23MM (51 71 1 904 843) - 1 pc. for each door. It is installed instead of the corrugation of the door wiring, in the case of a configuration without an electric package. In my case it is not used.
Part No. 10 - plug D=6MM (51 71 1 904 603) - 1 pc. for each door. Miniature rubber plug with BMW logo:

But, apparently, not all doors have openings for them. I found a hole for it only on the back left door. It is not there on the right door, as well as on both front doors - and I don't understand why it is there... That's why I have 3 pcs. turned out to be redundant.
Part No. 11 - plug D=20MM (51 71 1 964 810) - 1 pc. for each door. It is placed from the bottom of the door, but there are doors with holes D=18.5MM, which require other plugs (51 21 1 838 473). Perhaps it somehow depends on the year of release. In my case, the front doors have 20mm holes, correspondingly plugs (51 71 1 964 810), and the rear doors have 18.5mm holes with plugs (51 21 1 838 473).


Part No. 13 - plug D=17MM (51 22 1 924 979) - 1 pc. for each door. A rubber plug that closes the hole for the plastic nut for fastening the door molding.
Part No. 14 - plug D=28MM (51 71 8 138 511) - 1 pc. for each door. A plastic plug covering the hole for the lower bolt of the door opening limiter.
Plugs are installed.
Right side:

Next, about the "shadow line" overlays.
