    Do you have documentation or electric diagrams for the automatic climate control and automatic air conditioner?

    It was installed in European E30s.
    Air conditioning with climate control is a rather rare option. My friend installed one on his E30 Touring. So far, I have only installed a blue-red temperature control scale with temperature numbers from him :) If I manage to find such a kit, I will install it.
    But I have the factory EBA instructions for installing this air conditioner.
    There is also an EBA instruction for a regular air conditioner.
    And for the early version with an additional fan in the cabin (including the wiring diagram).
    I will try to post them here if necessary.

    Unfortunately, I only have the wiring diagrams from ETM for a regular air conditioner.

      The file sizes are too large to upload here. Send me your email address and I'll send them to you if needed.

          Yes, I know about this catalog. But I have four CDs with EBA catalogs. And there are a few more instructions there. At least those that concern the E30.

            People say the ZF 4HP22 is a very reliable transmission.

            If nobody needs it, then it rarely fails.

            For comparison, everybody wants to buy an M20 head.

              Ohh thank God, I finally got my hands on a "Shadow of Intelligence E30" thread. Mr. The_Glory (I apologize for not knowing your name), I've been reading all your posts one by one for the past 3 weeks. :)
              I've read almost everything: your local sites, other E30 forums, and the blogs you've created. Truly, you're an idol for me, both as a subject and a writer. I've probably read all the processes three times, taken notes, and saved all the data you provided. I'm honestly very excited about the car's final state. After the brakes, the bumpers were completely installed, and I'm wondering if the car is finished. I hope everything is going well for you and the E30. I have a 1990 3.16i E30 in the same color and I'm doing a basic restoration. I was selling my car, but your thread changed my mind :)
              If this topic were discussed in our country, you'd probably receive thousands of positive comments. :)

                Hello! I am sincerely grateful to you for such a nice assessment of my work! ) I am glad that you found it interesting and useful.
                Unfortunately, I did nothing more with the car, because because of these damned Russian animals, we have electricity only a few hours a day, and mostly at night. Besides, it is still very cold. The garage is in the basement, so in the dark and cold I physically have no way to do anything there.

                Your car has a beautiful color! ;) I wish you success in restoring it!

                And thanks again for the kind words! )​

                  RADIOPASS Cards

                  So, the car has been in the garage since the end of September last year. Winter is already ending, and I haven't done anything with it. Although, I was going to paint and install the bumpers and paint at least one set of wheel rims by spring.... I already gave up on planning something...
                  There are two reasons for this - lack of finances, and lack of electricity. Or rather, it's one and the same reason - damned Russian bastards!
                  My garage is in the basement, and due to constant rocket attacks and blackouts, we only had electricity for a few hours a day all winter, and then mostly at night. In addition, it was very cold this winter. Therefore, it was physically impossible to do anything in the garage.

                  But, one day, I remembered that I was going to make code cards for my radios. I had already ordered blank forms for them and a sticker for the glass.


                  The forms are made according to the original card.
                  Not an exact copy, but still more like "old school" than the new black originals (01 39 9 781 688).


                  The back is clean.


                  If you print a full copy, on both sides, with text and codes for each radio, then each card is quite expensive. So at first I wanted to just write the codes manually in the same forms - as on the new original cards. But, either I explained it poorly, or I was misunderstood - and all the cards were made with the name of one model of the radio, which was on the sample - "RADIOPASS BMW BUSINESS RDS". Therefore, the model of the radio had to be glued. I decided to print the codes separately and paste them into the cards, rather than write them manually.
                  There was no light in the garage, so I settled down at home in the kitchen. )


                  I cut out strips with the model names and codes and glued them onto the cards.


                  Maybe a little "collective farm", but now the goal was to always have the codes for each radio "at hand", and not to look for them somewhere in the notes on pieces of paper every time. Maybe someday I'll make a model myself and print them out right away with the codes, but for now it will be fine )


                  I caught a moment while it was light in the garage to spread the cards out on the radios and stick a sticker. I also saved the papers with the codes just in case ;)


                  Currently, the car has a BMW BAVARIA C BUSINESS radio, so I put the corresponding instructions and a card with the code in the documentation folder.


                  The SAFETY BMW BAVARIA sticker is usually glued to the driver's door glass, but I already have a sticker for the standard alarm there, so I glued it next to it, on the rear door glass. It is glued to the inside of the glass.


                  I was a little worried that this sticker would look like a bright red spot on a blue car, but in fact it turned out to be almost invisible on the glass.


                  The text is even difficult to read.


                  A bit of strange logic - a warning that is almost not noticeable... )


                  Now everything is as it should be in a car with "music"! )

                  A little later I will write about one more little thing.

                  Or maybe I will paint the bumpers.... )
