hhaha. I euro hvacs are cool, but pretty hard to find. I too wanted an analog clock, but if you haven't noticed, their prices have surged in the last few months. I have a perfect 13-button, but I need the harness and shit...it's not gonna be fun installing it. :(

You look 12 OP:)

Good work on the car! Neat thread. Props.

I know, I look very young for my age:(

Yeah, thats it. I just ended up buying 2 13 button obc's without the light bars(not glass bar) for like 10 bucks and made a super nice one out of all 3 and even have an extra I'm gonna put in the coupe. Its a little glass bar with ink inside or something. The techs on here could probably give you an specific name for it, but I dont know. LCD bar?

Glad I could help8)

I can buy a whole new unit for around 10 bucks at a pick n pull, no reason to mess around with the thing, It's a good idea if you don't have access to junkyards, there is atleast 4-5 here on the island.

that's what it is! the lava lamp look, and I called it a spill

No, its his pixels on the glass board. Mine had the lava lamp effect so i took it out and swapped the glass from a good one into it. The actual ink stuff on the glass gets funky and creates that "lava lamp look".

And you can change the 24hr/celsius by using that push dot on the bottom right while pressing one of the functions, I forget which one though

Needs sport seats/mtech wheel

I have an mtech wheel, I just never have time to put it on, also don't I need a spacer of some sort?

Thanks! That's probably not it...it's your connection in the back. I've taken mine out a million times, but it always seems to go crazy occasionally. Just need to hit it with your hand a few times. The knob in the back of mine got jammed, so I'm stuck in 24 hr time + Celsius.

No I mean like the display is all messed up, It looks like a spill inside the screen. I found a good deal on a 13 button one, but I'm looking for an analog clock. If the blaupunkt radio shows the time then I'll just try and find the centering HVAC panel;)

I hope that will fix the problem. Did you replaced the ECU?

Yeah, fired right up;) and then it stalled, I played around with the wiring and it started. It dies randomly at times so I ordered a new engine harness for $55 with an extra DME. Also awaiting the keycard for the Blaupunkt radio that is going in.

Mail lady dropped off a package this morning.

New Main DME relay, Fuel pump Relay and a new O2 sensor heater relay.
Here are the old dirty and faulty relays.

And here are the new relays, anyone know why BMW started making them a different color?

So now I'm going to have to drive the car around to see if this helps the problem, the car stalls randomly at times and then has a hard time starting back up. When it does start it runs for a long time but then stalls again at the most random signs without warning or any sputtering.
Since I was bored after installing the relays, here is a picture of my interior, notice the crack free dash ;)
