My iX + what i've done so far...

[audiquattrot]

someone posted this on another forum -- this happened right after the show.

if this had been me, i might have had to kill someone.

OMGGGGG! was that the black one that was parked in line w/ the other E9's? Backstory behind it?

[leegf]

yes, i think that's the one. sure looks like it. don't know the backstory except that it occurred offsite at a parking lot of a hotel nearby. i think the other party wasn't affiliated with the event.

pretty sure that's several thousands of dollars (and probably NLA parts) worth of damage right there.

Wow beautiful ix man! Looks like its come a long way. My car could almost pass as a 4 door twin of your car, only yours is WAY nicer.





Definitely some resemblance lol only sometimes I wish my ix flares came with the actual drivetrain too given the brutal winters we get up here in canada lol
I absolutely love your Alpinas! always had a soft spot for Alpina wheels, would be my second choice if I didn't have my RS's. Also I'm gonna have to +1 on the spoiler with the others in my opinion. Maybe this pic will help you decide somewhat



Sorry didn't mean to jack your thread with my pics man! Just found it cool to have a twin ;) Awesome job with the car man keep up the great work, you got a seriously wicked ix!

thank you man! You're E30 is beautiful! I love the iX skirts on it. I may do the trunk spoiler down the road. I just hate the fact you have to drill into the trunk...seems so permanent if I ever want to go spoiler-less again.

Thank you that really means a lot coming from someone with a gorgeous E30 like yours ;) And I totally feel you on that, I was having the same exact worry about drilling into my old spoiler-less trunk until I was miraculously able to find a mint euro de-badged iS trunk with the spoiler in my EXACT paint color all thanks to a local fellow E30-er. Bolted it on and you couldn't tell it didn't belong on it I like to think that was a very lucky find though lol

pics of the system E30darkknight and I installed yesterday.

Question: Installed my Pioneer 80prs yesterday, but the dimmer feature doesn't seem to work when I turn my headlights on.

I forget exactly which wire we hooked up the orange headunit wire to, but basically it was the only wire left on the harness that wasn't hooked up to anything (purple/red I believe).

Are the E30s capable of dimming w/ aftermarket headunits....or do I need to tap into another souce (eg OBC) to get them to dim w/ the lights on?

Looks really nice! Can you post a sound clip

Nice..can you share the link for the keyless?

that's definitely a nicer FOB than the REC-43T I use. Please do post details, and also confirm you have the trunk release working... I assume panic doesn't work, and that you don't have the lights and horn connected?

PS: you can still get brand new BMW key blanks, both the original kind with embossed bmw logo (like in your pic), and the modular one with lighted head.

Yeah that's the same one I have with a newer FOB.

EDIT: here's the old FOB

the trunk release & panic button I didn't use, just the lock and unlock ones.

I actually have 5 sets of original keys that came w/ the car including a wallet sized one & the lighted head. I'm saving those, and using the most beat up one (in the pic) ;)
