    I am back after almost a decade.

    I have had some time off the scene and recently got my baby out of storage. Lots Have changed over the years but she is still running great!! S50b32 swap, alpina wheels and a lot more. I opened the trunk and my unicorn box was still there. I was trying to get wiring figured out when things went south job wise etc a long time ago. The alpina vent gauge is still there. Are these still as rare as before? Anyone have one installed that knows wiring diagram? Thanks! Glad to have her running. I am original owner 30’years ago this year!

        Here are some close ups on the alpina vent gauge. Anyone have any knowledge on these? Wiring diagram? Sensors needed? I remember it took almost 3 years to find it back in the day.

              Maybe finally get the vent in :). But overall not much. New floor mats and enjoy her. She runs great. The euro s50 pulls a car or so against my friends 2016 m3.

                        are those cocomats? You have a super cool setup. and to answer your question, yes vent gauge is rare. at least as far as i know. I've never even seen one before this.

                          My new E30 Alpina floor mats arrived. Softer than the old Cocomats. Beautiful.

                            Quick pic at the store. Damn she is nice. Didn’t realize how much I missed the e30.

                              Nice! :)

                              I wonder if you can find the vdo connector in a bmw parts cataloge.

                              I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.
