Looks like a bit of work there:), but well worth it to have it all working. Did the kit come with any instructions on how to put it in??

Yes it came with instruction, but in German. Most of my memory comes from owning my 1984 Alpina B6 2.8. My friend Brain (Flyboyx) gave me his write up on the Alpina vent gauge wiring.

I been connecting the connections to the silver Alpina box. I need to extend 1 wires to ignition, because some body in the past cut the wire short. Second one to ground. Third to to dim light on head light switch.

I also need to trim some wires on the Alpina harness in engine bay.

Yeah don't I know it. I know if I bide my time and have the right amount of funds at the right time my 89ix will be one hell of a Hartge replica. He'll I'm even getting the Hartge vin piece. Not changing the vin or anything just putting the the info on it is all. Also Raul you happen to know the inlet and outlet size for the Hartge muffler. That muffler just sounds beastly.

I have his email. You can ask him if he tested if works. It looks 100% complete. The ones that come up on eBay are usually not compete. Missing parts.

It's fine, between paint and buying alpina valence I don't have two nickles to rub together.

[e30m3s54turbo]

There's that one for 2000 euros but man that's way to much.

I only wish i could afford the real deal. Going with the podi rep one for my tribute. Such a rare piece Raul.

It just takes time and money. I sure one come your way.

I'm hoping so. I'm going to have over 3k set aside for that intake Haha.

I hope your journey takes you to Hartge heavens. It just takes time.

That is pretty nice that you have the real one in your car: the vent gauge. I know you can get one that is newer, but does not look exactly like yours. Seems like you are putting the finishing touches on the car, if these car ever get finished:).
Someday, I would like to get down there again, and take a look at your collection.
jm

I like to buy the real deal. Yes some day all these cars will be done. Is it a 14 hour drive to where I live?

Raul I can't express to you how amazing your builds are. I can only hope my Hartge build turns out as amazing as yours. Can't wait to see this beast running. I'll be coming down for Bimmerfest and I hope to check out your cars.

Thanks, Bud! I'm sure your car will have some sweet Hartge bits.
