    Indeed. Very clean.

    But it does remove the mandated third light. Depending on your local law enforcement and desires...

    Got my order of maintenance parts from RockAuto. Super cheap if you plan everything right.



    Replaced the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, valve cover gasket, oil, and pct hose. Going to swap the thermostat and coolant this weekend coming up since the car doesn't heat up properly and failed smog.




    First E30 I have with the full intake system and ducts.

    Luna - 1992 325iC MTech Appearance Package

    Meet Luna, my newly-acquired 1992 BMW 325iC with the MTech II Appearance Package in triple white (alpine paint/lotus white interior/white basketweave). This package only included the MTech II kit minus trunk spoiler, matching paint wheels, leather e-brake handle/boot, and a few other goodies. This is an automatic with 207k miles on the clock. Not sure what I'm going to do about the interior and I already found an MTech II front valence which was the only part of the kit missing.

    08/19/2017



    Missing the front valence with some damage on the replacement late-model valence. Still drives straight and no showing rust.



    Body is fairly straight. There are a couple baseball-sized dents. Will get resprayed in a month or two, whenever I get the MTech II valence.



    Top was originally automatic, motors and stuff were gone when I got it and the top cover doesn't lock down. I'll have to find all the manual parts, pm me if you have them.



    White weaves still look good aside from the dirt. Missing two center caps. Anyone know if they were painted in alpine paint or something else?



    This car was so filthy when I got it. Dog hair and smell everywhere, crow feathers tucked in gaps, cigarettes under the center console, coffee stains and smell, by far the dirtiest car I've been in. Aside from that it had the HVAC trim broken because apparently someone tried to steal the radio. Turn signal stalk is broken, don't even know how that happened.



    Rear seats are ok, no tears or rips which was a first of the three verts I've had. Any idea how to restore these? Missing the drivers side speaker cover.



    Broken trim, dirt, and grime everywhere. This was after a thorough cleaning with the shop vac.



    Nasty stains and smells.



    Dog hair



    More missing/broken pieces



    Dashboard is ok. Some bubbling and a couple cracks. Again, not the worst I've seen.



    Missing speaker cover



    Probably been repainted before or just yellowed with time



    More hair



    There was also a full set of matches



    Pretty neat to see this installed, also had a weird button near the chime speaker. Disconnected the alarm since my hazards kept flashing while driving.



    Sick wiring job bro..




    After steam-cleaning the rear seats



    Was cleaning under the rear seat and the sound-deadening peeled off in one piece. Weight reduction?



    Replacement HVAC panel and radio delete panel



    After shampoo cleaning and vacuuming a few times. Gonna have to do it again this next weekend.




    Cleaning all the dirt and hair as possible

    Stopped taking pics at this point since I put everything back together.
