Nicademus' 1986 325e Journal

i guess it could be a bad horn. it could give you a good excuse to get some really cool horn.

Hey, I have a digital multimeter at work...I'm bringing my tools home saturday night for a project on sunday, want me to swing by?

Possibly, let me see if there's one around here, I think there should be since I have lots of tools that I've never looked at.

I decided to throw my German Check Panel in and a nicer rear roundel:





Anyone have the part I need to fix my sunroof crank?




My helper


Got these rear headrest brackets in the mail


Anyone want an oem BMW stereo delete panel?

did it not sound like that before you changed the steering wheel? i didn't think the steering wheel could change the sound of the horn...

No its always been like that but I'm just now putting thought into it and sharing it with all of you. Bad horn?

I got my horn working last night. I needed to hook up the momo steering wheel horn buttons. The problem is my horn sounds like buzzer on the game Operation.

That's a clean looking e30. I like that color too, reminds me of my old Acura Vigor.

I'm not sure what model they're, I bought them from Kronus. I'll go look.

thanks, it looked quite nice in pictures, but in reality it was a beaten, run down, extremely high mileage E with a nice suspension and that's about it. the color is a bit skewed in the pic because it was taken with a cell phone. it is actually zinnoberot, not as wine colored as it appears in that picture.

You can use a multimeter (get a cheap $15 one at Radioshack) or even a test light to check that you're getting power in that plug, although it sounds like you aren't.

Multimeter! Yeah thats it :nice:

Good progress, dude. I'm kinda jealous of your seats :)

I just dug out my docs, those are Hella 530 lights. Did you get your harness working with both of them?

No I didn't, not really sure what to do. I guess I need one of those voltage checker things so I can tell if power is even going into the left side cable.

My seats are so nice. They came from Japan and have a couple wear spots in unusual areas. I'm trying to get the door cards and rear seat from the guy too. He has everything I want. So many rare parts that he got in Japan.
