I keep having dreams that someone stole my dashboard from my e30... WTF IS THE MEANING OF THESE DREAMS?!

I have those all the time. Especially after I spend some time working on it or cleaning it up.

I also have this one recurring dream that it gets wrecked where it's parked.

I cleaned/fixed my broken fog machine. Was so close to throwing it away too. White distilled vinegar and a needle did the trick!

Was juuuuuuuust about to start a "no-start" thread.
The soldering on the aftermarket fuel pump's wiring broke.

Yessir. That and a couple bikes.

How much is the 2002 being sold for Mike?

Looking for the 3 mounting screws/hardware for the engine wiring harness beauty cover as seen here, I have misplaced mine. Any ideas on part numbers or if someone has spares I can buy?

I believe those are 10mm plastic type nuts.

[R3Z3N]

Tried, not enough threads on to the passenger side. Drivers side are metal type screws I believe looking at the threads.

Oh oh oh, they are open end with an attached washer on it.

Whatever it is, I am having a tough time finding it @ realoem, or junkyards.

Edwin, thanks so far!

for the m10 motors there is an ignition control unit that goes there and this is the part number for the screw: 12141271678

the realoem image doesn't match the real part though i don't think. Mine had washers on the screws that you could not remove.

the screw on the other end on my car was plastic.

Almost traded in my C350 for a 335D. Luckily they lowballed the shit out of my on my car so I told them to fuck off... It was a nice one though. M-Sport stuff on it, paddle shifters, and Japanrot. Looked really sexy, but damn the interior has some crap plastics that were fading even with just ~60k on it.

Good call, MB interiors hold up against time way better then BMWs and they're expensive to replace. My friend turned one down for the same reason with similar miles on it and got a c63 instead.

I agree. MB & Audi interiors > BMW interiors.

I had a 2012 740Li come into work last week and ALL the paint or whatever on the buttons for the center console were chipping away already! You couldn't even read what some of them said! I couldn't believe it, car only had 45k on the clock.

I would go insane if I paid all that money for a POS quality interior. Honestly, BMW has the worst interior design and quality in comparison to their German competitors.
