I am glad you all had fun on my own expense but you never told me the name of that part or part number or no one has one? lol



I need the panel that holds the check panel in... Also it holds the sun visors in ....

its a header panel, bountiful at the junkyard.
just replaced it in anthonys car

[rob&e30]

rob if i didnt give it away, i might still have it from the blue car

thanks ... hows it come out.. Clips? Pull hard after all is removed (sun visors)

[oliver.r]

remove sun visors, has a 2 screws you have to acess through the sunroof opening, you have to remove the wind deflector to get to those, should take no longer than 20 minutes to replace

Lol you guys are fighting over sunroof and moonroof. It's really not that hard to figure out

Wut upgrade next do guise?

Z3 1.9 rack + e36 knuckle to fix my busted steering rack?
New tires to replace my bald 14" weave tires?
Bosch Euro Smilies + OEM Euro Grilles?

tires and the steering rack, so you don't r3v your car...

the right answer

I lost my first e30 to bald tires :(

[JinormusJ]

I was thinking about just getting some discount used tires to roll on for around a year and a half until I raise cash for the 5-lug/coilover setup

Got a lead on a $50 z3 rack, so I might do that first..
Decisions, decisions..

[decay]

man, tire shopping for e30s *sucks* these days- just checked and between tirerack/discounttire there is one DOT option in 205/60-14?

wha hoppen :(

[golde30]

I dont understand why anybody would want to do 5lug swap on e30 nowadays. There are plenty of wheel options for 4x100 nowadays, and big break kits are readily available as well. Proper 5lug is almost completely unavailable and cost prohibitive, and nice 5lug rims are getting more and more rare/expensive as well in good offsets.

I really like my Weds :(

5-lug is for the bawse-factor
Just like a 6-speed swap
Or a moonroof

You're not really opening yourself up to more options or saving that much in gas, but you can bolt up 5 lug wheels like cake, look at the moon without opening your roof, and downshift into 5th like a baller

@Kronus
You got pictures of the Weds? If they are the ones I'm thinking about, I will hate you.

yeah, it was fucking expensive, but the state i purchased my car in, it needed all of the suspension thrown away anyway... just made sense to me to do the suspension/brake upgrade and get the wheel options (keep in mind this was 2008), all with OEM parts.

i've actually been looking for a replacement to the e38 weaves for a while, but i can't find anything with similar measurements that's lighter.
