Yes all of the United States’s major left-wing coastal cities are quickly turning into shitholes. NYC, which I live near, was starting already to look like a dump before this whole pandemic broke out...

THIS. My best friend, who is black, grew up in a solid middle class family in a quiet middle class neighborhood, with both parents present. And even then my friend and his younger brother glorify the...

That may have been true in the past, but no longer true today because of ubiquitous information technology. Even people in shithole areas today have smartphones with 4G LTE and thus have access to a wealth...

For those of you guys who have radios with busted tape decks that want to be able to listen to music off your phone, here is an affordable way to do it and through bluetooth! Just get one of these cheap...

Thanks for the input all. Decided that I'm going to ship my compressor over to Jay from the MyE28 and BigCoupe forums to rebuild. His work appears very high quality esp for the price he's charging for...

Not that important. The evaporator generally won’t get that cold unless you try to use your AC in late fall or winter. You can just buy solid copper wire and use that as a jumper between both connector...

This car probably is so clean and well put together it probably outdoes the factory craftsmanship in some areas. Good work!

UPDATE: ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. SOMEONE HAS ALREADY CLAIMED THESE PARTS

Using the rest of the radio for a project. Don’t need these parts and don’t have space for them so giving...

Eh it’s normal with German cars to have weak AC, especially ones as old as the E30. In Germany they don’t understand the concept of heat and humidity because their climate doesn’t really have those...

Best option would be to move out of Cali. That state has utterly horrid emissions regulations; I have no idea how you guys in Cali put up with that BS. But I realize in this economic climate that might...

Not gonna happen. If anything, governments (especially Western ones) will pass more insane safety regulations over the next several decades. Car manufacturers will grudgingly comply while putting on a...

I’ll give you the B pillar; much thicker on the E30. It does create a slight blind spot when you’re trying to make a right lane change and want to quickly check for a car out the passenger side windows....

Mine is on liability insurance under my dad’d insurance and I daily it. I drive mine like a grandpa due to the insurance policy, living in a densely populated area, and because it’s 30-35 year old...

Tried rebuilding my Behr Bosch wingcell compressor with new R134a seals. When the shop tried charging my AC they said the compressor was pissing refrigerant and that I need a new compressor. An OEM rebuilt...

So since there is a 5 attachment limit, I'll have to split this thread into multiple posts... Anyways, here is the backside of the tone control.



This is the motherboard. As...

My Alpine radio was busted so I decided to tear it apart and see how it works. I have a basic understanding of audio circuits but not enough to reverse engineer the entire thing. If anyone else wants...

Yes, get a 6-cylinder E30. The silky smooth I6 engine is reason enough to get an E30. I had a E36 318i with a 1.9L M44 4-cylinder that screamed at 4k at 80 MPH on the interstate. The 4-banger was harsh,...

Rebuilding my E30s AC compressor with R134a seals. It’s a Behr Bosch wing cell type (specific part number is 64 52 1 377 946). There are 8 of these strange circle head bolts with a small section of...
