Interior Pictures
E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-SeriesInterior of my car. 5 speed manual using a Z3 1.9L shift lever with ///M shift knob, and a M-Tech I steering wheel. I also have some Pioneer speakers, as well as a Sony cd/mp3 player. I also made a better clutch stop to shorten the length, it works really well for $1.47 at the Home Depot. All of the gauges in my car are euro spec, as well as the thermometer, which is measured in Celsius. I also put in a euro check pannel written in german. The 7k tachometer from a 325i, so now I can see where the needle is above 5000 rpm. Check page 3 for the new cluster look, as well as the euro check pannel.
You can also see the custom pannel I have now finished, check page 3 for the picture.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-SeriesMy car is canadian, so the cloth pattern is rare, only being on the canadian version. Another benefit of canadian cars: heated door locks and mirrors. (not that I'll need that in southern california)

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-SeriesAnother interior picture with my new Dinan Floor mats. Check page 3 for more pictures.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-SeriesI recovered the black check pannel area and the side pillars in a grey cloth. It turned out great, check page 3 for a close up.

Hey, just had a few questions about some mods you did on your car. when you painted out your reflectors and stuff, think you could tell me a little more detailed on how i could do that myself, same with all the trim and stuff, also, when you tucked your bumper (as have i) did you change the valance? or is that the stock valance? Thanks, if you reply, think you could reply to mats_pc@hotmail.com Mat.
