Dashboard strippin'

[Euro Nation]

Everyone calls me weird for finding the stuff to make this possible, but I like it. And they can't steal a CD player if I don't have one.

Do you not have any tunes or is it behind that panel?

[Euro Nation]

No tunes. It all started with a Rabbit I had that came with a full factory radio delete. Ever since then I've been fascinated by the idea. It really doesn't bother me to not have tunes. Even in my cars that have CD players I find myself driving around with them turned off.

So where did you get the material to make the cover plate?

[Euro Nation]

Material? :D

There's a BMW part number on the back of it. Factory radio delete plate. Oh yeah... no more OBC either.

[dgdavidson]

I see, thought you made the plate yourself.

Item 3 here? (http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AF93&mospid=47305&btnr=65_0027&hg=65&fg=05)

Do you have the part umber for that? It doesn't look like it referenced in the link. I want to do the same thing. Do you have a part number for the A/C switch delete panel? Looks good!

[rfritz]

Found both! Items 10 & 11

Looks like dealership time on Monday for me!

Does anyone know if they make the kick panels near the floorboard without the cutout grille area for the speakers?

It looks like all the kick panels had grilles :mad:

The A/C blank panel is the same as the ones above the radio (the four switches: hazards, etc).

I finished it awhile back. Everything deleted. :D

What models had that analog clock?

[rfritz]

I don't know what models, I bought it on ebay. You can splice a plug from power mirrors to get power, the plus end is a perfect fit for the clock.

the M3 i think i got mine off ebay also, i spliced into the old clock plug so it still gets light and everything just like the factory clock. i think it only cost like $15 to, just type in "E30 clock"{ in ebay.

Anyways the radio delete looks clean!

What models had that analog clock?


It was a standard option on every European 318I-318IS-320I-320IS-325I-325IS. Only 316I did not have it, because there was a huge clock instead of tachometer (except 316I Bavaria model). M3 models did not have it. I suppose all european facelift models had it. I used to own a 1983 320I and it had a digital clock which i replaced with this analog one. It was a direct bolt-on job.
