I have to remove the 5K redline. I buy it og ebay and did not notice it until it was to late. I thing i like the orginal look.

[dude8383]

yeh the white-face gauges kinda pop out too much...looks like it could get annoying after a while.

did you take a look at the OBC write-up that febi posted?

[jens]

Yes the white-face gauges kinda pop out too much and get annoying.
I did look at the OBC write-up from febi and it is smashing do any one know of write-up for Cruise control install for my E30.

[dude8383]

talk to e9nine...hes probably one of the few dudes that has cruise control on an m42.

he should be able to help ya out.

[jens]

Thanks i will do that.

Read over your thread beginning in 2006...
Great Bimmer.. nice mods

[Rain_E30]

Ok, with those borbet rims, your car looks really really great.
How is it driving around with your car in iceland?
I have never been there, but I'm sure its fantastic to drive around that landscape you got there.
Do you have even more photos?
