BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted August 17, 2015 did some work on the car today swapped out the front struts for some others I had here , nice job on these only takes about 20-30mins . then later on decided to swap the stereo over to a usb , blutooth one I had laying about . then fitted the later type m-sports steering wheel then I got sick of the drivers door that kept closing on me as the door brake was broken so decided to remove the door card and replace that then thought while i'm at it swap the front door cards over to some leather insert type ones I had laying about. was going to do a speaker upgrade while in there but ran out of time. also swapped the tied looking gearknob and surround for some nice new ones I had . feels so much better now just need to swap the steering rack over to sports one some time also took the lower engine cover off to have a look nice dry engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Factory look with Bluetooth, works with steering wheel buttons for skipping tracks. That's what I put in my 328i. Was ~$140 purchased online from the US and shipped via Youshop.

BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted September 14, 2015 not sure yet , might just bolt it up to the 2.8l at this stage will probably need to do the clutch and flywheel 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scott_e30 8 Report post Posted October 21, 2015 I can have a look, wouldn't think so though (all would have been in glovebox). Ill see if I can fish out some old pictures of when we had it, can still remember the day we picked it up when i was only 12. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
