They're actually called subframe bushings!
lookin good man, cant wait to see that thing finished, kopi alpinas look great
what is the button on your hvac panel, where the rear defrost usually is?? hatch wipers?
also do you have any pics of the trunk itself? like the little compartments and whatnot? ive never seen a touring trunk except for a couple pics.
keep up the good restoration work
thanks, my buddy owen, who owns the shop where he lets me do work and is also a former BMW tech (8 or 10 years at BMW of Stratham) couldn't remember for the life of him what the damn things were technically called. It was kinda funny actually. All we knew was they needed to be replaced because the passenger side one didn't have the space it was supposed to have.
thanks!
Button is for rear hatch wiper and rear hatch washer fluid.
I'll try to snap some pics of the bits and pieces of the trunk next time, but it'll be ready for show in a few weeks so you'll be able to see it for yourself real soon.

I spy seats! When are you gonna install the wheels?
I want that radio...really badly.
those are your old seats. waiting for a bolster cover, a bottom cover, and now two new back panels!
Wheels will be installed later this week. I ordered the wrong size tire, I ordered 215/40/17 and should have ordered 215/45/17 as there are WAY too many potholes here in NE.
Also my buddy's mouting machine is a little beat so I'm taking the rims and tires to BMW to mount, balance, and then do an alignment since who knows where one was done last.
Get the radio! Ebay FTW, they are AWESOME as an upgrade and still look stock!

sorry, try this...
Note: Made in West Germany. That's so cool. Some people on here are probably too young to remember the berlin wall coming down. But there was an east and west germany from the end of WWII to the end of the Cold war as symbolized by the fall of the wall.
Anyways... Here is the Vin tag located in the engine bay.

haha.
Well, here goes:
Purse - nothing wrong with getting a nice purse for yourself. My GF gets one a year from me so far and enjoys them immensely. However, after 6 mos - 1 year you'll want another one.
Radio - sure it's a radio for a car, and while you are a car lover we also well know you are uno chicka as well and purses are nice. However, this purchase will not become "old news" as you will enjoy it far longer than any purse.
Anyways, hope the auction went well! Let us know which direction you went in.

I like your breakdown, but...I went with the purse. I haven't EVER bought one for myself, and I never spend any money on things for myself that aren't car related, so I decided to take a break from the car thing and treat myself to something nice. It's pretty. I'm happy.
Davey, send me the last 7 of your VIN and I'll PM you the breakdown of your car's options.
pm sent thanks a ton kellie
using ebay to splurge yourself is awesome.........before i went "e30 parts" crazy, i used ebay a lot to build up quite a record collection. now i have around $10,000 worth of records, the oldest being from 1896!!
I am jealous. That is all.
yeah, fancy europeans and the model deletion
nothing wrong with a break from car stuff. after this touring is done I'll need one of those too!
congrats on the purse!
that's IMPRESSIVE. What are your top 5 favorite records?
(note: for those that haven't noticed I'm a tad ADD. Thus why I digress in my own thread)
Thank you. I was actually wondering that as well - too bad when I got the car it had this crappy aftermarket unit in it. I would have liked to see the stock head unit.
Thanks! But don't be - if you ever make it eastward you are welcome to take her for a spin! Unlike some I'll let anyone (with insurance and a license) drive my cars. What fun is it to have these fun toys and not share???

since you don't mind me going OT on your thread.
1) i have a great depression era cardboard 78 speed record, where the record is actually cut into a thin layer of plastic laminate over thin cardboard. its not worth a lot but i think its definetley the coolest record i have. its this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-PICTURE-DISC-HIT-OF-THE-WEEK-RUDY-VALLEE-SYCAMORE_W0QQitemZ270204337111QQihZ017QQcategoryZ3 06QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
2) Dylan, 1973 Canadian import. the record where Columbia tried to screw up Dylan's image after he switched labels, so they released his "worst" songs ever. not a lot left, and it was never put on cd in the u.s. i also have all his Asylum (new label) records
3) Newport Folk Festival Broadside, 1963. rare vanguard record record which has a couple of dylans songs played live.
4) Dead Kennedy's rare "orange" version" of fresh fruit for rotting vegetables. a screw up by the record label after it was decided it looked weird
5) Elvis Costello live at Hollywood high e.p. pretty rare and has a ton of great live songs.
those aren't worth a whole lot, but there my favorite. whats worth a lot is a huge collection of 1900's 78spd records i've collected from antique store and given to me by my grandfather. i like music btw
wow!! the only person to ever drive my car is my dad. id let people if they wanted to but....im the only person in my town who knows what an e30 is
btw you should make a sweet sig with both your e30s in it
I won't even let my dad drive my car. I'll let my brother if I'm with him, and occasionally I'll let a friend if I'm with him, but that's rare
yeah, I'll let anyone drive it (well anyone I know).
I dunno, I love them so much I just want to share!!!
maybe I'm crazy, but eh, if letting someone drive on of my cars gets them out of theirs and into a bimmer, then I'm happy.

Stopped in at the shop today... (much work is being done at my friend's shop as this is tax time for me :-( )
Anyways:
Rear subframe bushings have been replaced!
MZ3 shifter is in. It is SHORT, DAMN short. Don't buy a kit ever again, just go to the dealer or pelican or wherever and order one of these. As short as my B+M in my E46 and THAT was short too but 3X the money.
Oil filter and gaskets were being worked on when I left.
Waiting for Muffler from Germany and intake boot from Germany as well.
Have a friday appointment at BMW for an alignment and mount/balance of rims. More pics for you all this weekend!!

Shoot....that thing is coming along. It's good that you're getting it done over the winter. Those guys on the "left" coast have no idea what the other white stuff can do to a nice project.
thanks. yeah NE winters are terrible. My poor recently refinished iX is crying. I am at the car wash like 2 times a week!
Thanks for the props. I'm trying to get this thing done asap. It'd be further along but I can't work on it cause I'm too busy.
I'm paying a buddy to run it through his shop but he's charging me actual time instead of flat rates on projects trying to help me out. hopefully everything goes as planned and there are no delays...
stay tuned...
