Components
Dashboard
The dashboard is a solid foam-and-vinyl panel, moulded to hold all the internal features and controls inside the E30. The dashboard is interchangeable on all models, although for obvious reasons LHD and RHD models are different.
If the vinyl on your dashboard is cracked, or you want to strip your interior, learn more about removing your dashboard.
Instruments
Main article: Instruments
The instruments inside the cabin include the dash cluster, the on-board computer and the check panel.
Seats
Front Seats
While front seats are a standard feature in most cars, a few variants were available for the E30.
The key difference regards tilting; seats fitted to a 4-door or Touring do not have a tilting handle like those inside 2-doors and Cabriolets. However, the seat base of all cars is the same, and all seats can be dismantled and rebuilt to tilt if required.
The physical style of the seat determined bolster height and thigh support; sportier seats are known as Sports Seats for a good reason.
Rear Bench
The rear bench differs on almost all vehicles, and little is interchangeable between models. Rear benches on Tourings, for example, were able to tilt down to lengthen the rear compartment, unlike the fixed versions in 2-door and 4-door saloons.
Rear headrests were not fitted as standard, but were an available option and a popular interior upgrade. Most models require mounts to be fitted inside the rear seats, but these mounts are already in place in all Tourings. Learn more about installing Touring rear headrests
