I’ve still got the 325 which I’ve had for 29 years now, still going strong.

The M3 is in fine fettle also.

New addition was the E61 M5 Touring which I picked up 8 years ago.
That (I presume) oak garage looks lovely, as do the car’s obvious

Re: Long Time…..

I’m relatively new here, so never met anyone in person, but on the Facebook thing, it drives me mad.
It has literally swooped everything up & put it all in one very crap place. I hate everything about it & wont use it, but that’s my loss perhaps. I won’t be going there though

I think you may have inadvertently purchased the same part that is already attached to your car (behind the rear card)

Possibly the bracket in your picture is an attachment point for a wind defector.
Yes definitely, that’s what I was eluding to in my earlier post.

Re: Screen Trim

Went to work in the car most days last week as it was so nice. Across at my mates bodyshop the windscreen guy turned up, so before you knew it, he had the new trim fitted.
I’d had it months but just not managed to time it right while he was there until now

Re: What Goes Here

Ok having fitted them & drove home I realised they aren’t right, the belt was pulling on my shoulder & would not retract once I got out of the car, in fact they are not that part at all. They are actually already fitted to the car & can be seen in the last pic poking through the rear capping. They a...

Seat Upholstery Colours

My car has blue interior, Uberkaro I’ve seen it called or Plaid, basically I’d call it checked but whatever. My question is, was there more than one shade of the blue? My car has without doubt had a different drivers seat fitted (probably due to the o/s bolster being ripped I’d guess) but it seems a...

Re: What Goes Here

Found a pair on eBay in the US for under a tenner, with about £20 shipping, so happy enough at that.
Let’s see if they want another pound of flesh in taxes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Re: What Goes Here

I assume there should be a seat belt clip holder or similar, any ideas please Part no 72111924741 (left) or 72111924742 (right). You'll also need the screw and washer. http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E30-Cabrio/Europe/325i-M20/R-A/feb1990/browse/restraint_system_and_accessories/front_safety_belt_...

Cabriolet Windows

Can someone tell me, are the door windows meant to drop a fraction when you pull the door handle ? I had an E36 coupe which obviously do that but never owned an E30 until now. It seems odd because when I shut the door the glass does not drop, which then means the fabric roof is under the glass not o...
