You might be able to buy an extinguisher but I dont think you can by one with the E30 seat mounts.
I paid £50 for one, they were only £47 new
 
Correct, the new extinguishers are a different design and don't fit the E30 bracket. The new ones come with a cheap and nasty plastic universal bracket and strap as opposed the the E30's metal and woven fabric strap.
I do have an original extinguisher and bracket in my E30.
I've also got a grey dash/centre console not many of them about.

			I just bought my second extinguisher bracket, fabric strapped/big red button from BMW 2 weeks ago.
You'd be surprised what those crooks have got if you ask.
Also harrass some of the German dealers from time to time and get friends to go collect!

Cool is that one of those covers for the seats for when the roof is down? Like you see on old school cars that don't actually have rooves?

			Given they were made in the Yuppie era of the 80's were they ever factory fitted with a mobile phone kind of thing?
Not made by BMW, but may have been fitted at the factory??
Impress your friends as you chat away on your mobile car phone, just like Magnum!! 
 
I also have the docking station, but no handset!

Used to be mine but now belongs to Cocker (Danny), the kit on it is one of the first ones Zender done for the E30 (best one as well imo) but they done a variaty of kits through out the E30 era - i think they lost the edge abit later on though.
There was a Zender cataloge??? anyone got one of these as it would also be a "Rare" item.
Neil.
PS - there's one of these Zender rear spoilers for sale on Ebay atm - no connection.
