I've only ever seen these 2 items on 1 Bmw I've had.

Were they optional extras and exactly how rare are they?

Fire extingisher could be recharged like others surely? Blinds are not that rare but ones with no speaker holes or original speaker holes are getting thin on the ground, alot have been butchered to fit bigger speakers.

I have an Alpina long range aluminium fuel tank btw, now that is rare. Never seen beige is check before though appart from 1an's.
The brown sport cloth seats that were in a gold 4 door with alpina parts that was for sale must be prtty rare to, never seen brown cloth sport seats.

It goes in the boot between the strut towers, take the total fuel capacity to about 100ltrs iirc. My blind shelf also has original speaker holes but it took a while to find one that wasn't fubared. I now have a spare with no speaker holes but its a bit faded.

Regarding the fire extinguishers i made a comment on a post about the genuine bmw update that is available for the e30.

I am using it on my car.

Brand new bmw e30 fire extinguisher but you must have the old brackets as you need one part of it to join the new parts to.

if anyone wants pics just ask

I have a fire extingisher that I bought off a fellow Zoner. By blind do you meant the ones on the saloons? I have dog guard/load cover that I believe is rare and tweeter pod for the mirrors, also cloth sport seats are pretty rare. So pretty much I couldn't replicate my car if it was stolen written off :cry:

I didn't expect the one I bought to still work I just wanted it . I bought new one that I put in the boot. But once recharged I don't see why the BMW one shouldn't work if required.
