What's your favourite part you've bought for your E30?

As above. I just bought some door speaker pods I have been looking for over the last 8 years since I saw them on a photo. Only seen them in one other photo and IMO look better than the audioscape items.
Spent the last week watching them hourly on ebay and although paid ridiculous money for what they are I'm happy I have something I've wanted for a long time. Still don't have another E30 yet but it gives me plenty of time to get them retrimmed.

So what's the favourite part you've bought for your E30?

I got the original build sheet for my car three years ago when I signed up, and it says my car had a "Map Light Mirror". It bloody didn't.... until last week

i love them little additions, original parcel shelf speaker grills, the rare tool parts, all the boot extras, one of my fave purchases is probably an original e30 jerry can that sits in the spare wheel, great condition bought for a bargain price of £20 from my next door neighbour

the other month he said "ive got something i found in my lock up clear out you might be interested in" ...awsome

This is a family forum Jim, tales of shagging blind erect , barebacking will not be tolerated unless pics are posted in the kindegarten (quickly

)

The dogs dont like cars

Tried it many times when Fiona says no.

I could probably go have a 'Tank' in there and get a picture, but that would just be weird

A nice set of 15" BBS alloys. In fact, the ones you can see in the pictures above on Rob's Touring.....

This, with illumination. I'd been promising myself one for ages and finally bit the bullet last year. It cost a small fortune but I love it

No mate fits to top of front ashtray.

Folds away like this.

Hardtop for me.
Best free thing I've encountered was being told that you can wedge in a can of fizzy pop behind the ashtray in the centre console and it won't spill with vigorous driving.

My custom built M52B30, or my 40% quaife LSD, or my Recaro LS.
Hard choices.
