Looks like a melted E30 dash...

But if whoever's it is is happy then fair play for the graft..

Might be nobwank but that guys put a lot of effort into that to get it all working! Even got the smg box in it!,

That wheel must of required the e46 steering column, that climate control I know when I looked into must of required some custom fittings new brackets, and a rewired loom..

It is long he defo spent some time doing that!

It's odd, I quite like that dashboard in the E46. That style from the E38, 39 and 46 is one of the best made and best designed dashboards ever imo.

But it looks shit in an E30 somehow.

I actually think that looks quite neat and I am usually the one who insists on keeping the E30 stock standard in all respects. :eek:

It looks shite mainly because the E30 door cards don't tie in.
