A useful guide, but one with a major error. There are two looms that go behind an E30 dash, and the one that goes around the top and is clipped in place, should be removed with the dash, along with several of the items that connect to it. The whole loom unplugs from the rest of the car at a multi pin plug and socket, next to the accessories socket on the LH side, behind the glove box.
