E30 Zone

Which is the correct first aid kit to have for a 1990 E30 3 series? There's lots advertised on Ebay (mostly E46) and the others never seem to state if they are appropriate for an E30.

Also, is the 318iS model included in the standard E30 owner's handbook, or would I have to get an E46 handbook to cover the iS engine?

Any advice much appreciated. The site's brilliant: a bloody godsend!

Orph

My owner's handbook (01 41 9 782 621) covers the 316i, 318i/touring, 318is, 320i/cabrio/touring, 325i/cabrio/touring, 325iX/touring, 324d, 324td/touring.
First aid kit is a dark grey rectangular box on all my E30s.

Okay, thanks for that, I know what to bid on now. I guess the green first aid boxes must be from the later models then. Cheers.

don't say that, i just bought a green one from Ebay!

is there a specific place for the first aid kit or does it just go in the glovey/boot/door pocket?

Saloon or touring?

A bit off topic, but dont Medi Kits have shelf lives?

saloon mate, i should have mentioned that!

it should fit next to the warngin triangle like this (in a sport anyway)

hmm, dont look like that in myboot!

might be because i have a 325i sport which has the battery in the boot, under that tray.

more than likely, my plastic tray sits inside the space where your battery is. maybe the 1st aid kit sits in that

very likley

they do yes.... as each of the bandages etc have expiry dates after which they may no longer be sterile!

"don't come crying to me when you're lying at the side of the road dying and you've got gangrene cos you didn't buy a new medi kit"

Nothing to do with it being a sport! All the 325i's with the battery in the boot, would have had the 1st aid kit sat on top of the battery cover.

i menat the sport having the battery in the boot, not the location of the first aid kit. or did all the 325i have the battery in "the trunk"

Battery is in the front, pretty sure they've got a lump of concrete in there somewhere though!

Old news my friend!

LOL

not to me it isn't mate, never realised this before.

i knew most of you lot would have already known but it is just something that i just had never noticed before and it isn't exaclty a hot topic of conversation.
