Collection_96. ETK_64_Heating and air conditioning. (part 8) Heater/air conditioner

Finally, the air conditioner can be installed on the car!
But, again but! :) First you need to drill (!!!) the holes for the condensate drain hoses. There are only 3 hoses. There was a factory metal plug under one hose in the body, which I knocked out when I was just disassembling the car. Under the other two hoses, you need to drill holes according to the scheme from the EBA instructions. Was it really that hard to make all three plugs at the factory? :)
We measure 254 mm from the bracket forward, to the motor shield, and 133 mm in each direction. It is not very convenient to do this on a curved surface.
Image

Therefore, just in case, I tried on the lower body of the heater with tubes for draining condensate.
Image

Image

Again, grinding our teeth, we drill two holes with a diameter of 21 mm.
Image

The edges of the holes are primed with zinc primer and painted.
Image

Now you can definitely install it!

Heater/Air Conditioning
Image

Image

Part #1 is the heater/air conditioner unit
Part #2 - M6 nut (07 14 7 134 319) - 5 pcs.
Part No. 3 - damper (64 21 8 042 132) - 1 pc.
Part No. 4 - self-tapping screw ST4,8X13-C (07 11 9 916 813) - 1 pc.
Part No. 5 - spacer washer 5.3 (07 11 9 936 439) - 1 pc.
Part No. 6 - bracket (64 11 1 370 637) - 1 pc.
Part No. 7...No. 11 - are not used. For climate control only.

The ETK does not show the insert plate for the #4 self-tapping screw. It is inserted into the groove on the heater body.
Image

We fix the damper adjustment panel with a red rubber band to a special hook so that it does not sway on the cables and does not interfere.
Image

This is how the condensate drain hoses are installed.
Image

Additional fastening of the air conditioner body to the body.
Image

We insert the hoses into the holes and treat them with wax sealant. Screw the damper into a special bracket on the body.
Image

Image

We install a rubber insert for the radiator tubes, and treat it with a wax sealant.
Image

And, finally, we install the air conditioner unit! It sounds and looks simple, but it's better to do it together. But, thanks to the lack of a windshield, I managed it myself.
Image

We tighten four nuts in the niche of the body.
Image

Then additional fastening in the cabin. We put on the rear hose.
Image

We put on the side hoses for draining the condensate. We connect the side air ducts with the ducts going to the back of the cabin.
Image

Condensate is diverted to the gearbox.
Image

Image

Well, and finally, we connect the air conditioner to the interior wiring through the adapters that I wrote about at the very beginning.
Adapter #2 - turned out a little too long, but not critical.
Image

Adapter No. 3 is very long, only a few centimeters would be enough - I will shorten it. Connects to the motor wiring.
Image

The air conditioner is installed and connected.
In the test mode, I checked - the heater fan is working, the recirculation valves are working, the additional fan is working. It's already good! Next, I will install the tubes, and the compressor, radiator and fan will have to wait until the motor is installed...

Collection_97. ETK_64_Heating and air conditioning. (part 9) Dryer tank/pneumatic switches/small parts. Pipelines

Dryer tank/pneumatic switches/small parts[ /URL]
Image

Image

Part #1 - insulating tape (64 50 1 352 059) is no longer available, so I replaced it with normal thermal insulating tape from a hardware store.
Part #2 - rubber sleeve (64 53 1 372 609)
Part No. 3 - spacer nut ST 6.3 (64 12 1 379 221) - 5 pcs.
Part No. 4 - clamp D=10/6.4 (12 14 1 305 0280 - 2 pcs.
Part No. 5 - clamp D=16/6.4 (12 42 7 840 4060 - 1 pc.
Part #6, #7, #10 - self-tapping screw 4.9X19 (64 50 1 380 494) - 5 pcs.
Part No. 8 - bracket (64 50 1 372 610)
Part No. 9 - sheet nut (16 11 1 152 613) - 1 pc.
Part No. 11 - M6 nut (07 12 9 922 705) - 1 pc.
Part No. 12 - clamp (64 53 1 372 613) - 1 pc.
Part No. 13 - spacer washer 6.4 (07 11 9 931 044) - 1 pc.
Part No. 14 - spring ring B6 (07 11 9 933 082) - 1 pc.
Image
Part No. 15 - gasket (17 11 1 150 1700
Part No. 16 - clamp D=22/6.4 (64 53 1 357 128) - 1 pc.
Part No. 17 - self-tapping screw 4.9X40 (64 50 1 380 496) - 1 pc.
Image
Part #18 - dryer tank (64 53 8 391 025) In my case it is Knecht-Mahle (AD123000S)
Image
I haven't quite figured out the sensors yet, so I bought a few:
Part #19 - safety pneumatic switch (64 53 1 390 070) new for E30, E32, E34 on 4 contacts
Part #20 - safety pneumatic switch (64 53 8 390 971) for E30 on 2 contacts
(64 53 8 390 536) - for E23 with 4 contacts
Image
Part No. 21 - sealing ring. I bought a universal set of rings of different sizes - it's easier and cheaper that way.
Part No. 22...No. 25 - used to fasten early radiators for M20. In my case, they are not used.
Part No. 26, No. 27 - not used.
Part No. 28 - cap (64 53 1 363 569) - 2 pcs.

So, all the fasteners are new, small parts are ready - you can install pipelines.

[URL='http://ru.bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E3 ... lant_lines']Pipes

Image

They did not look very good.
Image

Therefore, first sandblasting.
Image

Then electroplating.
Image

In different years, the numbers of the hoses differ, and there is also a difference in the type of freon. I will probably deal with this directly when refueling the air conditioner. For now, just what I actually have.

Part #1, #2 - not used
Detail No. 3 - compressor-condenser pressure pipeline
Detail No. 4 - condenser-drier pressure pipeline
Detail No. 5 - pressure pipeline drier-double tubes
Detail No. 6 - pressure pipeline double tubes-evaporator
Detail No. 7 - suction pipe evaporator-compressor
Detail #8 - evaporator-compressor suction pipeline

We begin the installation of pipelines by installing a rubber insert in a special hole in the body. The hole was closed with a metal plug - I knocked it out while disassembling the car. So we insert a rubber insert and treat it with a wax sealant. We push tubes No. 6 and No. 7 into it.
Image

We screw these tubes in the cabin to the evaporator valve. A rubber ring of the appropriate size is placed in each tube joint.
Image

We install the bracket for mounting tube #8.
Image

Image

We screw tubes #5 and #8 to tubes #6 and #7, respectively.
Image

We lay them along the right wing and fasten them with clamps.
Image

Image

Two clamps near the hood bracket.
Image

But one collar near the hood shock absorber.
Image

The protective corrugation on tube #8 was torn, so I replaced it. But I had to take a thermocorrugator with a larger diameter so that it would fit through the large nut. Therefore, he fixed the corrugation at the ends with metal ties. We fix the tube with a clamp to the bracket.
Image

We install the dryer in a special hole in the body. The hole was closed with a metal plug - I knocked it out while disassembling the car. Depending on the manufacturer, the dryer can be attached with two or three self-tapping screws. In my case, two.
Image

Image

We install a spacer and a clamp for tube #3.
Image

At this stage, that's all for now. Tubes #3 and #4 will be installed together with the compressor and condenser. Then the dryer and sensors will be connected. But it will be after installing the motor.

Collection_98. ETK_64_Heating and air conditioning. (part 10) Partition of the heating system

It remains to install the cover of the heater niche.

Heating System Partition
Image

Image

Part #1 - partition of the heating system (51 71 1 913 799)
Image
Different motors differ in the number of pins for attaching the motor wiring.
Image
Part #2 - spacer nut ST 3.9 (51 71 1 874 203) - 4 pcs.
Image
Part #3 - sealing gasket (51 71 1 825 972) I replaced it with a sealing tape.
Part No. 4 - self-tapping screw ST3,9X16-C-Z2 (07 11 9 916 808) - 4 pcs.
Part No. 5 - hose (51 73 1 911 369) For draining water from the heater niche.

We insert plastic clips No. 2 into the holes in the body. We put hose No. 5 on special ribs on the body.
Image

In fact, this is quite an important detail - it prevents water from getting under the sound insulation of the motor shield and corrosion of the body underneath it.

Glue the sealing tape and fasten the cover with self-tapping screws.
Image

Later, motor and other underhood wiring will be attached to it.

That's all for the air conditioner.

Let's return to the interior assembly.

Collection_99. ETK_51_Body equipment. Upholstery per meter

So, you can continue to assemble the cabin. Namely - the installation of door linings. I'll start with noise isolation. These materials are ordered by linear meters according to ETK.

Upholstery by the meter
Image

There are many numbers in one position, so I will write briefly, factually.
Detail No. 1 - sound insulation, can be width B=1450MM (51 95 8 101 124) or B=1050MM (51 95 8 103 058). Apparently it's for the front and back doors, respectively. Not available to order. It is installed on the inner side of the door panels. There are two types - paralon on a soft gray base, or on a harder gray base. The first one is of better quality, the paralon on it is preserved in good condition. But more often there is a second one, on which the paralon has almost completely crumbled from old age and only the base itself remains.
Image

Detail No. 1 - noise-insulating coating 1160X700MM ( 51 48 8 165 271) This is a sheet of vibration insulation glued to the door. It is in good condition on all my doors, so I left it as it is.
Image

Detail #1 - artificial leather upholstery. In my case, these are black SCHWARZ door trims (51 92 1 932 925). My front fairings had holes cut out for the speakers, so I bought another whole set in the same color a long time ago. Cleaned both.
Image

Part No. 2 - weight film B=1520MM (51 95 1 924 961). It is available to order, but I consider the price of 55 Euros per meter inappropriate. That's why I bought the same dense film in a hardware store for 2 euros per meter, and double-sided tape! :) First, I cut out the template from sound insulation.
Image

Image

By the way, the film has two layers, so the patterns come out on two doors at once - convenient.
Image

But after trying the film on the door, it became clear that it is too small - you need to cut along the contour of the cladding, and not along the contour of the sound insulation. The second attempt is what is needed..
Image

Glue double-sided tape along the perimeter and edges of the door.
Image

But stick the film on the door so as to close all the openings.
Image

Image

The door is ready for installation of cladding.
By the way, I previously installed gaps on all doors and locks. Quite painstaking work that requires a lot of time and patience! And you definitely need an assistant. I didn't take photos - everything is as per TIS. We start with the rear doors - we level them along the rear wings, using factory gaskets under the hinges with a thickness of 0.5 mm and 1 mm. Then we level the front doors with the back doors. Then we align the front fenders and hood along the front doors. Although, I will display the front fenders and the hood after the engine is installed. It is better to unscrew the brackets of the door locks from the body, and install them after the doors are fully exposed. Then simply adjust the lock. By the way, I did not use the factory technological holes in the body opposite the nuts of the door hinges for their adjustment - somehow it is very inconvenient to do so.

Now soundproofing. On my skins, except for two, it all fell off. That's why I picked up a bunch of these gray base sheets, cleaned them and decided to glue them instead of paralon - felt. The same as under the rear seat, on the middle pillars and under the torpedo. I thought it would be better that way... I bought sheets of felt and started cutting and gluing.
Image

Factory paralon on the left, felt on the right.
Image
Image

It turned out not bad looking.
Image

Glued with polyurethane glue - it holds well.
Image

But not everything turned out so well. The felt is much thicker than the factory paralon, so the trim did not click well on the clips, and the door handle frame did not fit at all. It was necessary to try it on at once, instead of gluing all four skins...
Well, what are you going to do - peel off that felt from the skins. I bought the thinnest paralon of 5mm in a hardware store and started cutting it.
Image

Again, it looked good.
Image

But this time I decided to try on one skin immediately :) The difference in the thickness of the factory and new paralon.
Image

And what do you think? The clips clicked, but the frame of the door handle still does not fit! I struggled all evening, broke two doorknobs in the process, and it won't hold! Fiasco! I wanted the best, but it turned out - as always... :) Time and money wasted...
I spat at this idea and went to look for a whole factory soundproofing at flea markets. Found it, cleaned it. The whole set.
Image

In the photo, one of the front ones is glued, but then I found a whole one.
Image

By the way, while I was looking, I found out that door sound insulation is available not only on a gray basis, but also on white or black. Later it will be necessary to find a set for my blue skins.
Now, finally, you can install the door trim.

Assembly_100. ETK_51_Body equipment. Shelf behind the back seat

Due to technical reasons, the installation of door panels is slightly delayed.
So for now, I decided to install the rear shelf.
Shelf behind the rear seat
Image

Image

Detail #1 - shelf behind the back seat. There were many different types, with different ETK numbers, depending on the year of manufacture, type of seat belts, audio speakers, curtains, brake lights and interior color. But there are three main types - I collected them all :)
Image

Type 1 - up to the year 85 - a flat shelf, under the seat belts of the early type.
Type 2 - 85-87 years - flat shelf, under late-type safety belts
Type 3 - after 87 - shelf with stamping, for late-type seat belts

Type 2 and Type 3 are interchangeable with each other, but not interchangeable with Type 1, due to different seat belt designs. I will write about this later.

Part #2 - bracket (51 46 1 915 535) - 1 pc. For fixing the shelf to the body.
Part No. 3 - outlet nozzle - 4 pcs. Grilles are different for type 1 and types 2 and 3.
Part No. 4 and No. 5 - fasteners for the middle seat belt before 84.
Part #6 and #7 - fasteners for the middle seat belt after 84. On shelf type 1, it is installed on the left, and on shelves of type 2 and 3 - on the right.
Image

Part #8 is an attachment to the shelf, used only for the E30 M3. Photo from the Internet.
Image

The shelf comes complete with noise insulation. We insert clip #2 and screw fasteners #6 and #7 for the middle belt.
Image

We insert grids No. 3. Also pictured are the left and right seat belt covers.
Image

The shelf is ready for installation. But there is also a sun shade in the photo. This is an additional option for the shelf. It is because of it that I install a type 3 shelf, not a type 1, as it should be for an 85.

So,

Assembly_100. ETK_51_Body equipment. Shelf/Sunshade

Shelf/Sunblind
Image

Image

Detail #1 - shelf behind the back seat. The shelf with a built-in blind was type 1 (up to 85 year), or type 3 (after 85 years). Photo from the Internet:
Image

Detail No. 2 - sun shade. For type 1 and 3, it was installed in a special slot in the shelf. On the type 2 shelf, it could simply be screwed from above.
Image

Part No. 3 - left hook (51 46 1 917 381) - 1 pc.
Part No. 4 - right hook (51 46 1 917 382) - 1 pc.
Part No. 5 - bracket (51 46 1 905 393) - 2 pcs. Corresponding part for hooks #3 and #4. Installed in the body.
Image

Curtains for shelf type 1 and type 3 are not interchangeable. They have completely different hooks and corresponding parts for them. For curtain type 1 (before 85), hooks (51 46 1 905 393) were screwed with a self-tapping screw above the rear glass.
Image

And for type 3, above the rear glass, in special holes, corresponding parts for hooks (51 46 1 905 393) were installed.
Image

For comparison, both types of hooks are completely different parts installed above the rear glass.
Image

A shelf with a curtain is ready for installation.
Image

Image

In the photo, the rear speakers are already installed - I will write about them later. There is also a third brake light in the photo. This is another additional option for the back shelf. It was available mainly for the US market.

Assembly_100. ETK_63_Lighting devices. Third brake light

Let's return to the ETK section
Lighting devices

Third stop lamp
Image

Image

Part No. 1 - brake light (63 25 1 385 187)
Part #2 - P21W lamp holder (63 21 8 355 883)

The lanterns were also of two different types. For Type 1 and 2 shelves, the early lamp was mounted on top of the shelf, and for the US market Type 3 shelf, the late lamp was built into the shelf itself, between the grilles. Photo from the Internet.
Image

I have an earlier lantern.
The back cover of the lantern matched the color of the shelf. I also have it gray.
Image

We screw the lamp bracket to the shelf, and remove the wiring connector that I added to the standard wiring. We insert the lamp cartridge block with the reed switch of the lamp control into the lamp housing.
Image

We snap the lantern onto the bracket and install the back cover so that it does not interfere with the sun shade.
We install the rear shelf in the grooves under the glass and fix it with a clip. The lamp should firmly rest on the glass with its rubber stops at the corners.
Image

We insert the buckle of the middle belt into its fastening on the shelf.
Image

But there is a nuance with the side belts - in this case, they are clamped by a shelf, and will perform only a decorative function, since, as I said earlier - due to their different construction, shelves of type 1 and type 3 are not interchangeable!
Image

In my case, there should be a type 1 shelf with a curtain. But, at one time, I found a shelf with a type 3 curtain. I didn't have back straps at all then, so then I installed it without problems.

So, I installed the shelf now temporarily.
First, it will need to be removed to install the ceiling trim and rear glass. After that, I will also install the corresponding parts for the hooks.
Secondly, I have some plans for her "upgrade" in the future. I already wrote earlier that for type 1 and type 2 shelves, there are factory overhead electric sun blinds that are screwed on top of the shelf. It's not easy to find them, although there is a new one on sale now, but the price of $1000 does not suit me :) And they don't look very good either... Also, I want to install an electric curtain from later BMW models in the shelf. And for this, you need a shelf of type 3 - there is more space under it for the location of the electric drive. I have already installed the wiring and the button - I wrote about it recently. I will also redo the holes for the seat belts, as in type 1, so that they are functional. In addition, there are plans for "music". Of course, then the color of the shelf will be black. Or maybe - blue? ;) For "training", I bought another shelf with a curtain, but I will deal with this after the car is completely assembled. And for now - we have what we have! (c)

Assembly_101. ETK_65_Radio receiver

While the "technological pause" on the assembly continues, I will write about my modest collection of original radio receivers and tape recorders! ;)

So, the ETK section Audio, navigation, information systems

Radio receiver
Image

Image

Detail #1 - panel for models 316 and 318, with the central location of the radio receiver.
Detail No. 2 - a panel for other models, with a radio receiver shifted to the left, and a place for a clock or on-board computer, on the right.
Part No. 3 - radio receiver overlay (64 11 1 368 515) It is installed instead of the radio receiver, if it is not included in the car's configuration.
Part No. 4 - plug (64 11 1 368 498) It is installed instead of buttons, if they are not included in the car's configuration.
Details No. 5...No. 16, No. 18 - details of the simplest models of radio receivers and tape recorders. I don't have any of them yet...
Part No. 17 - frame (65 12 1 375 737). For fastening the radio receiver in the panel. But some radio models are installed without this frame.
Image

Part No. 19 - felt strip (65 77 1 377 052) Soft gasket for the rear support of the radio receiver.
Part #20 - extension (65 11 1 372 547) Apparently, this is the same rear support of the radio receiver.
Image

Image

Part No. 21 - rack (65 11 1 370 841) A bracket installed on the heater body. A soft gasket No. 19 is glued to it and an extension No. 20 rests on it.
Parts #22, #23 - nut and washer for the extension. But in fact they are not used.

Radio receiver
Image

Image

Section on installation of the simplest models of radio receivers. I don't have them, only a few parts that are used for them.
Part #1 - frame (65 12 1 375 737). For fastening the radio receiver in the panel. But some radio models are installed without this frame.
Part #3 - antenna adapter. I already wrote about them in the section about the antenna.
Part No. 8, No. 9 - transition wire. There are many types of them for different models of radios, I will write about them later.


Now about those models of radio receivers that I already have. I'm collecting them, maybe someday I'll find the rest of the models ;) Although there are a lot of them in ETK with different numbers, in different sections... it's not very clear, so I'll just write as a matter of fact.

Bavaria Mono Digital radio
Image

Item #3 - Bavaria Digital II radio receiver
Image

Image

Bavaria C radio
Image

Detail #1 - BMW Reverse radio
Image

Image

Bavaria C radio
Image

Detail #3 - Bavaria C Electronic radio
Image

Image

Bavaria C Business radio
Image

Detail #1 - Bavaria C Business radio
Image

Image

Detail #2 - Bavaria C Business RDS radio
Image

Image

My entire collection.
Image

I will install, most likely, one of the last three. Or change all in turn :)

For a complete collection, you still need to find something from the simplest models.
Image

Top cassette Becker Mexico
Image

And Bavaria Electronic CD CD players
Image

Or Bavaria Electronic CD II
Image

There is still an idea to install a CD charger, although it was not available as standard for the E30. But apparently, it was installed as an aftermarket or dealer retrofit. But this is in the long run! ;)

Assembly_102. ETK_65_Radio receiver interference suppression system.

Already decided to finish the ETK section Audio, navigation, information systems

Subsection Radio Interference Suppression System
Image

All details from this subsection are in the corresponding sections on the electrical equipment of the engine. Some of them I have already installed and some will be installed later. So now just a record for general information. All photos of details are from the Internet.

Part No. 1 - kit for suppressing obstacles (65 31 1 286 070). No longer available to order. It includes the "ground" busbars of the generator, and "ground" buses #3.
Image

Part No. 2 - capacitor for suppression of generator interference (12 31 1 356 564). If you order it under BOSCH number 0290800036, its price will be much lower. I will write about it in the generator section.
Image

Part No. 3 - hood "ground" bus (65 31 1 286 068) Already installed with the hood.
Image

Image

Part No. 3 - tire "ground" of the valve cover (65 31 1 286 069). Will be installed together with the motor.

Parts #4, #6 and #7 are some kind of package - "special protection against interference".

Part #4 - 0.47MF interference suppression capacitor (65 31 1 357 878). Judging by the photo, this is an analogue of part #2 for the generator.
Image

Item No. 5 is not used.
Part No. 6 - filter for suppressing interference (65 31 9 055 974). No longer available to order. I do not know where it is installed, to what, and how it is connected. I would be grateful for this information.
Image

Part No. 7 - tire "mass" 20X400MM (65 31 9 055 973). Maybe it's just a "repair" bus, without terminals.
Image

A useful photo from the Internet - all the "mass" tires:
Image

Assembly_102. ETK_65_Transitional wire.

Next subsection Adapter lead
Image

Image

Many different radio models were available as standard for the E30. But all these radios are divided into two types - earlier models with separate audio connectors of the old type, and later models with a new 17-pin audio connector. Accordingly, the factory audio wiring was also of two types, depending on these connectors. In order to make it possible to install any stock radio in the car, without replacing the entire audio wiring, special adapters were developed for different models of radios. There are a lot of them, with different numbers, most of them are no longer available for ordering. Therefore, I will write only about my case. I have audio wiring with a 17-pin connector, and the radios are of both types. Therefore, I need an adapter to change from a 17-pin connector to separate audio connectors.
Part No. 5 - the transition wire of the stereo system (65 12 8 350 189). I made it myself.
Image

In principle, any of these adapters is quite easy to make yourself, having the necessary plugs and their expansion.
Image

1 - 17-pin connector for audio wiring
2 - rear speaker connector
3 - front speaker connector
4 - radio power connector from the ignition (+12V and "ground")
5 - connector for constant power supply of the radio (+12V)
6 - connector for the backlight of the radio
7 - connector for power management of the electric antenna and amplifier
8 - connector for automatic volume control of the radio, depending on the speed of movement

For example, the pinout of my adapter:

Assembly_103. ETK_65_Details of the stereo system

Let's continue about "music".

Stereo system details
Image

Previously, my audio wiring was semi-homemade, from different parts of the original wiring :) The front part is from some newer wiring, to which additional contacts for tweeters are added, the power harness is combined with it into a 17-pin connector, and the back the part is original e30. Such a "custom", but it still worked normally. :)
Image

Although, by default, the wiring of the E30 stereo system should look a little different - I bought it with the speaker terminals cut off - maybe someday I will restore it completely. I will not install it, so I will write about it briefly - just for information.
Image

Detail No. 1 - radio power supply wiring from connector C302
Image
Detail #2 - wiring for the simplest mono radios. I don't have one.
Part No. 3 is a fader regulator, it comes with different contacts, depending on the year of manufacture. On the later wiring, it is missing, as well as mine. Although, I have the regulator button.
Detail No. 4 - a transition wire, different for each radio model - I wrote about them last time.
Detail No. 5 - the front part of the wiring
Detail No. 6 - the rear part of the wiring
Image
Part No. 7 - radio fuse
Detail No. 8 - a power adapter wire, different for each radio model - I wrote about them last time.
Part #9 - speaker 4 OHM 15/20W or 8 OHM/18/20W - 4 pcs.
Detail No. 10 - wiring for automatic volume control (pictured above)
Image
1- radio receiver connector
2 - green connector of the instrument panel
Photo from the Internet - may be in additional insulation.
Image
Image
Part No. 11 - the green connector of the instrument panel (in the photo above). It is installed on special contacts in the instrument panel.
Detail No. 12 - decorative mesh of the speaker. On early cars, all four speakers were installed, and after 1985, only the rear ones.
Details No. 13...17 - speaker mounting details.
Detail No. 18 - tweeter, installed instead of mirror caps, as an additional option to the stereo system.

And I will install the top audio system E30 - SOUND SYSTEM. I will write about this next time.

Assembly_104. ETK_65_Details of the audio system (part 2)

In the sections on wiring, I already wrote about the SOUND SYSTEM wiring - it is completely laid together with other wiring, all its connectors are placed in their places. So, in the second part, I will continue about the installation and connection of its components.

Audio system details
Image

Image

Item No. 1 - SOUND SYSTEM audio system. I don't have it in the "standard" configuration, but with some changes in acoustics.
Detail #2 - fader regulator. It was used until 1989 for earlier radio models. In my case, the wiring is newer, from the Turing, so it is not used.
Detail No. 3 - a transition wire, for different models of radios - I already wrote about it in previous entries.
Part #4 - SOUND SYSTEM wiring harness. In my case it is from Turing, so it has some differences.
Detail #5 - wiring harness for tweeters. It is included in the wiring harness of the "electric package" - I wrote about it in the appropriate section. But you can also buy it separately (61 12 1 375 798) together with the housing of the door wiring connector.
Detail #6, #7 - in my case, these are self-made adapters for parallel connection of tweeters to the contacts of the front speakers.
Image
Part #8 - front speaker, 2 pcs. In my case, these are not standard SOUND SYSTEM speakers for the E30, but speakers with double contacts from the E38. to connect to them the "hands-free" phone system (4Ω/4Ω 40W)
Image
Part #9 - self-tapping screws ST4.8X16 (07 11 9 907 789) for fastening the rear speakers
Part No. 10 - self-tapping screws ST4.2X16 (07 11 9 906 749) for fastening the front speakers
Part #11 - spacer nut ST 4.8 WEISS (63 17 1 367 868) for fastening the front speakers. Apparently, early machines did not use plastic spacer nuts, but metal spacers. At least mine does, which is why I used metal shims.
Part #12 tweeter SOUND SYSTEM 8 Ohm left (65 13 1 377 687)
Part #13 tweeter SOUND SYSTEM 8 Ohm right (65 13 1 377 688)
Part No. 14 - rack (65 11 1 370 841). Support bracket for the radio, installed on the heater body.
Detail No. 15 - felt strip 40X70X0.8MM (65 77 1 377 052). I used a strip of rubber noise insulation.
Detail No. 16...No. 19 - SOUND SYSTEM rear speaker. I still don't have the original SOUND SYSTEM rear speakers, so I left my Clarion speakers temporarily. But since the wiring for the E30 Touring has specific connectors for the rear speakers, we had to make adapters/extensions for them. Speakers are attached through spacers, long screws with nuts.
Image
Part No. 20 - amplifier (65 12 1 375 983)
Image
Part #21 - bracket (65 12 1 380 166) I couldn't find the original separately, so I ordered an exact copy from a teammate. Then electroplating - and as a result, the bracket is no worse than the original one.
Image
Part No. 22 - sheet nut (07 12 9 925 737) - 3 pcs. For mounting the amplifier.
Part No. 23 - bolt M6X12 (07 11 9 915 033) - 1 pc. For mounting the amplifier.

I will install the tape recorder together with the torpedo, but now we are only installing the acoustics.
I started with the front speakers. As I already said, my body does not have holes for plastic pawns, but there are places for metal sheet nuts. We install four of them on each side. In the niche of the speaker we find blue and white one-pin connectors that go to the door to the tweeters. We connect the corresponding blue wiring connector to the blue one, and we connect the adapter to the white one. We connect "+" to the front speaker and tweeter to the two contacts of the adapter. We connect the "-" contact of the wiring to the corresponding contact of the speaker. The front speaker and tweeter are connected in parallel.
We connect the corresponding terminals of the "hands-free" phone wiring to the second pair of contacts of the speaker.
Image

We put the wiring in the niche, fix it with a clamp and screw the speaker with self-tapping screws. We tighten the front lower self-tapping screw already after installing the plastic overlays. Similarly on the left.
Image

Now we install tweeters - instead of mirror caps. But here I had a bad luck! ) Apparently, one contact has already broken from old age...
Image

I already thought that I would have to replace the tweeters with some modern ones, but a teammate suggested restoring them. So I sent them to him and waited for the result. And the result exceeded my expectations! ) In addition to the restored contacts, the capacitors were replaced, new Paralon gaskets under the mesh, the mounting pins were restored on a 3D printer, the speakers and the case were glued. I am very grateful to Dima for this.
Image

To install the tweeters, it was necessary to remove the inner cover with a glass seal. The wiring had to be pulled a little more to the outside so that it was convenient to connect it. We connect the corresponding terminals, insert the pins into the corresponding plastic latches on the door, and press them tightly so that the metal bracket snaps into place.
Image

We install the inner cover with a glass seal, additionally pressing it to the tweeter body. Similarly on the left.
Image

The front speakers are installed and connected.

The rear speakers are attached to the rear shelf. I have a shelf with factory oval cut-outs for SOUND SYSTEM speakers and insert plates to mount them.
Image

Image

It can even be seen from the traces that such speakers were once installed there... but, unfortunately, they did not reach me... Therefore, for now, I will install the usual Clarion speakers, with which I once bought this shelf. Fortunately, they were installed through spacers, so the shelf remained undamaged except for the four holes for mounting these speakers. But this is not critical either - they will be covered by SOUND SYSTEM speaker housings. It remains only to find them at an adequate price! ;)
Well, for now - "we have what we have!" (with)
Image

We connect the adapters/extenders to the wiring and bring them out under the shelf.
Image

Image

We connect the speakers to the corresponding terminals and install the shelf.
Image

I already said that I have certain plans to "upgrade" the regiment. This also applies to acoustics - maybe it will be SOUND SYSTEM acoustics, or maybe it will be an analogue of the top SOUNDBOARD system...
Image

...but it's not accurate! :)

So, all the acoustics are installed and connected. It remains to install and connect the amplifier. To do this, I had to remove the electric antenna, because it was in the way.
We screw the bracket to the amplifier with a bolt. We screw the rear lamp control unit (if available) to the bracket with self-tapping screws, and connect their connectors.
Image

Image

We insert the amplifier into the niche of the rear wing and screw the bracket with self-tapping screws to the place of installation of the control unit of the rear lights.
Image

Image

On the opposite side, the amplifier should be attached with another self-tapping screw, but for some reason there is no hole for it on my body. I don't know why - maybe it wasn't on early cars. I wanted to drill a hole, but there is no access there - the hinge bracket of the trunk lid is in the way - it will be the same without this fastener - it holds up well anyway.
We install the electric antenna in place.
Image

Image

Finally, everything is installed in the trunk (except for the spare wheel), so you can also install the left panel. I wrote about this much earlier, but I will add it here.
We install the skin, put the jack, the wheel stop in place, insert the clip for the wheel wrench into the skin, and fix it there.
Image

Let me remind you - on my body there is an earlier fastening of the key - on the wall of the left pocket. Well, now I can fix even two wheel wrenches! :) I also left those clips, although it is more convenient, as in the photo - it was moved there for a reason.
Image

Everything is ready on the left.
Image

The only thing missing on the right was a new battery. Now it is also in its place - EXIDE Premium 72 Ah
Image

Image

The first aid kit, the emergency stop sign and the lantern are also already in place.
Image

Image

Image

So, the acoustics are installed, everything is assembled in the trunk - we return to the assembly of the interior.

Assembly_105. ETK_51_Body equipment. Front door trim

So, now you can continue to assemble the cabin.
Body equipment

Namely, the installation of door panels. The door is already taped.
We install front door panels.

Front door trim
Image

Image

Part #1 - Front door trim, left, fabric 0211 ANTHRAZIT (51 41 1 967 155) - black houndstooth.
Part #1 - Front door trim, right, fabric 0211 ANTHRAZIT (51 41 1 967 156) - black houndstooth.

This skin was available from 85 to 87 for cars with 6-cylinder engines - it completely corresponds to my current configuration. In my opinion, the houndstooth fabric is one of the best trims for the E30. Although, there were many different options and combinations of textures and colors.

There was even an option with protection of the lower part - for special cars. I don't have one - just for information.
Front door trim
Image

This is a metal overlay that is attached on top of the cladding. No longer available for order. Photo from the Internet.
Image

Image

Part #1 - Protection of the lower part of the front door trim, left (51 41 1 952 005)
Part #1 - Protection of the lower part of the front door trim, right (51 41 1 952 006)

Door pocket
Image

Image

Part #1 - SCHWARZ door pocket, left (51 41 1 911 191) and right (51 41 1 911 192) - black. I already wrote earlier that pockets of different colors in ETK have different numbers, but in fact, on all pockets, regardless of their color, the number for black pockets is indicated. I don't understand why so...
Part #2 - clip (51 41 1 870 718) - 9 pcs. for each front door.
Dial No. 3, No. 4 - a two-part clip. It is more convenient and cheaper to use clips #2.
Part No. 5 - screw M4X12-Z3 (07 11 9 906 813) - 2 pcs. for each front door. In some cases, self-tapping screws can be used instead of screws.
Part No. 6 - spacer washer (51 41 1 805 353) - 2 pcs. for each front door.
Part No. 7 - sleeve D=11MM (51 41 1 911 964) - 1 pc. for each front door. Decorative sleeve for the lock button.
Part #8 - SCHWARZ cap (51 41 1 869 871) - 1 pc. for each front door. Black plug in the opening of the window regulator - used for electric window regulators. There are different colors.
Item #9 - SCHWARZ coin box (51 41 8 110 033) Black coin box, inserted into a pocket. There are different colors. I don't have it yet.

We attach noise insulation to the cladding. We insert the pocket into the grooves on the skin and screw it to the skin. We insert the decorative bushing of the lock button and the window regulator plug. From the inside, we insert 9 clips into the holes in the paneling.
Image

I already wrote that at first I glued the noise insulation from felt, but it turned out to be too thick, so I had to replace it with the original noise insulation from thin paralon.
Image

By the way, I fixed it with staples, without glue - it's easier that way.
Image

Front armrest
Image

Part #1 - front armrest SCHWARZ left (51 41 1 911 181) and right (51 41 1 911 182) Black door handle. There are different colors.

Armrest parts
Image

Image

Part No. 1 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X45 (07 11 9 906 771) - 2 pcs. for each front door. The lower attachment of the armrest.
Part #2 - spacer washer (07 11 9 936 439) - 2 pcs. for each front door.
Part No. 3 - nut (51 41 1 873 255) - 3 pcs. for each front door. Plastic insert in the door.
Part No. 4 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X25 (07 11 9 907 750) - 1 pc. for each front door. Upper fastening of the armrest.
Part No. 5 - SCHWARZ pad (51 41 1 903 734) - 1 pc. only on the front passenger door. Black plug in the armrest. There are different colors.

We snap plastic inserts No. 3 into special holes in the door. It is better to do this before sticking the film on the door. We insert the cladding into the clamp of the inner lining with a glass seal so that the lock pull comes out of the hole of the decorative insert. We align the paneling and fasten all the clips along its perimeter. We insert the armrest into the groove on the pocket, and move it back so that in its upper part it goes behind the door body with its hook. We fasten the armrest with three self-tapping screws, and insert the plug on the right, and the mirror adjustment button on the left. We insert the decorative frame of the door opening handle into the grooves, and move it back as far as it will go. We screw the button onto the lock rod.
Image

Image

Image

The same is true on the left.
We insert a coin into the left (or right) pocket, if there is one;)
The front door panels have been installed. Let's go to the rear ones.

Assembly_106. ETK_51_Body equipment. Rear door trim

The door is already taped.
We install the rear door panels.

Rear door trim
Image

Image

Part #1 - Rear door trim, left, fabric 0211 ANTHRAZIT (51 42 1 967 179) - black houndstooth.
Part #1 - Rear door trim, right, fabric 0211 ANTHRAZIT (51 42 1 967 180) - black houndstooth.

This skin was available from 85 to 87 for cars with 6-cylinder engines - it completely corresponds to my current configuration. In my opinion, the houndstooth fabric is one of the best trims for the E30. Although, there were many different options and combinations of textures and colors.

Door Lining Details
Image

Image

Detail No. 1, No. 2 - clip from two parts. It is more convenient and cheaper to use clips #3.
Part No. 3 - clip (51 41 1 870 718) - 10 pcs. for each back door.
Part #4 - sleeve D=11MM (51 41 1 911 964) - 1 pc. for each back door. Decorative sleeve for the lock button.
Part No. 5 - SCHWARZ cap (51 41 1 869 871) - 1 pc. for each back door. Black plug in the opening of the window regulator - used for electric window regulators. There are different colors. Plugs of different colors in ETK have different numbers, but in fact the black plug shows a number (51 41 1 869 870), which is not in ETK at all. I don't understand why so...
By the way, about plugs. I had them on the front door before, so I just put them in their place there. I used to have manual windows on the rear doors and it turned out that the cap wouldn't fit in those holes. On the left - the front cladding, on the right - the rear.
Image

To install the plug, you need to enlarge the hole in the cladding along the contour of the small holes. Why didn't they make a plug according to the size of the factory hole? Because then it will rest against the housing of the electric drive. And so she becomes around him.
Image

Image

Although, apparently, this is relevant only for "cable" electric windows.
I bought a couple of plugs for the rear trim a long time ago, but as it turns out they are not the original plugs. Outwardly, they are the same, but for them you need to make even larger holes.
Image

Image

Therefore, I had to buy another pair of original plugs. We cut a hole and install it.
Image

Image

Image

By the way, for the window regulator button, you also need to cut a rectangular hole in the panel according to the factory markings.

I already wrote that at first I glued the noise insulation from felt, but it turned out to be too thick, so I had to replace it with the original noise insulation from thin paralon.
By the way, I fixed it with staples, without glue - it's easier that way.
Image

Rear armrest
Image

Image

Part #1 - rear armrest SCHWARZ left (51 42 1 916 545) and right (51 42 1 916 546) Black door handle. There are different colors.
Part #2 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X45 (07 11 9 906 771) - 2 pcs. for each back door. Armrest attachment.
Part No. 3 - spacer washer (07 11 9 931 044) - 2 pcs. for each back door.
Part No. 4 - nut (51 41 1 873 255) - 2 pcs. for each back door. Plastic insert in the door.
Part No. 5 - self-tapping screw ST3.5X16 (07 11 9 907 783) - 1 pc. for each back door.
Part No. 6 - spacer washer (51 41 1 805 353) - 1 pc. for each back door.

We attach noise insulation to the cladding. We screw the armrest to the paneling with one self-tapping screw. We insert the decorative bushing of the lock button and the window regulator plug. From the inside, we insert 10 clips into the holes in the paneling.
Image

We snap plastic inserts No. 4 into special holes in the door. It is better to do this before sticking the film on the door. We insert the cladding into the clamp of the inner lining with a glass seal so that the lock pull comes out of the hole of the decorative insert. We pull out the connector of the window regulator button through the hole in the trim, align the trim and fasten all the clips along its perimeter. We connect the button and install it in the hole. Align and fasten the armrest with two self-tapping screws. We insert the decorative frame of the door opening handle into the grooves, and move it back as far as it will go. We screw the button onto the lock rod (will do it later after installing one interesting thing ;) ).
Image

Image

Image

The same is true on the left.
The rear door panels are installed.
On the sides, it remains to install only the plastic casings of the front speakers.

Assembly_107. ETK_51_Body equipment. Side paneling of the footwell

So, only the plastic covers of the front speakers remained to be installed on the sides. Everything is very simple here, but in ETK, for some reason, two almost identical divisions are dedicated to this.
Legroom Side Trim
Legroom Side Trim
Image

Image

Part #1 - ANTHRAZIT front side trim left (51 43 1 942 971) and right (51 43 1 942 972). Black plastic cladding. There are different colors.
Part #2 - self-tapping screw ST4,2X16 (07 11 9 906 749) - 2 pcs.
Part #3 - spacer nut ST 4.8 WEISS (63 17 1 367 868) - 2 pcs. Plastic insert nut. In my case, they are not used - metal sheet nuts are used instead.

Before 85, these covers were made of the same fabric as the carpet on the floor and were simply glued to the body. At the same time, the front speakers were placed on top of the cladding and covered with the same nets as the rear speakers. Instead of plastic spacer nuts, metal sheet nuts were used to fasten the speakers. Photo from the Internet, for example:
Image

Image

Image

Since I have an original 84 car, and in the assembly I adhere to the 85 configuration, the speakers and trims are attached to metal sheet nuts, and not to plastic spacer nuts (#3). And the skins themselves are of the 1985 model - black plastic overlays that also serve as speaker grilles.
Image

The casing is attached together with the speaker, but only on one lower front self-tapping screw.
Image

I cleaned and glued felt noise insulation on them. We remove the door seal, install and fasten the paneling, then press it along the contour of the door with a door seal.
Image

On the left, it is the same, but you still need to first remove the hood opening handle, install the trim, and screw the handle in place.

So, the door is completely assembled, all side panels are installed.
Image

I'm waiting for a new ceiling, I started installing an electric sunroof.

Assembly_108. ETK_54_Luke with pod.-sdv. lid and glass top. Lifting-sliding hatch cover/Hatch frame

So, I'm starting to assemble the hatch and ceiling trim. They are related to each other, so there must be a certain sequence in their assembly.
I have already written about the installation of sound insulation and drainage hoses of the hatch. I will continue about the hatch itself.
Hatch with pod.-sdv. lid and glass top

First, you need to prepare the hatch cover and its frame.
Lifting-sliding hatch cover/Hatch frame
Image

Image

Part #1 - cover (54 12 1 906 710) Covers very often rust in the place of attachment and along the contour under the seal. My lid is relatively well preserved. Although I bought another cover, mine turned out to be in better condition. Therefore, a part of the rib from the donor cover was simply welded between the side fasteners in my cover. The sound insulation was also preserved in normal condition - that's how I left it.
Image

Part No. 2 - hatch perimeter seal L=2580MM (54 12 1 903 725) Either seal No. 2 or two-piece seals No. 3 and No. 4 may be installed. It is not clear what it depends on, maybe it just depends on stock availability. In my case, the seal is made of two parts.
Part No. 3 - front hatch cover seal L=930MM (54 12 8 106 928)
Part No. 4 - rear hatch cover seal L=1650MM ( 54 12 1 906 999)
Image

The seal is simply put on the rib along the perimeter of the cover. It has a "velvet" surface, but it has almost completely worn off. You can order a new one, but it costs a lot. And even a new seal will not be airtight. And it shouldn't be - it just closes the gap between the hatch and the roof, and in any case lets water through. That is why the hatch drainage system is provided in the body. So, my seal is in normal condition, so I left it. But in addition, the place of its landing was treated with a wax sealant in order to protect the cover from corrosion in the future.
The cover is ready for installation, but will be installed, of course, after the hatch mechanism is installed.

Now we will prepare the frame of the hatch with the cladding.
Image

Part No. 5 - hatch frame (54 12 1 906 686)
Part #6 - for some reason it is not indicated in the ETK, but apparently it is the cover of the hatch. There can be three colors:
GRAU - gray
QUARZ - light beige, for the Edition configuration
ANTHRAZIT - black, for M-Technic equipment
Detail No. 7 (No. 5+No. 6) is a ceiling frame with fabric lining.
Mine was grey, but I painted it black.
Image
Image
At first it was fine, but then it partially lost its color. Therefore, the skin will be new, but more on that later.
Part No. 8 - bracket (54 12 1 848 635) - 6 pcs. For attaching the frame to the hatch cover. My lid also had anti-squeak spacers on the staples, which are not listed in the ETK.
Image
Part #9 - connecting element left (54 12 1 857 141) and right (54 12 1 857 142). For fastening the drainage bar to the frame.
Part No. 10 - hollow rivet A3X0.5X6-ST (07 11 9 949 614) - 2 pcs. No longer available to order. Replaced them with regular 3.2x6 rivets.
Image
Part No. 11 - cracker (54 12 1 933 905) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 12 - drain bar (54 12 1 837 094)
Part No. 13 - hollow rivet A3X0.5X4-ST (07 11 9 949 613) - 2 pcs. No longer available to order.
Slat assembly with riveted crackers (№11+№12+№13).
Image
Part No. 14 - support bracket (54 12 1 934 933) - 2 pcs.
Image

Image

The support brackets are put on the bar.
Image

In this way:
Image

They are joined by tractions No. 9 and No. 10. But first you need to rivet them to the frame. In turn, this can be done only after installing the cladding. That's the sequence.
We install brackets with spacers in the frame.
Image

More nuances about the frame itself. The photo shows three rubber parts that are not specified in the ETK - they come as one part together with the frame. Before painting, I removed them, then I glued them in place.
In the back part from above - a round rubber cord.
Image

Image

In the front and back part from the bottom - rubber linings.
Image

So, the frame is ready to install the cladding.

Assembly_109. ETK_51_Body equipment. Roof cladding, ceiling panel, handrail (Part 1)

To continue installing the hatch mechanism, you must first install the ceiling lining, because it is pressed around the perimeter of the hatch by its parts.
But, of course, the drive platform and the guide tubes of the cables must be installed before the cladding is installed. Therefore, it is already in the photo, but I will write about it next time. In fact, as I already said, the hatch and the ceiling are installed together.
But now we will talk only about the ceiling lining.
Body equipment

Roof trim, headliner, handrail
Image

Image

Part No. 1 - front ceiling overlay (51 44 1 884 197). Available for cars without a sunroof, with a manual sunroof and with an electric sunroof. In addition, for cars with and without an on-board control system unit. There are many options for combinations.
I have a top option - for an electric sunroof, and with an on-board control system unit. In good condition, but without one side mount.
Image

These plastic brackets are not listed in the ETK and come with the overlay. Therefore, they had to be printed on a 3D printer and glued.
Image

I also glued the cracks in the overlay and reinforced these places with glass mesh.
Image

Part #2 - ANTHRAZIT sunroof electric drive cover (51 44 1 864 536). Black plastic plug, only for electric sunroof. In mine, someone glued an additional lamp shade.
Image

Image

It wasn't bad, but I replaced this plug with the third salon lamp - it's perfect. I will show after installation.

Part #3 - shield (51 44 1 900 133). Rubber insert for interior mirror. It only has one number, I bought a new one, but it physically won't fit on the thick leg of the mirror with individual card reader lights. I don't understand how to install it... except to cut it. If someone has such a mirror, is this a regular insert, or maybe some specific one?
Image

Part #4 - additional skin, used only for E30 M3. It is not used in others.
Detail No. 5 - ceiling paneling with a hatch. There can be three colors:
GRAU - gray
QUARZ - light beige, for the Edition configuration
ANTHRAZIT - black, for M-Technic equipment
I cleaned my gray trim, but it didn't wash off, so I decided to paint it black. At first it was fine, but after it lay like that for several years, the color was partially lost, some spots appeared, and the appearance became even worse than it was before. :)
Image

Detail No. 6 - black fabric for covering the ceiling. No longer available to order. So I picked up a similar textured black fabric and ordered a new trim based on the patterns from my old trim.
Image

For color comparison :)
Image

Part No. 7 - wire arc for hatch (54 12 1 904 657) - 1 pc. For cars without a hatch (51 44 1 888 167) - 3 pcs.
Part No. 8 - rear wire arch (51 44 1 916 040) - 1 pc. It consists of two parts - an arc and a tip.
Image
Part No. 9 - tip (51 44 1 913 099) - 2 pcs. Rubber insert. For cars without a hatch - 6 pcs.
Part No. 10 - tip (51 44 1 916 081) - 2 pcs. Rubber insert. In fact, it is absolutely similar to No. 9.
Part #11 - not used.
Part No. 12 - handrail (51 16 1 888 099) - 3 pcs. Installed on passenger seats. The back ones have a hook for things. But it is not listed in ETK. Each handrail has two decorative covers, which are also not specified in the ETK.
Part No. 13 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X25 (07 11 9 907 750) - 8 pcs. For rear handrails.
Part No. 13 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X19 (07 11 9 907 790) - 4 pcs. For the front passenger handrail.
Part No. 14 - gasket (51 16 1 807 239) - 2 pcs. Black thin spacers for the front passenger handrail.
Part No. 14 - gasket (51 16 1 911 179) - 4 pcs. White thick spacers for rear handrails.
Part No. 15 - self-tapping screw ST3.9X28 (07 11 9 907 931) - 2 pcs. For fixing the ceiling lining (#1)
Part No. 16 - sheet nut ST3.9X28 (51 13 1 914 097) - 2 pcs. For fixing the ceiling lining (#1)

We install the spacers for the handrails - they simply snap into the holes in the body.
Black thin ones for the front handrail
Image

The white ones are thick for the back rails. We also insert rubber inserts for wire arches at the back.
Image

You can start installing the ceiling covering.
But there is one more addition. I wrote about the installation of sound insulation of the hatch a long time ago. So, during this time, it sagged a little, so I decided to remove it and slightly strengthen the attachment points and seal the cracks in it with polymer glue with glass mesh. I additionally glued double-sided tape around the perimeter.
Image

I installed it - now it holds much better, and it will not sag and create extraneous sounds while driving.
Image

Now everything is definitely ready to install the ceiling covering.

Assembly_109. ETK_51_Body equipment. Roof cladding, ceiling panel, handrail (part 2)

Now about the actual installation of the ceiling covering.
So, the paneling is sewn according to the patterns from my old paneling, but with a little margin around the perimeter - just in case! ;) Especially since I'm doing it for the first time. Usually, they say that you need an assistant to pull the skin from two sides at the same time, but I managed it myself. It turned out that it is not as difficult as it seems! ;)
For installation, you need fabric glue and several thin brushes. I bought Mastek EUROFIX 122 glue - I am very satisfied with it - it hardens quickly and holds firmly. But it leaves almost no chance for a mistake - it will be problematic to peel it off... :) The fabric is lined with paralon, so I applied the glue in two layers. Half a can was enough.
You also need office binders - at least 25-30 pieces, sharp scissors and a marker.
Image

Since I am doing this for the first time, I started with the simplest thing - covering the hatch frame. We put the frame on the fabric blank, align it, wrap the edges of the fabric, trim it if necessary, and glue it - everything is simple! :) First the middle ribs, then the front and back, then the sides. You need to make two cuts at the corners - it is more convenient to glue the outer corners.
Image

Now you can rivet the pulls of the drainage bar - I wrote about it earlier.
Image

It is important not to confuse the left and right rods and install them correctly. Exactly:
Image

Image

The covering of the hatch frame is ready for installation. But it will be installed together with the hatch mechanism.
Image

Finally, we begin to install the ceiling lining. We insert the wire arches into the cladding, and install the front arch into the rubber tips.
Image

Image

We "hang" the paneling and align it in the center of the cabin.
Image

On the spot, we make two slits in the cladding opposite the metal brackets. We put the cladding on the brackets together with the arch, and press the brackets to the body.
Image

Image

The back arch consists of two parts - the arch and the tip.
Image

Why this is done - I do not really understand. It would probably be easier to just make an arc, like the front one.
On one side, insert the arc into the tip.
Image

On the other hand, we put the metal tip on the arc and insert it into the rubber tip.
Image

We align the arc so that it falls into the groove on the noise insulation, we align the paneling in the center of the cabin.
Image

We stretch the cladding over the roof, level it along the perimeter, and fasten it with binders.
Image

Image

We start gluing with the rear glass - the top and sides.
Image

Then the rear door - on one side we fix the paneling with binders, and on the other side we stretch, cut and glue, pressing with binders.
Image

Image

The glue hardens quite quickly, so after 5-7 minutes, the binders can be removed and the paneling can be pressed with a sealant.
Image

Now, on the opposite side, we pull, cut and glue, pressing with binders.
Image

Next, we pull the back part of the hatch. It is more difficult to glue the inner corners than the outer corners on the lid lining - gaps remain between the cuts. Therefore, so that the yellow noise insulation was not visible, I glued black anti-squeak strips to the corners. By the way, several very large binders are needed to fix the cladding at these corners.
Image

We pull and glue. In such places, the binders must be removed quickly, or they should not be used at all - so that they do not leave traces on the visible surface of the fabric.
Image

Now we tighten the paneling on the front doors, similarly to the rear doors.
Image

Then we glue on the top of the windshield. After that, we tighten the sides of the hatch and its corners. The corners are the most difficult part - you need to pull them so as to close the visible part, and at the same time not tear the fabric along its cut. Very neatly.
Image

Done!
Image

Little things remained. We cut off the remains on the back and windshield.
Image

Image

We install everything that is placed on top of the cladding. The main thing here is not to miss a slot! :)
We screw the front handrail.
Image

We fasten the rear handrails and install the interior light shades. It is better to make the slots H-shaped. Having previously checked a hundred times! :)
Image

Fasten the rear seat belts.
Image

We install hooks for sun blinds. It is better to make the slots H-shaped. Having previously checked a hundred times! :)
Image

The rear shelf is back in place, the curtain now rises.
Image

Image

The last cut is for the salon mirror, but it is not so critical here - it is closed by the front lining of the ceiling.
Image

By the way, the cover can be installed only after the installation and adjustment of the drive mechanism and hatch cables, so it has not been installed yet.

In general, in my opinion, it turned out quite well. Especially for the first time! :)
Image

Image

Together with the covering of the cover - just put it on top for now.
Image

So, the ceiling paneling is installed. Now you can install the hatch mechanism and the windshield and rear glass. Next time I will write about the hatch.

Assembly_111. ETK_54_Hatch with sub.-ext. lid and glass top. Electric sunroof control

Control pod.-zdv.kr. electric hatch
Image

Image

Part No. 1 - hatch electric drive reducer (54 12 1 874 871)
Image
Image
Part #2 - screw M5X25 (07 11 9 906 4160 - 3 pcs.
Part #3 - washer B5 (07 11 9 932 047) - 3 pcs.

Part #5 - BLAU microswitch (61 31 1 369 184). It is riveted to the gearbox housing from the factory.
Part No. 6 - emergency electric hatch drive (54 12 7 199 322)

Maybe I didn't search well, but I didn't find a single meaningful topic on the Internet about installing a hatch. Therefore, I will write in great detail, there will be many photos, and probably several parts.
I have already said that the installation of the hatch is connected with the installation of the ceiling lining. First, you need to install an electric drive with tubes for cables.
Image

The tubes are screwed with self-tapping screws from the middle of the cabin. The dead end of the tube is screwed to a special bracket, into the inlet tube - to the niche of the hatch.
Image

The inlet tube should come out on the cable rail plate.
Image

The metal platform is screwed to the body from the front with two self-tapping screws in the built-in parts, and from the back with three self-tapping screws directly into the body.
Image

And then I realized that I would not be able to fasten the gearbox with standard bolts - there were no threads on two holes. I didn't notice it right away. After removing these parts and looking closely, I realized that the plate and tubes are one part that needs to be riveted together. Someone drilled the thread in the two holes for something, and it will not be possible to restore it on a thin plate. Threaded rivets will interfere with the tight fit of the plate. So I installed two studs from bolts. By the way, the photo shows a metal elastic gasket under the gearbox gear, which is not specified in the ETK. It is important not to lose it.
Image

Riveted the plate to the tubes, as it was from the factory.
Image

Now this is one part to which the gearbox is screwed - as it should be.
Image

In addition to the gearbox, a relay is also installed on the plate. By the way, the relay is specific.
Image

Image

Image

Color marking of contacts, according to the color of the wire, is convenient, it's the first time I've seen this.
Image

But under it there is also the usual marking of contacts.
Image

We put the lock nut and screw the relay with a self-tapping screw.
Image

Image

Screw the gearbox to the plate. In my case, in the center with a standard bolt, and on the sides - with nuts to the installed studs.
Image

The drive is assembled and ready for installation on the car.
Image

Image

"Custom" fastening with pins from bolts is a little inconvenient, but "we have what we have" - the main thing that holds well. By the way, I glued strips of "anti-squeak" between the tubes and the plate, as it was from the factory.
Image

So, I screw the tubes and the plate with the gearbox to the body again.
Image

On the left, a hose is put on the top tube - probably so that it does not rub against the body.
Image

We fasten the plate with the gearbox with self-tapping screws.
Image

We tuck the wiring from the gearbox to the button behind the plate.
Image

We lead the wiring to the button through a special cutout in the plate. We connect all the connectors of the gearbox, limit switch and relay. We fasten the mass terminal with an M6 bolt to a special bracket on the body.
Image

Now you need to lay the wiring under the torpedo, where it is connected to the wiring of the electric windows. Special clips (61 13 1 370 742) - 9 pcs.
Image

Together with the wiring of the electric sunroof, we fix the wiring of the mirror with lamps for reading maps, and the wiring of the home-made front illumination of the interior.
Image

Three clips in special holes on the roof.
Image

And six clips on the front rack.
Image

In addition to this wiring, it is necessary to lay the wiring of the on-board control system, but it will not physically fit into these clips. Therefore, as in the left threshold, the harnesses that did not fit into the standard clips were secured with ties.
Image

Image

We close the wiring with a rack overlay.
Image

The sunroof electric drive and its wiring are installed - now you can cover them with the ceiling lining. Before that, you should not install the hatch mechanism, as its parts must press the edges of the cladding around the perimeter of the hatch.

Assembly_110. ETK_54_Hatch with sub.-ext. lid and glass top. Details of the hatch with a lifting and sliding cover (part 2)

So, after installing the ceiling paneling, the hatch niche looks like this - the cable tubes are removed, the edges of the paneling are glued, but they still need to be pressed by the hatch parts.
Image

Black non-hardening sealant and special original grease for hatches RHF 1 (83 19 2 157 321) are used to install the hatch mechanism. I used almost a third of the sealant, although probably too much - it could have been less. Two 20 g bags of grease were enough - there was still quite a lot of grease.
Image

While cleaning and painting parts, one cracker (54 12 1 843 424) on the slider broke - replaced both of them. They are simply taken off tightly and put on the same way.
Image

On hatches after 85, these crackers have a different design - on two axes at once, instead of a round roller.

Before starting the installation, we lubricate the grooves of the rails, which will then be inaccessible under the roof. We apply a non-hardening sealant to the body and to the plates and rails.
Image

Image

Image

We first install the plate, pressing it to the ceiling lining. And we install a rail on it. The rear end of the rail must be fixed inside the roof niche. At the same time, the front end is placed under the tube for the cable. We fix them in the back part with a self-tapping screw.
Image

We unscrew the gearbox, and lubricate the place where it lands on the cables.
Image

Lubricate the cable and grooves on the rail, insert the cable into the tube.
Image

We insert the cable into the tube and insert the crackers on the link and on the slider into the groove of the rail. Cover the place where the cable tube exits with sealant.
Image

So that the sealant does not get on the cable through the holes in the upper plate, we glue them with adhesive tape.
Image

Cover the cable with a plate and fasten it with four self-tapping screws.
Image
We fasten the plate for the position of the "ventilation" hatch with two screws.
Image

We check by moving the slider manually.
Image

And then I remember that I did not install the drainage bar!! )) Fiasco! Sorting out...
Image

First, we insert the drainage bar into the groove - just like in the photo! Through it, water from the rear face of the hatch is diverted in both directions, to the drain.
Image

And then we already insert the cable, slider and pulley into the grooves, close it with the top plate, as written above. We push the plank deeper into the niche so that it does not interfere.
Image

Similarly, we collect on the other side.
Image

We install the back pressure bar on the sealant.
Image

We set the sliders on both sides to the same level. Lubricate the cables for landing the gearbox gear.
Image

The hatch mechanism is installed, it remains to adjust it and install the hatch cover.

Assembly_110. ETK_54_Hatch with sub.-ext. lid and glass top. Details of the hatch with a lifting and sliding cover (part 3)

I have heard more than once that if the hatch cover is not installed correctly, it can be scratched when closing... Anyway, I prepared myself just in case! :)
Image

Image

It was possible not to paste over the contour - there is still a rubber seal there. Then he removed that tape.
Manually on both sides, we install the mechanism in the "ventilation" position, level the drainage bar.
Image

We put the lining of the hatch cover.
Image

We fasten its rods to the drainage bar on both sides - just snap it.
Image

Image

The slider roller will have to go into the groove on the skin.
Image

But it will have to be done later. For now, we push the cladding into the roof niche so that it does not interfere.
Image

The hatch cover is screwed to the curtain with three bolts on each side.
Image

We put the cover and fasten it without tightening the bolts.
Image

Image

Manually lower it to the "closed" position. According to the instructions, the hatch cover should be placed so that it is 1 mm below the roof level at the front, and 1 mm above the roof level at the back. The right side was exposed without any problems. But on the left, where the lid was boiled - a fiasco! Either the insert between the fasteners was welded higher than necessary, or the cover "came" from welding... But it became an arc... This can be seen in the photo:
Image

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't set it up properly... So, I put it as it turned out... In the "closed" position.

The gearbox has three positions on the limit switch:
"open" - a long stroke of the gear clockwise
"ventilation" - a short turn of the gear counterclockwise
"closed" is the middle position.
Use the button to set it to the middle position - "closed". Such a scheme :)
Image

In this position, we screw the gearbox, and the first test gave the following result:
Image

The "ventilation" is normal, but when opening and closing the lid clings to the roof with its "hump". It's good that I sealed the lid with masking tape! There are no scratches. Lowered the cover on the left as far as possible - after that it stopped sticking to the roof. But now both left corners are much below the level of the roof... That's such bullshit... :( I don't know what to do... I'll probably look for another whole cover... but that's a problem... Well, that's it... Let's continue!
We pull out the paneling from the niche, put its rear grooves on the rollers of the slider.
Image

Image

Now we fasten the clips on the front face of the skin.
Image

Image

We close the hatch.
Image

Image

"Airing".
Image

We open the hatch.
Image

The reducer is in place, it can be covered with the front panel, which I wrote about in the section on the ceiling lining.
On the sides, it is fixed with self-tapping screws through the niche of the hatch into special brackets.
Image

Image

The edge of the panel cladding is pressed with the front pressure bar, on a non-hardening sealant.
Image

We screw the bar.
Image

Image

WEBASTO is the brand name of the hatch manufacturer.
Image

On the sides of the edges of the paneling, the panels are wound under the door seal. Near the windshield, the panel is screwed together with the sun visors. I will write about them later.
Image

Finally, the sunroof and headliner are installed!

Assembly_112. ETK_51_Body equipment. Sun Visor

To finish everything with the ceiling, I will write about sun visors. For some reason, ETK has two identical sections about them.
Sun visor
Sun visor
Image

Image

Detail #1 - left and right sun visor. There are many different numbers in ETK, but as far as I know, the main differences were in color:
QUARZ - light beige, standard and Edition
ANTHRAZIT - black, for M-Technic equipment and for the front ceiling panel.
Also, the visors differ in shape for cars with and without an on-board diagnostic system. The latter have a protrusion that additionally closes the space above the interior mirror. There is a mirror on the inside of the right passenger visor.
In my case - black visors for the ceiling panel with an on-board diagnostic system. I'm not sure, but judging by the sticker mark on the driver's visor, it's possible they're from a convertible. There was a sticker with instructions for using the folding roof. On the sedans, there was just a clean visor, if I'm not mistaken.

Part #2 - ANTHRAZIT bracket (51 16 1 927 473) - 2 pcs. Black plastic bracket. Or beige (51 16 1 965 779). On later models it was black with plugs for self-tapping screws (51 16 8 243 576).
Part No. 3 - self-tapping screw ST4.8X19 (07 11 9 902 483) - 8 pcs.

We screw the brackets on the sides of the interior mirror, and the visors on the edges of the front ceiling panel.
Image

Image

Earlier, I already wrote about the home-made third salon ceiling - it perfectly replaces the electric sunroof drive plug. And it is more useful than a plug.
Image

Although, now I also have lamps for reading maps in the mirror. Now there is enough light in the front part of the cabin as well.
Image

By the way, you can see the mark from the sticker on the driver's visor. Is it from a convertible, or is there supposed to be some kind of pocket or something?

If you noticed, you can already see the glass in the photo - more about it later.

UPD:
A small addition about sun visors.
I talked to the owners of convertibles - and it seems that this visor is from a convertible - there was a transparent pocket in which was enclosed an instruction with a scheme for using the soft roof on a convertible. Photo from the Internet:
Image

There was no such pocket on sedans. But, if it was already there, then I will try to restore it somehow. There will be a part of the cabriolet in the sedan! :)

Collection_113. ETK_51_Body equipment. Glazing, additional elements

Finally, everything is ready to install the front and rear glass! First, we install rubber seals.
Glazing, additional elements
Image

Front
Image

Posterior
Image

Part No. 1 - windshield seal (51 31 1 913 887). For before restyling machines. I don't know what the differences are after restyling. I heard that there are gaskets with drainage holes in the lower corners. I don't have them. Perhaps this is the difference...
Part #2 - SCHWARZ decorative strip (51 31 1 968 445). Black "lock" of the seal, for the "shadow line" option. The basic configuration included chrome (51 31 1 884 402)
Part #3 - SCHWARZ cuff (51 31 1 906 604). Black overlay on the "lock" joint of the seal, for the "shadow line" option. In the basic configuration there was chrome CHROM (51 31 1 884 401)
Part No. 4 - rear window seal (51 31 1 913 888). For before restyling machines. I don't know what the differences are after restyling.
Detail No. 5 - upper decorative bar SCHWARZ (51 31 1 940 235). Black "lock" of the seal, for the "shadow line" option. The basic configuration included chrome (51 31 1 884 409)
Detail No. 6 - SCHWARZ lower decorative strip (51 31 1 940 275). Black "lock" of the seal, for the "shadow line" option. In the basic configuration there was chrome CHROM (51 31 1 884 410)
Part #7 - SCHWARZ cuff (51 31 1 940 279) - 2 pcs. Black corner cover on the "lock" joint of the seal, for the "shadow line" option. In the basic configuration there was chrome CHROM (51 31 1 884 408)

The seals are intact, in good condition, so I thoroughly washed them of dirt, cleaned of old sealant and treated with silicone. From the factory, they were installed on the lower face and upper corners on a non-hardening sealant covered with a thin film - so that the sealant does not stick to the sealant. This sealant and film are not listed in the ETK, so I replaced them with materials at hand - similar butyl rubber tape from the hardware store, and regular disposable thin bags! :)
Image

Butylrubber tape 1x15 mm thick
Image

Given that the seals and their "locks" are no longer new, I decided to "play it safe" - I glued the tape not only on the bottom and in the upper corners, but around the entire perimeter of the window. The tape turned out to be thinner than the factory tape, so I taped it in two layers. The first layer is along the rib and wrapped it on both sides of the rib. The second layer is on the outer surface of the rib. The non-hardening sealant of the tape is very sticky to the hands, so it is better to glue it with wet hands.
Image

Then we cut the bag into narrow strips and glue them on top of the butyl rubber tape.
Image

I took disposable bags, the thinnest that were in the store. One and a half bags were enough for both glasses :) A very thin film does not allow the sealant to stick, and at the same time does not interfere with the deformation of the sealant for good sealing. At the same time, the glass seal is easily removed, if necessary.

We put and align the seal.
Image

done
Image

The "lock", of course, will be installed after the glass is installed.

Similarly in front.
But there is one nuance - it is important not to seal the drainage holes in the lower corners of the windshield. It is in these places, due to the lack of drainage, that the body often rusts a lot.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Now I can install the glass.

Collection_114. ETK_51_Body equipment. Glazing (part 2)

I wrote about installing the door glass a long time ago, and now it's time to install the front and rear.
Glazing
Image

Three types of glass were available for the E30:
- ordinary transparent
- heat-insulating green Gruen (marking G)
- heat-insulating brown Gold Bronze (marking B)
In addition, the windshield (#1) could still have a green sun protection strip in the upper part. The rear window (No. 5) is always heated.
My windshield was no longer original, worn and cracked. The back was brown tinted with film. So I decided to replace them both. So I now have a complete set of green glass.
Part No. 1 is a windshield with a green sun protection strip (51 31 1 884 397). I bought this new Pilkington glass (AB26233A).
Image

Although some other codes are indicated on the label, it still fit.
Image

Green glass with a green sun band. Removed the stickers, washed.
Image

Part No. 5 - rear glass green (51 31 1 884 404). I was lucky - I bought an original green rear window from a friend, in good condition, without tinting and with a working heater.
Image

Although, the heating does not work at all - the lower three threads are broken. At first, I wanted to try to repair them with special glue, but after the feedback of a teammate, I changed my mind. His place of repair began to heat up and glow red, like the spiral of an electric heater, and the glass broke! This prospect did not suit me, so I did not risk it, and left it as it is. Especially since these three lower threads are still covered by the rear head restraints and the third stop sign. The main thing is that the terminals are intact, I cleaned them.
Image

Image

I am installing glass for the first time, so I first wondered how to do it correctly. Many advised to put the glass together with the seal and "lock" in the assembly - the "folk" method, with a string, pulling it into the cabin. But they say that the seal often loses its shape and begins to leak water. Well, this is not our method! :)
I decided to install as the book says - first the seal, then the glass, then the "lock". Seals are already installed. We install glass in them. You need to do this with an assistant - one pushes the sealant out of the cabin with a plastic spatula, the other aligns it on the glass. And so along the perimeter from bottom to top, in both directions.
The forehead is in place. Although, it was tight... I already thought that it wouldn't fit! :)
Image

The back was already put with silicone - it went in much easier.
Image

And now, the most "interesting" thing is the installation of "locks". I made something very remotely similar to the original tool for installing glass "locks" from a 3mm welding electrode. :)
Image

But, either the "locks" are very old and hard, or the tool turned out to be not very correct, but nothing happened with it! :)
Installed with plastic spatulas for clips and a flat screwdriver. There is a two-part "lock" on the back glass. The lower castle is straight - he started with it, as with the simplest one.
Now, from my own experience, I will say - first you need to insert the "lock" into the seal from the side of the glass, and then use a spatula to insert it from the side of the body. On the corners, on the contrary, and with silicone. First the lower "lock", then the corner pads, then the upper "lock". In principle, everything is simple, but it took me several hours...
Finally, the rear window is installed!
Image

Corner pads must be installed very carefully so as not to bend them.
Image

The upper corners are a little more difficult than the straight sections, but with silicone they have become fine.
Image

Original glass SPLINTEX Green, E6 - Belgium. By the way, the country code on the rear window happened to coincide with the code on the door glass - a bit of luck too! ;)
Image

On the windshield, for some reason, the gap in the seal was a little smaller than on the back, especially in the upper corners. It was a little harder here, but slowly, with silicone, everything also went in! It started from the bottom of the center to the left and in a circle. It also took two hours...
The windshield is installed!
Image

The "lock" was a little short, so there was a hole that was not covered by the overlay. I have already ordered another such overlay - I will install it when it arrives. I think that it is not critical.
Image

The upper corners, although tight, have become even better than before! :)
Image

Pilkington Green, E1 - Germany. Here, the country code did not match a bit... well, that's it. ;)
Image

Finally, the interior is completely closed and will not get dusty, which is a lot in my garage, due to the lack of a normal floor... I can also put seats.
There is already something like a car behind! :)
Image

Then again about the hatch.

Thank you, I also want it to go on the road as soon as possible! :)
I will finish assembling the interior soon, and I will work on the engine. But there will be only "cosmetics" on the motor - it is in good condition, and there were no complaints about its operation. Therefore, there will not be much work with him, comparatively... although...

Assembly_115. ETK_54_Hatch with sub.-ext. lid and glass top. Fairing

So, back to the hatch to finish it off.
A wind shield or fairing was provided for the hatch. Until September 1985, in the form of a Plexiglas shield, and after September 1985 - in the form of a mechanical shield that opened together with the hatch mechanism.
Fairing
Image

The plexiglass fairing was available as a separate retrofit kit in the appropriate ETK section:
Wind deflector retrofit kit
Image

In addition to the original shield, an aftermarket shield from the manufacturer Clim Air was also available. At first, I had it installed. Then I bought a genuine BMW fender. Now I have two of them.

Image

Part No. 1 is a hatch repair kit with a manual drive (54 12 9 056 596) and with an electric drive (54 12 9 056 597). No longer available to order.
Part No. 2 (No. 1) is a wind deflector retrofit kit (82 11 9 401 098). No longer available to order. Although, individual mounting details are still available.
Part No. 3 - sealing gasket (72 60 1 857 053)
Part No. 4 - screw (72 60 1 852 660) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 5 - bracket (72 60 1 852 659) - 2 pcs.
Part No. 6 - plastic nut (72 60 1 852 661) - 2 pcs.
Image

Detail No. 7 (No. 8...No. 13) is a mechanical shield that opens together with the hatch mechanism. It was installed instead of the front pressure bar, together with the hatch mechanism. For this, special metal brackets are provided on the body in the niche of the hatch. Machines manufactured before September 1985 do not have these brackets, therefore, without welding, such a shield cannot be installed.
Accordingly, I have a plexiglass shield installed - it has an even more "old school" look! ;)
First, it was necessary to bring the shields into proper shape - to polish them.
Started with the original BMW shield.
Image

Image

Polished by hand, with sandpaper 1000, 1500, 2500 with water, then polished twice.
Image

Result:
Image

Image

The eclipse is not very strong, although it is noticeable at the edge that it has "burnt out" in the sun over the years.
Image

The same with the Clim Air shield.
Image

Image

Result:
Image

Image

On this shield, the eclipse is stronger, or it has "burned out" less in the sun over the years.
Image

Shields are slightly different in size and shape. The original BMW is slightly wider and has front corners with a smaller radius of rounding. The attachment is the same and fits both shields.
I previously had a Clim Air shield installed.
Image

Image

Now I decided to install the original BMW shield.
In the front corners of the hatch niche, there are special gaps for installing shield brackets in them. They are simply inserted tightly with their hooks.
Image

Image

We install a shield with a seal on the roof, align it and fasten it to the brackets with screws and plastic nuts. All.
Image

View from the salon:
Image

Appearance:
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

This completes the installation of the hatch.

But in ETK, there is one more hatch division left:
Manual control hatch cover
Image

Although, according to the VIN code, my car had a sunroof with a manual drive, but I got it with an electric sunroof. Therefore, I will not write anything about the manual hatch, because I have never used it, and I don't really know anything about it... I only know that almost everyone has a broken handle :)

Now I will finish assembling the interior. Next time I will write about a very rare item! ;)

Collection_117. ETK_52_Seats. Rear seat.

Seats

In the cabin, everything is ready for installing the rear seats.
A little general information about them.
The Touring, Cabriolet, and M3 had rear seats of a different design.
In the Touring, it could be folded to increase the volume of the trunk. Therefore, the back consisted of four parts.
In the cabriolet, the rear seat is narrower and was a two-seater.
In the M3, the rear seat was two-seater, and had additional lateral support in the center.
I will write about sedans in more detail, in the form of an FAQ:
In 2-door and 4-door sedans, the rear seats are structurally different, depending on the year of production, but, in principle, they are interchangeable, although there are some nuances.
The rear seat cushion before 83 had an additional fastening with two bolts to the body.
The pillow for the 2-door sedan has straight front corners, and on the pillow for the 4-door sedan, they are rounded, for convenience when boarding through the rear door. Structurally, they are interchangeable, but if you put a pillow from a 2-door sedan to a 4-door, the front corners will interfere with the comfortable seating of rear passengers. If you put it the other way around, then there will be a large gap between the side of the 2-door body and the seat in the front part.
The cushion and backrest of the rear seat before 85 are on a spring frame, and after 85 are on paralon. They also have a "mirror" location of fasteners for seat belt locks.
Backrests for 2-door and 4-door sedans are the same.
The back can be plain or with an armrest. The armrest cannot be installed on a regular backrest.
The back with an armrest can only be on a spring frame.
Rear headrests can be installed on any backrest.
Rear and front headrests are the same (except front RECARO).
Rear seat heating was not available.
The upholstery fabric texture sets were different for the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder cars.

So, now about my specific back seat. Initially, a seat on a spring frame was installed, which corresponded to the 84 year of production of the car. But then I completely replaced all the seats with the top kit from the '89 car - front sport seats and rear seat with armrest and headrests. Changed them in black and installed heating on all seats.

Rear seat spring frame / base
Image

As I said above, depending on the year of production, the engine, the type of trim and the configuration of the car, the seats have a lot of ETK numbers. Therefore, it makes no sense to specify them.
Detail No. 1, 3 - a spring frame, or a paralon pillow. I have a paralon pillow.
Image

The pillow is additionally heated.
Image

Detail No. 2, 4 - a spring frame, or a paralon back. I have a back with an armrest - it is always on a spring frame. It does not exist on Paralon.
Image

Back heating is additionally installed.
Image

1989 year
Image

Part No. 5 - bolt M6X20-Z3-2 (07 11 9 915 032) - 2 pcs. Additional fastening of the pillow to the body. Only for cars up to 83 years. Not used in this case.
Part No. 6 - SCHWARZ protective cap (52 20 1 844 402) - 2 pcs. Black plastic bolt cover. Only for cars up to 83 years. Not used in this case.
Part No. 7 - self-tapping screw ST6.3X16 (07119916965) - 2 pcs. Lower fastening of the back.
Part No. 8 - fastening of the seat belt lock (52 20 1 941 332)
Part No. 9 - fastening of the seat belt lock (52 20 1 941 338)

Installation of the rear seat is very simple. First, we put the back with its staples on the hooks on the body, and fasten the lower fastening with self-tapping screws (#7).
Image

By the way, there is a hole on the plastic threshold cover. I thought that the pad is fixed together with the back with one self-tapping screw. But the holes do not match - it can be seen in the photo. I don't have another hole for the overlay. It is not clear... maybe it also depends on the year of production of the car? Does anyone have a pad bolted to the body at this point?

Insert the belt locks into the fasteners. Pull the straps over the back. We connect the connectors of "custom" heating.
Image

We insert the pillow under the back and fasten its front brackets to the body brackets.
Image

The rear seat is installed.

Seat Cover
Image

Item No. 1 - fabric pillow cover
Detail No. 2 - fabric back covering
Detail #3 - not specified in ETK. It could be the trim clips, but I'm not sure about that...

As I said above, depending on the year of production, engine, and configuration of the car, the seats have many upholstery options with different ETK numbers. Therefore, it makes no sense to specify them.
Fabric, artificial leather, and genuine leather upholstery were available. The main colors are black, blue, green, brown, beige, gray, red. Before restyling, and after restyling, these colors had different shades and textures. The upholstery fabric texture sets were different for the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder cars. There were also special skins for exclusive and individual configurations - M-Technic, Edition and others. On all E30s, the skin has longitudinal seams, except for convertibles, where the seams are transverse.
According to the VIN code, my car had PINIENGRUEN green fabric upholstery (0149) - for cars with 4-cylinder engines (316). But I bought a car with a different interior. The door panels were 0211 ANTHRAZIT and the seats were re-stitched in a similar fabric. After replacing all the seats, I searched for the 0211 ANTHRAZIT fabric that was available from 85 for the 6 cylinder engine - just what I needed for my current kit! I still found it and bought it, thanks to a friend.
Image

But in fact, the color was not black, but brown... alas...
Image

At that time, I could not find a black "crow's foot", so I decided to simply sew the seats in black, with transverse seams, like on convertibles. It also turned out very well. But the idea of making the entire interior in black "houndstooth" doesn't leave me... :) Yes, such a fabric is now on sale... I already have a back rest and four headrests in the original 0211 ANTHRAZIT fabric. Someday, maybe, I will have the whole salon "crow's foot" 0211 ANTHRAZIT. Or blue "crow's foot" 0212 PACIFIC - door trims are also already available ;)

The photo shows M TECHNIC decorative overlays (52 20 1 927 590) on the back.
Image
For the E30 rear seats, they were only available for convertibles and the M3. But I also installed them - the interior looks much better with them! ;) We pierce the skin with them, and bend their spokes inside. One nuance - although I ordered them new, the color of the stickers on the driver's seat quickly began to fade... Therefore, I "laminated" them with a transparent adhesive film.

Armrest
Image

Image

Detail #1 - fabric armrest
I also wrote about the armrest above - it can only be in a set with a special back on a spring frame. The upholstery, of course, matches the upholstery of the seats. It has a special bracket for fixation on the back frame.
Image

Assembly / disassembly is very simple and fast. We insert the bracket into the slots in the frame and snap it onto the brackets of the frame.
Image

The cover for transporting skis is closed with a lining that is fixed on top with a "velcro" fastener. To use the cover, the armrest is just as easily and quickly removed.
Image

The armrest is installed.
Image

Composite
Image

Rear headrests
Image

Image

Detail #1 - fabric headrest
I repeat - the rear headrests can be installed on any backrest. Rear and front headrests are the same (except front RECARO).
Part No. 2 (No. 3...No. 8) - a set of additional elements of the rear headrest (52 20 9 058 393).
Image

Image

This kit is installed on the back.
Image

It is assembled and screwed to the back with two bolts.
Image

We make holes in the paneling and insert plastic inserts for guiding headrests.
Image

The headrests are simply inserted into the holes. Can be adjusted in height and inclination.
Image

Rear Seat Parts
Image

Image

Detail #1 - a pillow
Detail #2 - back
Part #3 - ANTHRAZIT seat belt lock attachment (52 20 1 941 332). Black plastic fastener for the seat belt buckle.
Part No. 4 - ANTHRAZIT seat belt lock attachment (52 20 1 941 338). Black plastic fastener for the seat belt buckle.

Until 85, the middle seat belt was installed on the left, and its lock was on the right. After 1985, their location was changed, on the contrary - the middle seat belt was installed on the right, and its lock on the left. Accordingly, the fasteners for locks in the backrests before 85 and after 85 are also "mirror". In order to match my pre-85 belts with the post-85 back and shelf, I had to swap the middle belt body mount and its buckle. And everything fell into place! ;)
Image

So, the rear seat in the top configuration is installed.
Interior view with curtains (due to curtains and poor lighting, photo quality is poor).
Image

Image

Now, in a completely black salon, it became dark and scary! )))
Image

Later, outside, in sunny weather, there will be better photos! :)

Next, I will install the torpedo, and then the front seats. This is all that is left of the cabin.

Collection_118. ETK_03_Upgrades, accessories. Multiple startup aborts

I haven't written about wiring in a long time! :)

The last of the original additional options installed in the cabin:

Multiple Start Interruption
Image

Image

Part No. 1 - multiple start interruption (82 91 9 404 260). State anti-theft system.
Part No. 3 - the key of the lock for multiple start interruptions (82 92 9 402 596). Electronic key.
Part No. 4 - lock for multiple interruption of starting (82 92 9 402 605). Electronic lock.
Detail #2, 5...8 - are not used.

I have written before about my original security system with a magnetic key. Unlike it, this system not only warns of unauthorized entry into the car, but also prevents its theft by breaking several electrical power circuits. Together, these two systems are the "prototype" of more modern security and anti-theft systems.
So, I found the original EBA manual, translated it, de-foamed it and figured out the connection. In principle, everything is easier than it seemed at first! ;) In the instructions, German engineers call after installing the system to destroy all pinouts and remove number tags from all connectors to make the task as difficult as possible for potential thieves! :) For this, they even made ALL the wires black! :) The locations of the ECU and the lock according to the instructions are also arbitrary, at the discretion of the owner. Well, I won't share this "terrible" secret, but if someone really needs it, please contact me! ;)

I prepared the standard wiring for connecting the immobilizer back when it was hanging in my garage on the wall - so I just connect the corresponding connectors in "test" mode to make sure that the system works.
Image

The red diode in the lock flashes - this is already a sign that the system is working.
Image

Press the electronic key fob tightly to the lock - the red diode on the key lights up, and at the same time it goes off on the lock - disarmed. Working!
Image

So, the wiring can now be installed on the car.
I decided to place the lock in the cover of the left button above the radio - closer to the ignition switch. There were several types of plugs - with a hole for diodes of various standard alarms. The hole fit perfectly.
Image

Untangled the wires, wound them in the form of a harness of the required length.
Image

I connected and laid the wiring in the cabin and under the hood, "hid" the ECU somewhere under the torpedo - as recommended by German engineers! ;)
The immobilizer is installed.
Next, I lay the wiring of the torpedo, and you can install the torpedo and finish assembling the interior.

P.S.
I wonder if it is possible to order a duplicate electronic key..? And how is it coded? Because I only have one and its case is a little cracked.

Collection_119. ETK_61_General electrical equipment of the car. Jute wires (part 5)

So, the wiring of all the electrical options I currently have in the cabin is installed. Only the wiring of the torpedo remains to be installed.

Jute wires (part 5)
Image

Image

Part #2 - jute wires of the instrument panel (61 11 1 380 476)

1 - connector C103, for connecting the harness to the main wiring. Pinout:
Image
2 - connector of the left repeater of the turn indicator in the wing
Image
3 - light switch connector
Image
Image
4 - front and rear fog lamp button connector
5 - backlight lamp connector
Image
6 - connector of an electronic or hand clock
7 - connector for the button of the button of the backlight of the box for small things
8 - socket for the lamp shade of the box for small things
9 - connector for charging a rechargeable flashlight
Image
10 - connector of the right repeater of the turn indicator in the wing
11 - connector to the Motronic ECU (signal to the tachometer and econometer)
Image
12 - rear window heating button connector (an additional wire for button illumination is added, similar to cars for the USA, and a blue connector for additional button illumination)
13 - emergency stop signal button connector
Image

I made such a "custom" mount for the C103 connector, but it does not hold very well.
Image

We connect the harness to it, and lay out its connectors.
Image

Before laying and fixing all the harnesses, I remembered that I had only one empty G pin left in the C302 accessory connector. And I thought - why not connect to it the "old school" anti-radar that I had lying around for a long time garages? :)
Image

There isn't much use for it now, but it's a "cool" thing from those times :) Yes, there is a "trace" from its attachment on the torpedo, which will now be covered by it ;). So, I wired it to pin G and connected it. :) There was also a corresponding pin - I left it just in case ;)
Image

Now I have C302 fully engaged - FULL! ;)
Image

After installing the immobilizer, the last hole for wiring in the rubber insert of the motor shield was also used - also FULL! ;)
Image

Well, here is such a "garland" of end caps of the driver's door for all additional options - also FULL! ;)
Image

Finally, ALL the wiring is laid in the cabin, now it just needs to be carefully laid and secured under the torpedo. An on-board computer and alarm ECU are installed.
Image

Part of the harness is fixed with special clamps on the steering column bracket. Others will be attached to the torpedo.
Image

Next, about the installation of the torpedo and, in parallel, about fixing the wiring under it.
