First of all, what E30 - BMW made quite a few different models, and does it have the steering wheel opn the wrong side?
Need more pics. of the individual connectors you want identified, some idea of where they are in the car, and the pics. must show the colours of each wire, or list the colours for each plug (main colour and stripe).
The plug in the last pic. is only used in cars with aircon and/or EH auto. gearbox., and should be clipped onto a bracket on the engine ECU cage.
