No, nobody has come close, its throttle related

Dan is it something to do with that rare fuel burning car heater option?

[rThor234]

Hello from the United States of Duh!

Hello US Duh.

I have a cluster to match your seats--




Dont know if it's rare or not, but it's got a neat brown background (instead of black) and the needles are orange, unlike the red of the M3 needles.

Has anyone mentioned 'full closure' i.e. leave a few windows open and lock the car and they all shut ? Common on car nowadays but quite rare on the E30 ? BTW got it on mine

[ImysE30]

Got it on my cab as well

Thats aftermarket and not factory.

Here's a rare morsel - Hartge Kevlar sump guard (complete with battle scars)

[d6dph]

/thread.

Nice Theo, Next question, Is it going to fit?

[Theo]

Good question! I think it will, might need a spot of modifying but nothing difficult.

It's well 'ard. (like me)

Here's a rare morsel - Hartge Kevlar sump guard (complete with battle scars)

I got the ally version of that meaty one - what does it look like from the other side?

Mine was fitted to a hartge 2.3 but noone seems to reckon they've seen one before ??

[Theo]

Hmm, is that made by Hartge then? Not seen it any of their literature. Still, a very useful piece of kit to have.

Here's a pic of the other side of mine:



And a pic of it from the Hartge price list from 1983!

[Barx325i]

got that strut brace too

The guard came from an '84 car.. It's interesting now I've seen yours because the mounting backet is identical to mine. I don't know it's origin but it's too concidental now the brackets are so similar

I've got a few other Hartge Bits

Not sure what the story behind your sump guard is - but it's a really good thing to have fitted.
