If you have an airbag. Then Yes!!!

what are those 2 resistor like sticks mounted in the passenger wing next to the lights?
Although i cant think what they are for. I dont think they are crash sensors.

resistor things are to do with the lighting.

Yanks have an airbag!

if you mean the yellow things near the wings that look like sealed in sufe units, I thought they were to do with the ABS system, but I could well be wrong

[bob53]

the reason I ask is I am trying to find why my indicator is clicking just with the ignition turned on, but no lights fashing or flickering.

Yes the E30 has a crash sensor, it is located in the central locking control box in the driverside kick pannel, and unlocks the doors in thevent of a crash.

If you buy a new BMW 3 series it will even phone the emergency services with your location in the event of a crash, if you have the gps pack.

Only fitted to early facelift cars, dim-dip function, lights the dipped beam at a low output when the sidelights are switched on.

Thanks Widge I will have a look tomorrow.

Why? Has your central locking stopped working?

[bob53]

My central locking is also playing up,
sometimes there is a couple of seconds before it locks ,and sometimes it locks and then unlocks,AND sometimes it wont lock at all and I have to use the tailgate lock.

Loock at the other central locking threads, that sounds like a dodgy pillar plug to me if the boot always works. It's the wires from the door to the car.
