Rare E30 Items

[Simon13]

The image I posted before of the Touring plastic load bay tray/liner. Can anyone get me the part no for that? It's not on Realoem. Would be a big touch.

Is it just me, or does even the plastic boot liner get rusty in the E30? I know they're bad for it, but ffs, thats just taking the p!ss....[/u]

These have been NLA for some years now. i've got one

[kieran325]

I want one ^^^

[Simon13]

they crop up on ebay now and then, the Gaydon show is good for finding them. I picked up an e36 touring one there this year

Has a 9 litre fuel can been mentioned? much rarer than the 6 litre one

So have I! The norm on cars with aircon, I think.

awesome thread. The morcels fitted to mine on purchase;

Illuminated Gear Knob
Boot Liner
Grey Glove Box
Grey centre console.

Think thats pretty much it, although i am looking to add more options from the OEM list.

Most touring i have seen with A/C usually have a sunroof.

UK 4 pot cars with A/C, now thats rare.

My touring has A/C and a sunroof, the original owner was a very nice man who ticked lots of boxes when confonted with the option list.

Has anyone got there full set of keys, with the chauffeurs key? (is that how you spell chauffeur?)

I have the full set of keys with mine

Also got 2 fobs for central locking but only one is currently working!

[zaust]

I've got a few bits stashed away, but nothing ultra special. Some arn't even BMW but I expect are still rare.


tech 1 touring 1 of 2 (ok custom made!),

And I have the other ;)

Yep, all keys present and correct for my 323i

Excuse my ignorance but what the hell is a chauffeur´s key ?

[darkchild]

Excuse my ignorance but what the hell is a chauffeur´s key ?

If its the same as my old E36 its the key that lets them unlock a door but not the boot.

[clipper]

Really ? When the E30 was our only car and before I changed the locks my wife's key wouldn't open the boot.... I'll tell her later that she's my chauffeur....



Then I'll post a pic of me with a black eye

That seems really bizarre to me. If I had a Chauffeur, I'd at least want the fecker to load / unload my boot for me. He'd have no chance of driving my car, but should certainly be put to this good use.

[clipper]

I thought about that, but then if it's really a key for valet parking services then it does make sense.

You don't want to stop for lunch at the restaurant and have the valet parking monkey riffling through your Kensington High St shopping now do you ?

That makes a lot more sense. Imagine the horror of handing over you keys to find that your Fortnum and Mason's hamper is bare on your return.

[Brianmoooore]

Your E30 should have come with four keys: Three master keys - one with a plastic head and a push button light, one with the plastic head and no light, known as the spare key and one with a very small, triangular head, known as the duplicate key, and intended to be stowed away somewhere, like in a wallet, for emergency use.
The fourth key should be all metal with an oval head, and is known by the imaginative name of the "door and ignition" key. It should not fit the glovebox or boot.

[clipper]

Checked last night, I do have the "door and ignition" key

I have no idea why this makes me happy.........

Thats council, not rare

[HairyScreech]

thats not factory, thats just a window switch thats been wired up to the ignition barrel via a relay, thats all iv done on the project car so i can turn it over as many times as i like without switching the ecu off.

iv got two ariels on my touring as well, iirc its somthing to do with a mobile phone kit, most of which is still fitted.

iv also go no sunroof and no ac on my touring, is that suposed to be unusual?
(think id rater have no sun roof, its only good about 3 days of the year and my roof wont rot out!)

[Jesus325iTouring]

Not a rare item,but only two days ago did notice that if the rear demister is on,and you then turn the headlights on,the demister light dulls to about half the brightness.

And no my battery isn't shot!

Only took 7 years to notice that!

[HairyScreech]

yep, thats suposed to happen, my obc and any warning lights are brighter in the day so you can see them in the higher levels of ambiant light and when you turn the lights on they dim down to a night mode where there the same level as the dash.
