As above. I just bought some door speaker pods I have been looking for over the last 8 years since I saw them on a photo. Only seen them in one other photo and IMO look better than the audioscape items.

Spent the last week watching them hourly on ebay and although paid ridiculous money for what they are I'm happy I have something I've wanted for a long time. Still don't have another E30 yet but it gives me plenty of time to get them retrimmed.

So what's the favourite part you've bought for your E30?

I got the original build sheet for my car three years ago when I signed up, and it says my car had a "Map Light Mirror". It bloody didn't.... until last week :D

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

This, with illumination. I'd been promising myself one for ages and finally bit the bullet last year. It cost a small fortune but I love it :)

Hardtop for me.

Best free thing I've encountered was being told that you can wedge in a can of fizzy pop behind the ashtray in the centre console and it won't spill with vigorous driving.
