Red one goes to the PERMANENT +12V on battery or permanent +12V on radio through fuse (there should be allways +12V no matther is the car running or not or is radio is on or off). White wire goes on ussually blue (but not allways blue) wire with fuse sometimes FROM your radio. This is remote control wire and this wire controlls your antenna. When radio is on, on this (blue) wire must be +12V, and when it is off, there is no voltage (or max 0.7V). Check this remote wire with voltmeter if you're not shure of purpose of this wire from radio.... ivo 316 '86 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have two(2) E30, 4x100, 14x6 wheels. If you live in the greater Sacto area in CA, and you WANT them, let me know. I believe they are round and straight. No tires on them. I came across them, and intended to use them back in the day on my VW. Never got around to it. I also believe that they would fit a 2002. If you know anyone that would be interested, please feel free to forward this. Thanks. dave.

It depends on your situation, of course, but I love the nat. gas heater. I live in MN and it gets a little chilly up here, so it can be expensive to heat. The best part is that I can leave the heat set at 45 degrees to keep things from freezing, but when it is time to work it brings the heat up FAST. In-floor heat takes forever to bring the temp up. I have in-floor heat in the basement, which is great, but I would recommend a 100,000 BTU (MOK) gas heater for the garage. I love it! Craig L. >I recommend a ceiling hung vented natural gas heater.

Since I own the car and have only lent it to my GF it is registered in MI. But, it is no longer feasible for me to drive the car in MI (we would exchange earlier) and I'd like to move it to GA and to her name to keep the whole thing legally hassle-free and 'right' insurance-, etc., wise. A quick examination of the emissions rules tells me that for 1974-1995 cars: 1. The car caneither pass emissions, or 2. I show $608 in receipts for work towards improving emissions and an improvement to go with it I was wondering: 1. Do E30s this old pass emissions (stock chip)? 2. What do I need to replace? Cat, O2 sensor, etc. 3. If I do this myself, can I still show the purchase receipts for the $608 waiver or do I need to have a shop install and certify the expense? The $608 does not seem to be a lot to pay for cleaner air, I just don't want to have to spend any more than necessary or spend on labour when I can get 'cleaner' results on my own. Thanks in advance.

John John, sounds very nice, and I'm impressed that you got that all typed out using the remote control (must be why it's all in caps..) But - I need a clue (nothing new here).. I have a friend who is actively looking for an iC, but we're located in a state in the USA named New Jersey. It would help a whole lot if we had some clue (this is the clue I need) as to where the car is located so if it's someplace like Romania (does Romania have LoJack?) he could just forgeddaboutit.. So - where is the car? (And I'm guessing the price isn't $33.25, but more like $33,250 - that pesky punctuation can make all the difference eh?) [BTW - if it IS $33.25, I'll buy it sight unseen, but mom always said I was the risktaker in the family..] BTW: What EdZachery is: "HTD STS" - STS I see on the back of the bosses Caddy, HTD sounds like cable television - this car got TV also? ...................................................................

The possible list of responses to this post is just too long and too scary to fully contemplate. Okay, okay, just a couple of the cleaner ones... . Is it the same part number as in the BavAuto catalog? . Do you suppose the owner got a CCA discount? The first "C" does not stand for "Car"... . Was it metric or SAE? . Was it in the car because it required 12V power? . Sure, you used tongs to carry it out... but did you use tongs on the steering wheel?
