Hey Murran ,
Great job about motronic conversion , i am so sad that i have missed all the posts and party.
My friend did my motronic conversion , so i missed the party cause i was at work during weekdays.
Mine has a lambda sensor , will try to picture the place if i can find a lift in a short time.
Battery is in the trunk , ecu is in a shitty place under the bonnet. ( i can explain as the pool

close to the front screen , under the bonnet )
great job !
cheers

Wuss - SARP dude, how comes you managed to fit your ECU in a dnagerous place under the bonnet where theres heat and the rest of us has it under the glove compartment or if not under there steering wheel?? it reaches well there.. no matter what happens when fitting motronic the ecu ends up in the car which fitting the loom...

to place the ECU there , is an art creation of my bmw mechanic who is 80 years old and holding two beer bottles on both hands

he tried to push it to the cabin but too shaky to push till the cabin

I have seen it after he finished. Upper left corner of the pic , u can see the grey self adhesive tape that i have tried to resist from rain

LOOOOL you telling me he tried to fit the ecu plugged in to the loom and tried to push it thru a 2 inch gap? didnt he thought of disconnecting the ecu and pull the ecu connector thru? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, that beer has messed him up...

Damn i need a hole cutter!

Those bonnet pins look the goods murran, I'm considering the possibility of picking up a set so i can cut away the radiator support panel and bonnet release mechanism to fit my left over 325i radiator.

Problem is its a fairly irreversible mod....but with those flush mount bonnet locks i could live with it....

i love the bonnet pins. its so nice just to take the bonnet off completely tho it is a heavy son of a bitch! its a let the dog see the rabbit sort of thing!

Get a fibreglass bonnet if yours is too heavy!

murran, those front headlights, from what year e30 do they come in, is it on the E/F reg (chromey)? i was planning to fit them a while back rather than the smileys as i had them originally and binned them for the current angel eyes i have.. so now wann resort back to the retro look but e30 side of it!!
