Hi All, Let me start off by saying thank you for a place like this. I joined some time ago and has been a reference site since. I will post findings myself as they come up, giving info or asking for it.
I am looking for a hardtop for my 1997 Boston Green E36 (328i) great if it matched colour, good if it was black and ok any other. Please let me know if any of you know of one. I am in Vancouver Canada.
Climate control problems. I am experiencing a bummer here. The unit will go dim, a/c compressor turns on and no control of anything to do with the control. I had read of replacing the capacitor and was preparing for it by removing the clock and having a look. I took the clock out and as I touched the harness for the climate control, I could switch between normal operation and not. I now drive around with the clock removed and wiggle the harness as needed. Sometimes it goes normal right away and sometimes it takes more wiggling. I know this cannot be good for it. I have searched the circuit board for a crack where the harness connects but cannot get a great view of that section. Currently I am looking for another control unit to just try as to determine if that is the source of the problem.
Last but not least. We have to put our cars through aircare here so am unsure of what exhaust system I can use. I would like to add some 'umff 'and definitely some low grrrrrowl. I would prefer something subtle looking, air care passable, and of course save some money for the hardtop! Any thoughts?
I have owned and collectively put on a couple million miles on, 3xE21's, 2xE30's, 2xE36's and 3x2002's (don't know the 'e' designation for them) so if I can help in any findings with those, I will.
For example, after pulling the trunk liner out a second time looking for the stock audio amp and not finding it, (three different dealers said it was there and one posting here), I went on a discovery mission. It is located behind the rear seat back on the right side. Maybe I could trade that info back to ther daelers for a climate control unit!
If you got one, Drive it hard!![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")
