    Does anyone has a e85/86 Z4 that I could sit in to see if I fit? I’m 6’5” and not skinny so sounds like it’s a coin toss from what I’ve read
     

    Im looking at picking up a Z4M Coupe but really don’t want to fly cross country to find out I don’t fit…

    Check on Autotempest and see if you can find one for sale locally and just test drive it.

    Hi Everyone! 

    I recently bought a 1990 E30 convertible which has the CM5908 radio.

    it was working fine when i first got it but now it turns on but i get no sound.

    i did buy a used amp and replaced the old one but still no sound. I'm really not 

    sure what's wrong or what to check next any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I think we need more information.

    Have you checked fuses?

    Have you checked grounds? 

    Have you checked if its getting 12v at the back of the head unit?

    Did it make scratching or odd noise before it failed?

    Was it just dead on power up one day? 

    Is there static coming from the speakers now? 

    Do you know if the Amp was tested? Are the capacitors on the amp board good? 

    Are the Output Capacitors good? < based on a quick internet search, I would guess this is your issue.

    Agreed, the Wisconsin options are pretty ugly IMO. I am already kinda regretting not trying to get “E46” with collectors. Maybe in the future!

    You can do that in MN? We cant do vanity on collector or hobbyist plates in Wisco. I  painted my hobbyist plates about 5 years ago and never had issues. (Joking because my car never leaves my shop)

    From what I understand, its illegal to alter the plates in any way (hell a license plate frame is considered illegal). On the other hand, any cop I have asked always says its NBD as long as its legible. Its in line with most modifications, be honest and polite when cops ask questions, you are more likely to get a warning.

    Yeahhhhh. I have a major shift in family priorities right now. And I've seen too many pictures of e30s in accidents lately and it was getting hard to be comfortable with putting my three girls in there. It's not fun for me if they can't be a part of it. 

    It was fun though. It was a cool car to build. Met lots of cool people. Excited to see what's next. 

    My girlfriend sent it to me when you listed it and I was shocked. I agree with @m42b32 that your asking price is spot on, I hope you the best of luck with your sale. Do you have a replacement in mind @gilber33?

    Still looking to trade that 318is from 2 picnics ago now 

    Yeah I see it pop up all the time on my feed. I find it hilarious. If you want to trade that you are going to have to seek a car to trade. Also posting it in a place where everyone knows what it is, is not going to help you trade it. On the plus side, at this rate the value as been going up, so eventually it might go away.
