Hi Everyone,

I have been in the search for back seats for my 1981 e12, the tops of my back seats have dried out, cracked and ripped. I am looking into two options.

I found a set of two black e24 driver seats, which I will use in the front.

When it comes to the back seats, I thought of maybe ...

I just filled up and did the math on my e12 yesterday. In two weeks of local city driving around town, I got 12 mpg.

Funnily enough, the fill up before that I got around 17.5 mpg, after a day of hard mountain, hills and coastal driving. I guess the car has spoken she prefers the speed and so does ...

Mine broke about two weeks ago, BavAuto had the replacement, the part number is "51 16 1 817 651"

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the tips!

Hi everyone,

I have been searching through the forum and online and I am trying to get a good understanding of what tire size would work best for a 16x8 wheel?

Thank you.

Yea I have seen some of these steering wheels go way up in price. I will have to check out some e21 and e23 options. My girlfriend has an e30 1987 convertible so I have had some play with the steering wheel and like the feel so much more than the large stock one that I currently have.

Really? Are they smaller than the other stock rectangular four ended one?

Interestingly, I've got three of them.

Just want to clarify, steering wheels from early E28 and E24s?

I saw the two cars you have linked to your signature, the first one's (07/80 M535i 5-Speed Polaris/Marineblau) steering wheel is something I am going for, what car was it off of?

Hi everyone,

I have done several searches to see if anyone else has asked, with no luck. I was curious if an e30 steering wheel can be easily swapped onto an e12? I am looking at a couple e30 three spoke steering wheels, the ones that came off of the late 80's convertibles and know I would enjoy ...
