The '87 is now ready for the Spring road trip! The plan is Tail of the Dragon, Skyline, Cherahola Skyway, etc. *AND BACK* with ZERO (car) troubles! Here's what we finished up:
When I bought the car, it was with the promise to enable the tach. Well, we can't just have THAT, now can we? Upgraded cluster. Note the Oil pressure gauge in place of the sweeping mpg: We went through all the electrical. The radio, electric antenna, OBC, and even interior light functions. This is quite the upgrade from the '75 '02. Damn light never has worked. ![]() And then, the star of our show... Inspired by a slight overheat on a regional trip this past Summer.. I give thee.. The Zionsville aluminum with electric fan for belt driven fan delete... This thing is ready for a roadie, fellas!

I LOVE the sweeping MPG gauge! It reminds me of the E24 my parents had. I used to LOVE watching it sweep! I SO wanted it in my '75 '02. ![]() So, rather than just repair the cluster, my seller agreed to foot the bill for a refurb if I paid for the PSI plumbing. I didn't see 10% of the E30 purchase price coming out of that, but we live, we learn I suppose. ![]() They do ALLLL sorts of upgrades for the E30.. the goal here was to add information practical to the longevity of the i6. (I still like the sweeper) ![]()

![]() ![]() And yes, I still love the sweeping MPG gauge. Most ppl hate them and call them useless, but I've always enjoyed trying to keep it pegged at 30+mpg during road trips regardless of the chassis I was in. Obviously it was more difficult in some than others. ![]()

![]() *edit* Just Googled the OEM dash image - looks like the MPG gauge is similar to the diesel version, with the better consumption being on the left. I assumed the reverse from your use of the term "pegged" (usually meaning hard to the max value. - and usually this is to the right) ![]()

The E38 is officially mechanically sound. Aluminum radiator, KW coil overs, and Turner solid core suspension parts. Here she sits in the upholstery shop lot. Black suede headliner will join the black interior bits that I purchased with this in mind ab a year ago.
I do like that stance. ![]()
