Wow...those are really slick hand controls.

I'm interested in how you interfaced to the accelerator.

I was wanting to do something similar to mine, to control the idle during competitions.

I bought a vernier cable which is supposed to connect onto the throttle body under the hood but doesn't work on these cars due to the throttle position sensor (threw my car into limp mode and scared me into thinking I broke something... :P).

Yet again...inspiring work Sir :good:

He said it's just a shift/brake cable from a bike mounted with the business end behind the pedal and the cable pulls the pedal.

Right...I was curious at what the mechanism looks like.

This would have to be planned out very well as you wouldn't want the mechanism to interfere with everyday driving and hold the pedal down accidentally.

oh, it's fairly easy to send those S54s into limp mode. I'm currently trying to get one that was swapped into an E30 OUT of limp mode. Fun fun.

Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.

Here you can see the modification of the brake I once ordered. The brake alone cost me 1500€


Here you can see clearly how dangerous the thick screw is, where the brake lever pivots on.

You don’t want to know what it’ll do to your knee when you’re in an accident.

The interior of this E30 still is one of the most beautiful ones I’ve had.

But what isn’t can still be…

A lot of carbon fiber and alcantara.


Custom door panels leder carbon alu.

Custom dashboard alcantara.

Custom center console covered carbon.

Custom kick panels.

It is now as a 13 weeks since I 've had my surgery on my left shoulder. Time flies…

The recovery is according to plan. I've been doing some physiotherapy for several weeks now .

Frankly, I still need to pay attention on what I do. It’s easy to overdo myself and overweigh y shoulder.


Of course I had a LOT of time to think. As for the BMW , I'm NOT going to be able to do a number of things .

Getting into the trunk won’t be possible anymore. And you know what has been created for in there….

How the story of the trunk will turn out, I don’t know myself. We will see


Since the beginning of this week, I felt good enough to go to the garage. I think most know that I had some made the ICE in my wife her Polo..

When we started the renovation of the house, I retrieved the ICE from the trunk so we put could put the seats down and load some more stuff..

Now we have decided not to remount the install, but use the trunk for normal use.

This was what was inside.

Of course I was already doing a lot of thinking about what I could do to BMW

This was mainly a light work what I could make at a table.

I had two door panels laying around here, and I had the 4 Focal Utopia Be 13 W wich came out of the Polo. You can guess what I did.



This is how the box looks after clearing my mind

I already changed my doors to fit in the Focal 16cm

DSC02978_resize_zpspubrjpjs.jpg
The 16cm now going to have to make room for two Focal Be 13 WS .
This is going to be a challenge because I want to let them play in a closed room to play between 10 and 14 liters. Preferably 14.
That's not going to be easy , thinking in terms of space , and then again thinking about the resonance, but i’ll manage.
Difficult is still not impossible, I’ve already done it with my previous bmw (e30)
Robert050_resize_zpswdloquf1.jpg
First of all, I cut some, and cleaned up a bit.
Loosened all of the cables.
P1020887_resize_zps78plstym.jpg
Cleared all of the cables nicely, and brought in the saw. You can see what I sawed, it’s lying on the ground.
P1020924_resize_zpsalwjbwka.jpg
This all looked a lot better to me.
Thats what I sawed, of course, I treated against corrosion etc. You can also see that I put on an aluminum slat L where the panel will be placed ON .
P1020926_resize_zpsghxbnn5m.jpg
Because I needed to have a firm foundation , I milled two panels of 4mm HPL ( Trespa) . L and R.
P1020890_resize_zpsboehjn7r.jpg
P1020894_resize_zpsgl4psiom.jpg
I provided some holes for clips to secure the plate to the original position.
P1020897_resize_zpsctudg4zc.jpg
P1020901_resize_zpsmomypbqz.jpg
This fixation I use for making it a bit more easy for me . Within a few weeks you 'll begin to see that these panels will be screwed .
Then I started to make the closed room.
I made a loooooooooooooooot of silly little molds made out of cardboard , and then I drew it all on on 18mm MDF .
After a lot of milling I had this.

Glad to see you're back working on the BMW! :good:

I'm guessing all went well with your shoulder surgeries?
