Some nice pictures from Serbia

[baksa]

Here are some blurry evening photos of my BMW 520i 1992.
I hope you like the car, and also I made photos of my glove compartment with air bag stuff in it, because I still don't know if there is or there isn't air bag on passanger side.
That's it for now, I'll probably send some videos from local roads.

The sign in the glove box says " attention airbag".
I have checked European version of a E34 520i from 09/1992 and it shows that you should have an airbag, which sits here

How come you have a wide kidney front grille? Your model/year should have a narrow one, unless it has been wrecked in the front, or someone had enough extra money to modify it. Btw., if you have a passenger side air-bag, you will have no compartment above the glove box!

Btw., greetings from Croatia :)

The wide grille and great front and rear bumpers, as well as the "M5" sign on the back are probably result of previous owner's fat wallet, he is, as I heard, an italian dentist, and he probably had the car restyled, but the car itself is 09/1992, and it was imported from Italy 2001.
It's in the great shape, I think.

I must admire that type of people - they spend loads of money on restyling, but don't want to spend enough for a real M5 :)

What's your fuel consumption around the town? And what's the price of fuel there?

[baksa]

Fuel consumption in city driving is around 11 - 11,5 litres in heavy duty driving (firtst, second, and third gear, rarely fourth), and when I take it out on the open road, economy gauge shows around 8-9l driving 160 km/h.
Unleaded fuel is 0,89 Euro per liter.

[shogun]

He means: 11 - 11,5 litres per 100 km.
That is the European way of calculating consumption.
0.89 EURO/Liter is very cheap.

I pay now about 1 EURO/Liter in Japan for what they call here 'regular.

I pay the same price here in Croatia, and we border with Serbia! How about that? :)

The gas price is up to 1.3€/litre here in Finland. :(

Looks like he spent some money on replacing the seats too?

Sorry to Jack thread

But whats that grey sponge just above that yellow sticker in your glovebox?
I have one and when I pull out the sponge there are two metal rods like
something can plug into it.

Any ideas?

1.35 - 1.40 EUR per liter in the Netherlands right now! :(

That's about $6.34 per gallon, who can beat that??!?!

[baksa]

I didn't try to pull out the sponge because I don't know what'll happen. But if there are some kind of connectors behind it, maybe they are for air bag, and the rest of the stuff with yellow sticker is only prepared installation?

that's where the crappy factory rechargable flashlight goes

[baksa]

OK, I see that Serbia has the cheepest fuel (0,89 Eur/liter), but what most of you don't know that Serbia has probably lowest pay per occupant - around 200 Euros, some might have more, some much, much less.

Hey!, I like my flashlight. Sure, it's not the Bimford model Magivered into aircraft landing lights, but it works just fine for me when looking for whatever I dropped on the floor at night...

Average salary in Croatia is around 550 EUR - it's still quite expensive to drive a BMW, even an old one, like we all have on this forum :)

And what about airbag stickers on it? Is that nearly a warning that car has air bag installed just in steering wheel?
