e30 instrument cluster

[Mendozart]

Does anybody have a write-up on the e30 instrument cluster? I've found about 4 good ones for the e34, but I was working on my uncle's 87'325ic and it's a little different. Is there a good e30 forum out there? I'm definately spoiled by this forum.

While you are talking about the E30, I got one question from someone:


88 325iC and the OBC barely lights and I can't seem to get it to reset to US Miles, temp. Stays in km and celsius.

Are there bulbs inside which can be replaced similar to the BC II and IV or are they soldered?
And resetting to US miles and temp.?
Is there any instruction on the net or someone can let me know?

Not sure Shogun, I'll try to suss it out at work tomorrow for you.

replace the bulb pack it's about $25, it slides in from the right side so you gotta pull the obc out to do it, to change it to us you set it to mpg then push the little recessed button and that switches it over, needs to be done whenever power is lost
