crystal ball...what the heck

[Kibokojoe]

Was cleaning the dash and had removed the speaker grill on the left side of the dash expecting to see a speaker but no I found a glass ball. Whats up with that?

[Dave M]

Wait.....did it speak to you? Damn, I have the same problem with my washing machine.

No ideas, just post whoring :)

glass balls are cool, maybe find another one and make one of them clickety click things that they made in the 70s that exploded into kids eyes...sounds like a good idea to me.

anyone need a pet rock? It's potty trained too!

I remember those, they were almost as deadly as lawn darts

Thats evidence that a gypsy stole your speakers. Better get her tears, you may have aids now.

















This thread is hillarious, lets see some pics of this crystal ball.

[dacoyote]

that is no crystal ball... it's a space station

[Kibokojoe]

You mean I have stumped the bimmer database??? No body else has seen this gizmo before? Wow amazing.

[DaveVoorhis]

Take a picture. I thought you were joking, or hallucinating, or something.

[Boone.Msi]

Di-Lithium Crystals, ye fools! Warp factor six, Mr. Sulu!!

[Elekta]

[Barney Paull-Edwards]

Its a doppel-knocker flopper stopper,only fitted to one side as the german haus-frau who put the dash in needed the other one.

[Kibokojoe]

This is great. This is a great sight.

Took the cover back off and poke the glass with my finger and discovered it was cracked. Also found out it is not glass at all it some kind of plastic. If I were to guess I would say it is a speaker but the weirdest looking speaker I have ever seen. If it is a speaker what is the purpose of the ball in the center of the cone? Guess its time to change out all of the speakers.

In 89, BMW experimented with using a borosilicate/plastic composite dash speaker. I've heard of purists paying $2500. for one of the original ''boroplast'' speakers... not sure if yours could get any cash though -- since it's broken and you fingerpoked it.

{in gypsy voice} I forsee you buying a new speaker for your car...

[Kibokojoe]

So I am not out of my mind. Boroplast speaker. Sounds like something from Star Trek

[attack eagle]

Better check that you have a spare tire and not a Horta. :) Darn silicone nodules.

no you're definitely out of your mind... i made up boroplast to exacerbate your insanity

[Kibokojoe]

Actually I have a friend who is more tech geeky than I am he knows how to repair them using a contact lens and a special adhesive. Never head of Boroplast though. Got to be something made up. And considering the jokers on this site I would lean towards made up.

Star Wars... Obi-Wan: That's no moon. It's a space station.
