12:54 NO it did NOT have Oxygen Sensor, we call it Air Mass Meter here in Sweden, but the E30 did not had one, the E34 and 36 had them. and broke often in the early year models, i changed two of them on two different cars. BUT i know American BMW cars could be very different motor wise compared to Europe, so a late E30 might had one. and specially if it was sold new in California?? just one example, a American E36 M3 was just a European 328 or 330 with the body looks of a M3.
@@PulkaSkurken Yea I figured this but the car had a newer header pipe with a hole for 02 sensors so how do you know if it’s tuned or w e? This was first day walk around. I knew it wasn’t all stock.
7:30 That is a common issue on the E30, and it was common 20 years ago, powersteering leaking due to tube corrosion so the hoes dont seal it properly under pressure.
No as a old Swedish BMW owner (owned and drived BMW for 20 years, now i drive VW instead. new BMWs are fugly AF.), mostly E34 and E36, you DO NOT want remove the AC unit you will never be able to get it properly sealed if you dont have all the parts and tool that the BMW Serivce garages have. its better for the system to keep it in place and keep it sealed. will only give you problems later with corrosions and other stuff. also here in Europe those old is filled with gas that is illegal to refill outside a proper BMW Service garage or like a AGA Service depot. So to make you life easier and not buying a tone of spare parts for you 1980is AC, i recommend let it sit.
@@PulkaSkurken first it’s not sealed at all. It’s also completely locked up on the pulley clutch so it should be removed. I do have equipment to catch the old R22 toxic gasses. It can be replaced with new AC unit and R134 gas non toxic. Thanks for all the comments.
I got this antique E30 in the shop and was so happy until it turned into a disaster.
