1987 BMW 325

The perpetual project car. Started life as an immobile eta. Currently waiting for the S52 to return from being built for 700whp of turbo power. MCoupe suspension, new fuel system, brake lines (incl metal), electronics (management/monitoring). Jamming 275/40/17 all around for now, next phase will involve flares of some kind and 3xx rubber.

May I ask how you handled those yellow,cylindrical,things on the ABS sensor wire, right before it goes through the wheel well? I'm trying to keep my ABS, those things are crumbling, and I don;t know what to replace them with. Can I just use a connector with the same Ohms? Is it a fusible link? An NTC? If I found out what it truly is, I can take care of it. Sorry to bother, just reaching out to any knowledgeable E30 person.-JD

My car is non-abs but it's just a VR sensor, should just be a connector (pull apart). I asked some other knowledgeable e30 folk and they concur.
