I'd check the distance and time to the stop sign and drive the distance in another direction. As far as the time is concerned; I would let the car idle for about 50% of the time it takes to drive to the stop sign and then drive that direction. What would I accomplish with that you may ask? Just to ...
I did this job on the wife's E30 some years ago. From memory, there are loads of shims and I think maybe a "ball & socket" assembly. You need to go to your main agent and work through the exploded parts diagram with him. A fiddly job, but well worth the effort!
If you have the wings, get them on the car - many people will still not wish to have to get them fitted. Otherwise, aim to sell the car for ?2250-?2500 and sell the wings separately to help make up the shortfall.

An entrepreneur could ship a dozen dashboards and I'm sure he could sell them for a good profit. The problem with sending a packing case is that charges are made on e...
That looks similar to mine (non M), in that thanks to sitting outside for much of its life mine looks pretty bad on top, but once you get underneath it's actually in fairly good nick for the age. From the ebay description, plus what the vendor said, I get the impression that its not as good as your...
You'll certainly have to remove the console over the gearbox. Maybe it will be possible to leave the top of the dash in situ, but IMO it will be a real PITA to do. Even more complicated if you have aircon. May be easier for you to bypass the heater matrix and not use the car in the winter
