Hi Taka

Good to hear from you. They both look like great cars.

I like the wheels on your 75 - think they suit the car really well.

Let us know what extras you've fitted - it looks like you like to spend some money on your cars!

Cheers

Al

The mirror is one of the new mirror / monitors built into one. This one appears to have a GPS chip built in.

I'm doing something similar very soon...

Hi, ardvark.
The mirror is monitor of car navigation system.
The 2/3 of the mirror act as monitor.
Thus, you can use it for various ways (For TV, DVD, video games etc.)
If you turn off the switch, it completely act as simple mirror.

The gauges above ALPINE head unit are room temperature, right/left side audio volume meter and voltmeter.

Mr Taka - Your mods look good, sir. Please tell me, do BMW E36 walnut grip and gear knob fit all 75s easily? Or did you have to do much work to fit them?

Fitted a bmw e36 walnut grip to the 75 auto. You have to swap the internals from the bmw knob for the 75 one
