Facts
- All six-cylinder (M20) E30s had a rev counter and an econometer as standard. Entry-level cars could have a clock where the rev counter would otherwise sit.[2]
- The service interval indicator used a row of five green, one yellow and one red LED for oil changes, plus a separate inspection light. The red LED meant the service was roughly 1,000 miles overdue.[2]
- The check control panel warned of low coolant, oil and washer fluid and of failed bulbs, with a CHECK light in the centre of the dashboard.[2]
- An optional on-board computer could take the place of the centre-console clock, in two versions with either 6 or 13 buttons.[2]
- The 320is used the M3 instrument cluster, which has an oil temperature gauge where other E30s have the fuel economy gauge.[1]
