Clutch switch possibly.

I agree with the clutch switch diagnosis. It is adjustable so try adjusting it before shelling out for a new one. 

only 1 out of 10 times that ive worked on a brake/clutch switch issue was the switch actually bad, the rest of the time it has just needed adjustment.

Since mid-summer of last year I've been gathering parts for air ride. (Yea it took a while. Buying e30 stuff gets in the way. Haha) I've had the struts since summer and I just ordered my management. I have air lift performance struts and will be using switchspeed management.

Are your mirrors properly folded in for winter?

Passenger side yes drivers side no. Haha

In the trunk of my car on the drivers side there is a wiring harness that does not plug into anything. I figured I could splice into a remote power wire there. I'm just curious what it is for. It is not for the cd changer. Anyone know what it's for?

Optional security system? My e36 had a plug for that in the trunk.

If I remember right there was more than just one plug. But you could be right. I'll get a picture of said harness tomorrow.

[nick.e46.330i.]

This is the harness I'm talking about.

That has to be the cd changer. Alarms are usually behind the glovebox (where my compacts is) and the e46 disc changer is on the drivers side and looks to use multiple plugs

[patsbimmer1]

I would agree ^^^ that definitely looks like some kind of audio bundle.

[nick.e46.330i.]

I have the disc changer in my car though. That's why I'm not too sure.

To follow up on that wiring harness in the trunk. I googled the part number on the big plug. It comes up as the plug for Bluetooth.

[jc43089]

Interesting, I didn't know that was an option back then.

BMW was one of the firsts to have Bluetooth integration and the first for iPod support.

Slowly starting to put my air ride in. Started on putting a wood floor in the trunk. I wanted to get the trunk put together last night so I could stain the wood but it started to rain.

What color are you staining it?  I love me some Minwax "Early American".

[nick.e46.330i.]

I think I'll be getting semi solid cordovan brown that Cabot makes. Reason for that is it looks like it'll match the wood interior trim I have.

[nick.e46.330i.]

I got the floor all together today. It's hinged in two places. On top in the back and on the bottom in the front. Now all that needs to be done is to stain the wood!

I like it, the air ride equipment will be underneath in the spare tire well I assume?
