Misc e30 Connectors
-
You can buy all of this stuff new from the dealer and isnt very much money at all.
-
A lot of those connectors are made by TE. They're part of their "Junior Power Timer" series. However, sifting through all the specs and datasheets to find the exact part number you need can be a challenge because they're are a lot of different options available.
If you can get them from the dealer, that would be easier.

Unless there's an online place to order these, getting to the dealer is a huge PITA.
Mnuch easier if someone has them and can ship them. But I'll check PNs and see if somewhere online sells them.

With most of the connectors, if you buy online you have to piece-meal it together. i.e. one part number for each pin w/wire, one part number for plastic connector, etc. Also, the e30 can be tough, some of the connectors arent shown in the RealOEM catalog. The coolant level sensor plug is one of them.
@andyhundley I disagree, most times you pay $20+ for a plug/pigtail!
The coolant plug housing is listed for e32/e34, but should fit the e30. Sadly, its fricken $19 to put this one together!

Fog light stuff. Again, hilariously $28 for each!

I guess you could go with the non-watertight version of the pigtails (usually for interior connectors) and just shrink wrap them yourself to save some money, but considering these connectors are in fairly exposed places, I wouldnt.

Well, it's an E30 hungry group around here. Either the cars are bought pretty, slighty sad ones are rescued from years of PO abuse and rebuilt, or if an e30 is bought/relegated to parts status it's quickly picked clean by our friendly group of WI Bimmers "vultures".
Sorry no connectors.

@GunMetalGrey tried to give me a couple delapidated engine harnesses. I'm sure you could have one of the coolant sensor plugs if it still has one... or is that a chassis harness thing?

Thanks for the offer, but it's on the chassis harness.
Basically I need to find a parts car.
