I have a M-Tec 2 wheel from my E30 M3 restoration project that I was thinking would look good in my 540. The car has an airbag, so does anyone know how to do this without it exploding in my face,and would removing this mean the airbag light would stay on all the time ? The car is a UK spec RHD model.
Also, does anyone have the 4 brackets that hold the engine cover in place onto the intake throttle body, part numbers 3,4,5 and 6 in the online ETK.

Valve cover gaskets , do I need to use and gasket sealent of any type when fitting new parts ? If so ,what kind is best ?
One more thing, has anyone ever bought a second hand panel ( such as a door )for their car in the same color ? Mine has a large dent in the n/s rear door and as this is a kinda budget car, I'm thinking of looking out for a Sterling Silber door to just bolt on, but was wondering what the color match would be like.
As a side note, finally got around to replacing ther throttle cable today, and what a difference it made. The old one had a kink in it which caused some slight binding that I'd learned to live with,but which made for jerky throttle modulation. Also gave the engine bay a damn good clean and the same for the rest of the car too. Have some new plugs ,air filetr, oil and filter and the valve cover gaskets to replace next weekend too. Should be finally looking and driving good again.
