Question
I have removed a relay located on the a-pillar, left hand near the speaker because it was draining the battery over a time period of 3 to 4 days. I cannot find out what the relay does, I have called BMW and they cannot tell me. I have driven the car and every thing is operating fine. Any ideas what this relay does? The vin is

Answer
Michelle,
 I own an '87 Convertible, and I've never noticed any relays on the pillar.  Where EXACTLY on the pillar is it?  Is it behind the speaker?  What made you select that as the reason for the drain?

 Thanks for the info... I'm very interested to know...

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
