<E30> 325ic Newby questions

[peacock@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I am a brand spanking new Bimmer (having transfered in from the world of MBz 
after two decades).  I am working to semi-restore (not in too bad a shape to 
start with) a 87 325ic.
	
After checking the FAQ and Bentley's Bible there are still a few (rather 
mundane, I'm sure) questions I have regarding my new "project."
Hope you can help...

1. Where can I pick up an Owner's Manual for this baby..
2. The "Check" warning light above the service indicators is an indicator for 
what...
3. The "black box" front dead center of the roof, appears to have warning 
indicators in a column to the left of the well labled table of lights.  What's in the 
column (if anything...I can't quite make it out).
4. The previous owner installed a brand new "rag-top" prior to my purchase and 
had it installed.  However just behind the rear left and right windows the roof 
has gaps allowing one to see outside.  Is this normal or was the roof installed 
incorrectly... Can you point me in the direction for corrective measures.
and ....
5.  The previous owner installed a new clutch plate.  However the gear shift was 
aligned in such a way that shifting into 1st and 3rd causes the gear shift to hit 
the plasting molding at the base of the leather boot.  Can you point me in the 
direction for realigning the gear shift more toward the rear of the shift area.

Thanks for your help.  Sorry to be so elementary but we all have to start 
somewhere.
