i would say the easyiesy would be along the passanger side, if you run them behind the glovebox and down, you can hide the rest underneath the plastic door moulding and then under the back seat. youll see theres an open also that goes into the trunk. while your at it, punch out the steel peice that the ski hatch is suppose to be. assuming you dont have the ski hatch....

i ran mine right down the middle... took out the entire middle, under the carpet, under the back seat and through the opening for the ski hatch... not a single wire is visible... i was going to run it through the passenger but if your car is anything like mine, most of the screws will not budge

the way i did it on my gold e30 was running the wires on the driverside, only because when you take out the rear seats there is already a hole where all the other wires are running into the trunk, near the top of the seat.
good luck .

i had a little bit of trouble getting through all the layers under the carpet, but it's clean... if you looked at the install, you would never guess wires were under there

DO NOT run RCAs on the P.S, that is were the power runs you get noise in the RCAs, run down the D.S.......

Thes best place to run any such wires is down the drivers side. Both sides have deep channels in the rocker panel that have plenty of room left to run more wire. The passenger side has a 2 large power cables if your e30 has a rear mount battery and I'd advise not running them down that way.
