I see the E30 M3 came with a leather parking brake boot... The stock rubber one sucks.. I did little checking, the console & E-brake handles seem to be the same part numbers.. So I ordered one for the car. Anyone have one in their car ?

I make my boots patterned the same as the M3 leather one. Got an old boot from a member.
Keep the metal frame inside the accordion thing, they're used for the fabric ones too.
Edit: here's a pic of my version of the M3 boot with a E34 handle.

I have one in my car =].
They are great interior upgrades. The according boot is unsightly and the handle sucks. Leather is a very nice touch."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

If I remember my 95 525it has vinyl e brake boot and plastic handle.. I think the leather handle has to be purchased with parking brake....88 325is Five SpeedLachssilber

so are you guys pulling the leather brake handles off 5 series ? I did check while at work, and did see in the European ETK (e30 M3) they offer a complete leather assy. ( gulp $3**.00 dollars. I haven't had a e-barke handle off a E30 in a while... I know they slide on pretty easy.. coming off not as fun.. What do you guys find easier to remove them. Thanks !it's just a ETA !

It just pulls off, you gotta work it. It can help to heat the grip quickly with a heat gun and push from the back forward
Edit: haha, too quick with the send... yeah, the e34 handle slides right on. It's a couple inches shorter though. You should definitely ziptie the boot to it.- Josh
