Why are the window switches in the center console?

Because they had crank windows originally in Europe and power windows were added later?"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

Cheaper to make the cars for right and left hand drive markets. Both markets get the same console and door panels.Tom - 85 325e for sale

LHD and RHD consoles aren't the same though. They angle differently."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

I've been wanting to move mine to the e-brake console, I'm tired of stretching my hand around the shifter to reach two at a time. Gotta get some donor pigtails to splice in though.'89 lachssilber vert - Frau Blücher
