    I bought an e46 console/armrest at a BMW salvage yard. Best mod I have made thus far. Armrest makes for a comfortable road trip.

                My e46 ones are very good in my e46 wagon. Much better than the e36 ones were.


                Also I would like to see a write up for the install above. Its the best one I have seen as well.

                    you fitted your e36 center console very well, especially in the back.

                      /\ What did you use to make it so it wouldn't be all over the place. It doesn't look mounted at all.

                            My E30 actually came with it installed, its just mounted with the stock E36 plastic block. I'll try and get some pics of just the mounting block for you guys...

                                lol - actually the switch is for the sunroof - got sick of reaching up to press the button on the roof - so moved it down to the console. Never did get around to doing the power window install :(
