New Interior Mod

[Bryson]

TJ, if you're OC like me, which I'd imagine you are with that car, you'll quickly notice that the base on those is not flat like the e30 center console. I almost hacked up a console to fit em before realizing that. Whew

edit: the proper ones come from the e36 sunroof or the rear panels of a 4 door

[Jand3rson]

Why not just sand the bottoms of the bezels until flat or near flat to sit more flush on the console? I've talked to several guys in the UK who did just that, and theirs look fine.

[Bryson]

The top of the bezel is still curved....
Keep in mind that the switch is not curved either, so it matches best with the flat bezels

You may do whatever you like, I was merely pointing out the fact that they don't work perfectly in an e30.

Eh, so I'll go down to the stealer and get some flat bezels. They can't be too much. :D Trust me, Bryson. I have MAD OC about shit like that.

Good point, I see what you are saying now.

[Chapel]

I would like that writeup
I can host it.

[Jand3rson]

I told Chapel this over AIM, but I don't want anyone hosting it. I didn't write it, and I don't know how to contact the author. I've had it for a little over a year, because someone sent it to me.

I'm going to write a MUCH better, MUCH more detailed procedure with MUCH better pics next month when I do my swap.

[Addissimo]

are the e36 switches illuminated?

[Jand3rson]

are the e36 switches illuminated?

Yes, most of them are. Use the switches with a white base.

[Addissimo]

awesome... thanks.

[Jand3rson]

Just wanted to let everyone know, I ordered new flat bezels for the window swtiches at the dealer today, they were $2.09 each.

[Sean]

Wow, those dealers are a bitch.

But, you only got two. So, that's not tooo bad.

Yeah, I had one already, but I'm saving it for when I swap the sunroof switch.
