I installed an E46 console

[dude8383]

Hmm. For what it's worth, there's an E46 "short console" which will get you the cupholders without the armrest, and which won't extend nearly as far back. It's what I've got in my M3 because I hatehatehate the armrest height.

pics!

It wasn't a sports car when it came out. The M3 is a sports car.

What would be better fit, e46 or e36 console?

I just did some searching and it seems like everyone states the e46 would fit better.

Would I need a coupe or sedan console?
