Door Handle

[M42Technik]

ive always wondered why people have had getting trouble out of my car. its pretty straight forward, no hidden handles like on some cars.

Agreed. Use your other hand and reach over. Everyone reaches for the front of the door in vain and confused. It doesn't help that E30's don't have the best lighting situation.

I was considering moving the doorhandle up front where the crank handle would be since I have lots of houndstooth fabric...would that be cool?

anyone who hasn't been an e30 owner has been baffled trying to get out of my car at least once.

and every passenger! lol

i was actually wondering about this the other day. it makes sense, but maybe they shouldve changed the location for US models... then we'd have one more euro part to drool over

[JAM]

people that ride in my e30 are always confused by this, especially when its dark out

I just tell everyone that the e30 was built for track driving more than street so the handle is in the middle of the door because it forces you to turn your body in the correct direction to exit quicker in the event something goes wrong. It's complete bs but it sounds cool, lol!

Ever closed a door on a nice 944? Best door-closing noise EVER. Just a clean, mechanical click. Nothing like it, expecially modern stuff.

You are not joking, it's such a mechanical, simple sound that you almost want to double check that it closed all the way.
