Can the E28 central console fit exactly on the E21, or are there any mods needed?

some mods are needed, you have to cut some material from the gearbox stick console.
I welded some small bolts to the handbrake lever piece, so you can screw the e28 in place using the excisting brackets.

hmm...I would be interested to see some pictures in order to understand what the result is, especially on points where the mods are done

I don't know if you are a technical guy, but just buy the piece and try fitting it youreself, not hard at all...

Id not bother at all tbh I like the carpet.

well, I also love the look of the "half" console of the E21 with the carpet upholstered part of the middle tunnel...
However, I have in mind some electrical facilities for the future, such as electric windows or heated seats (Ok, things I may NEVER do in the end...) and I was thinking where to fit the switches...(In order not to loose the useful space in the old, non ac console under the ashtray...)

you can fit switches either side of the stereo - plenty room there, or perhaps either side of the gearstick?
