it is'nt quite a 10 second job if you want tot do it properly, I had to cut into the gearstick surround (plastic) so the front lip of the handbrake console will slide under it. by doing this, the metal surround on your e21 handbrake will hit the inside of the handbrake console, so you have to bend it slightly upwards. Then you have to weld 2 bolts somewhere to put the 2 mountingscrews in. so the handbrake console will firmly in place. On the pic of AC/dennis, you can see that the lip on the handbrake console is still visible...
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!

Isn't this the same as a E28 console?

Slightly off topic, how come this e21 has so many vents in the dash.
