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...

my 50 cents, It doesnt suit the E21 interior style.
And yes, first and next car in my collection will be E24.

ac/dennis also used that one on his 323i that is currently for sale...

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