Center Console Issues

Post by gte619n »

Hey guys,

So I thought I found a great replacement for my mutilated center console on my 85 M635CSi, but when I went to swap them today, the new part doesn't fit. It's slightly shorter with a different front shape than my original. I'm wondering if I have a different model car, or if the euro M635CSi had a different part.

Is the center console for the M635CSi different than all the other 6s?

Thanks!

That's an interesting question, and my guess would have been that all the consoles for a manual gearbox would be the same. I've got mine sitting right here next to me on the dining room table (wife's not home) because I just remounted the OBC. Lowe's has the M3 x 10mm screws, but the heads are a bit small, so I bought some M5 washer's and the combination works well. My car's a Euro, but not an M, let mem know if you'd like some measurements, just to compare.
