Re: (not affiliated) euro '78 633csi in WA

Ah, I thought that wheel looked familiar after all \:D/ My first BMW was an E21 320 iS, don't recall that steering wheel per se, but I was gonna say M1, figured I would get blasted for that :-" I also had an early Euro eons ago, and IIRC, the rear seat belts were added as part of the DOT proces...

Re: (not affiliated) euro '78 633csi in WA

I was thinking the same thing, rear head rests \:D/

They look cool but good luck trying to clean the inside of the rear glass :-"

Interesting steering wheel as well, not sure if I've ever seen that one :-k

Rear seat belts appear to be a DOT addition at the time of federalization :roll:

Re: Weird Side Effect of a Car with Active Exhausts

Yes, finally got to yet another project, something I purchased about a hundred years ago :roll: I had picked up a center console from a series II eons ago and finally dug it out and figured out how to mount it, which took a little figuring, since series I cars don't have these originally :-" Lu...

Hey Ralph, with all due respect, I'm fairly certain that the inner workings of the doors between series I and series II cars is vastly different :-k
