Could it be a right-hand-drive anomaly?

(Edit: This should be post #3 in the thread. Damn forum clock!)

I can't remember if it was on this forum or another, but someone asked for pics of my E34's armrests. Apparently there's something unique about them. They look pretty normal to me.

Anyway, here they are:

The ones on ebay, and in every other picture I've seen, are half the width of yours. Those look quite comfortable.

Same here. Driver side can only realistically be used when travelling long distance and handbrake will not be used. Mine is always up as well.
