Cruise control stalk are they interchangeable between years?

Hi Guys,

Hoping to fit cruise control to my '88 build 525.

I can get parts for everything else except the stalk. The ETK lists that I need cruise stalk p/n 61 31 1 389 640 which is for models built upto 09/89 without airbag. These are like hens teeth and I cant find a donor one from this year, obviously not many people ticked the option box for it back then :D

Does anyone know if the stalk built for non air bag cards after 09/89 would still fit? The connector fit looks the same...

Cheers in advance!

It will fit. The cars with EWS have a different stalk. Also the stalk is different between airbag/non airbag cars.

Where are you Henry?
I've got one here from a '94 if you want to try it.
