    Default Custom arm-rest / console box.

    Here is my home build ply-wood armrest that is functional and also useful to store items like pens, CDs, phones etc. Take a look

    Also, check out the *most* gadget filled cockpit of any E34, bar none!. All gadgets functional!. Not for show, but for use and abuse.

    Why would anyone in their right mind put a bunch of crap to clutter up their cockpit for show? I like jonk's approach of making it looks like its supposed to be there.

    Default Agreed that its cluttered.

    The Bluetooth module is the culprit as it has module controller and speaker. That will go. This retired pseudo track car will be for sale. I have little use for it now that I am enjoying the touring much more.

    My touring will not be cluttered at all as I have learned from Version 1.0 experiment.

    Kris, the Apexis were rather simple to install. Splicing ECU pins directly. The wire routing is via conduit from passenger side to ECU chamber. Thats the hardest part. The SC never got installed, so the boost controller is showing the "Injector Duty cycle" readout. Months of reseach were spent figuring out the wiring. I got it right first time, so was rather happy. The M20 motor is rather preppy considering its pretty much out-of-date technology, still a fun car to drive ...
