Re: 8-series Factory Wood Kit on Ebay (archive)

Hey Mark,
I am very interested in the actual factory wood kit. The only problem I have is that I have a 1991 850i and I don't know if it will fit. I have a suspicion that most of the pieces will fit?? but I don't know. The main consul piece of course appears to have more switch holes than mine, but I would still be very interested if you thought that it would all fit properly in my car. Since you have just done the job perhaps you could tell me what car model and year that you have and exactly how hard it was to exchange and if you think it will work in my car. jPerhaps we can save you the hassle of the Ebay process.
Thanks, Kurt

I have a '96 840ci....if you look at the picture on Ebay, you will see that it has cutouts for two switches on each side....The BMW parts are the same for all 8-series, so the pieces will fit every 8-series....however, if you have more than two switches on each side, you will have to cut a new switch hole in the main console piece...if you have less than two on each side, I would fill it with a factory dummy switch, which should be pretty cheap.....

All the other parts will fit with no alteration....
