And that is a 750iL? I believe that was the first year, BMW put the telescoping option in with the airbag-steering wheel.

My '92 has both an air bag and the telescopic steering column. -jg


The E32 cars without airbags had an option for an adjustable steering column. For some reason, for the cars WITH airbags, either they couldn't figure out how to make the steering wheel adjustable, or they simply didn't on purpose -- perhaps because of safety concerns.
