E34 Cassette partition???

I could have sworn that I have seen an E34 with a section in the center partition that had little slots for casettes, am I dreaming or is this a real part...?

I have read-
"cassette box" and "0690 Cassette Box" or "690"
http://www.bimmerinfo.com/option_codes.htm
Even a refrigerator box... "525"

I couldn't find it with the search, just carfax threads.
Hope to hear back!

This guy might have them, although not right now. He has quite a few interesting E34 tidbits for sale from time to time.

The part might look a bit like this:

Also for some reason a very vague bell rings about those cassette partitions -- I believe Paul in NZ might have them. Don't hold me up to my word though.

I removed it because I put in a CD player and the lid kept flipping open by itself. Unfortunately, it left a hole in the console because it's wired with a wee light, so I had to replace the console. One of these days, I'll sell it and a shed full of other stray and mostly useless E34 bits on eBay.

I had one of those too. I got rid of it cos it kept flipping up as well. So I sold it on ebay for 99p. Good riddance!

The best thing to go in there is the mini fridge.

Cheers,

Shaun

Good deal, because 99p is about £1.27 more than it's worth. :D

HAHAHAHA! Nice one - might have been a nice little addition to any car in like 1975, but those little pop-up holder things are so easy to break. I bet they cost a small fortune when new.

I'm actually going to go get one of those $29 mini fridges they are selling at Mervyns right now... It's only about the width of the center console/armrest, so it will fit quite nicely inbetween the two child seats... and give me somewhere to put bottles on day trips where they won't spoil or leak.

Only problem is that now I really need to fab up an extra power outlet/lighter in the rear of the console... anyone done this or is there just not enough room behind there?

I have the one that fits in the door, not sure the part #... and i haven't taken it out for some reason either. haha

Your car doesnt have one?

nope... just a blank plastic plate. Was that an factory option on some of them?
EDIT: Found the blank and lighter inserts on real oem. Had never even thought to look fir such a thing... THANKS A BUNCH! Saved me a bunch of fab time.
