E34 Cassette partition???

[DaveVoorhis]

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...?

That'd be this:




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.

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

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 could actually use one of those for a little project im working on. Does anyone have the part # for it?

Dave, can you tell me where the hole is? I have a hole in mine and originally thought it was because of a phone mounted by the previous owner, but I now suspect that maybe my E34 came with this cassete thing, long gone now.

The hole is at the back, toward the rear seats. It's a pretty big hole, too -- big enough to stick three or four fingers through it.

Just went out to have a look at mine. I have a large hole near the back (but on the bottom bit, not on any sides) and I can just squeeze one finger in it. It also has three smaller holes in a semi-circular fashion around it, but on the front side towards the gear shifter.

So I guess this was something else then with my E34.
