Hey guys

will the e30 ebrake laver bolt into an e21?

I'm pretty sure they will, the e30s I have driven had very similar e-brake levers to the e21. IIRC, the e36 was the model where they started going to the smaller more ergonomic lever, but I'm not positive... it's a toss-up whether it will fit or not. Part of me says yes, part says no.

i have often wondered this myself. i must admit this is one part of the e21 i am not too fond of! and advice from the masters? :buttrock

What PART of the lever? You mean the cover behind the handle? Just tell me what you're talking about and I'll try it. I've got the cover from the M3 (leather) and the 318 (accordian thingy) that I can play with to see. I just don't understand WHAT you want to switch out.

BTW, say a Euro 323 with a nice mod. It had part of the center console from an e28 that surrounds the ebrake handle. They too have the ebrake centered (not offset to the left like the e30/e36), so it was something to cover the carpet right there. It is also JUST wide enough to fit between the center console outer runners of the e21. Looked pretty good.....too bad I didn't have my camera on me to show you all.....

bump.....still waiting to know what PART of the handle you are trying to fit....

hey bro,

I am trying to fit the actual lever, not the base though, just the lever, will it work?

I'll check. Why though? A lever is a lever for the most part, right? I'll still see what I can do with it tom....

couple reasons, first the e21 levers are terrible, plus i wanna buy the e-brake lever handle that matches my shift nob, which is only avaliable for the e30.
