Arm rest too far back ?
I probably should ask who has long arms instead....but seriously....do you think the arm rest is a bit too far back ?
I have even adjusted the wheel as far out as it goes to see if perhaps my arm was just too short. It appears the way the arm rest is designed, the area that I would normally rest my arm is missing ? why chop off the arm rest in the top left corner ? Why not have a shorter handbrake? On the E46 - It seemed much easier to "rest the arm" while holding the steering wheel... |

To be honest, I haven't really noticed when I drove one.

Funny! Have you tried grabbing a soft drink out of that rediculously placed cooled beverage holder in there? I think you need to be double jointed to grab it without completely twisting in your seat.

thanks E90Fleet but it appears from your photo that the two piece arm rest has the same problem - see the missing piece of armrest from the driver side ? that's the area that my elbow likes to rest on...

Yes, When I was in Munchen picking up my car 2 weeks ago...I went into a dealership and tried a car with the moving armrest...it is great...It moves Fw. enough for even the shortest of arms....I think the price was about $300 when translated in USD...
Thanks.
