Arm rest

YOYO1111 · 12-13-2010, 02:45 PM

Is anyone else bothered by the arm rest while shifting gears on their E92s? I moved it back and it still bothers me. I'm driving now with the arm rest open/up. It's the only way I'm comfortable shifting.

I still awaiting delivery of mine, but my girlfriend's dad has a 2009 E92, and every time I drove it, I thought the same thing. I didn't want to mess with it, since it wasn't my car and I didn't want to go changing everything around, but its something I was planning on adjusting when I first take delivery...

Armrest was made that way to accommodate DCT

It feels a lot more comfortable when I push it up, rather then push it back... Never seem to have that problem of discomfort while shifting..

armrest doesn't bother me as it used to, time will tell?

since the armrest splits i have the driver side pushed all the way back. works well in this position for me.

My M3 has an arm rest? Cool, never noticed it. :-)

My Canadian spec M3 doesn't have the split armrest, but I find the non split armrest perfectly comfortable.
