95 Vs 96-99 Interiors

Side airbags started in 98 I think. I know my 97 doens't have them.

[m3f_M3AN_5f4dc0ba80]

when did the side air bags start on the m3? 97?



August 1997, European market.

Brent: You have tilt steering? I didn't that was an option on the e36's at all. Darn. Was it only available on 95's, or am I lost on this one?

[m3f_95RogueM3]

Tilt wheels were only put on early 95 production cars (prior to 10/94 anyway)



I know I have heard the reason before but I cant remember it now.

In late 1998 they used a cheaper Leather than Nappa. During this time they removed the stripes from the seat and placed them on the headrest.

Are you sure about that? My friends 99's have the same interior as my early 98.

My 99 has nappa and the stripes on the seats as well.
