Hi guys, under the pull out nob for the lights on the right hand side there is a square space with a cut out circle which appears to have a filter or sponge looking thing in there? Anybody know what that is?[/img]

ETK does list one.

What size is this square cut out and circle? If it's only a couple of inches across, it's the mounting position for the OBC gong.

Are you referring to the headlight leveller?

Don't worry, even if you did have the levelling knob it probably wouldn't work.

Pollen filter for some LHD only cars.

Polen was available for E30's and also for RHD models, the filter would break up in to four parts to get it past the pedals.

The exact same place as on the LHD cars (where the AC evaporator would be).
