I like the 1992 E34 brochure with the overhead shot of the E34 touring complete with the jammed open double sunroof. :D

I have the UK version of this M3 brochure.

Spot the two mistakes.

I was shocked when i spotted the most obvious!

Also of note, in the UK version which has the same pic, the radio is not the Sony model but a Blaupunkt SRR88 Memphis! :cool:

Well spotted on the dogleg, the UK one does have a dog leg.

US spec cars didnt have a dog leg box, not sure about Jap spec.

The KMH speedo is correct for jap.

Keep looking.

One is so obvious!

It has that extra button by the electric windows
Is the hazard lights position swapped with rear window heater ?

Extra button is correct but.......

It's upside down!

That's one mistake.

They are vertical stitch from a 325i/320i/318i etc saloon.

M3's and cabrio's have horizontal stitch.

The symbol is upside down.

It's an overload switch for the widows and sunroof. If an excessive load is placed on either of them during operation it pops up.

On pre sept '87 built E30's its up next to the hazard and heated rear window switches.
