Hand brake button missing?

Hi, I picked up my new 318i cab yesterday and noticed the hand brake button is missing?
Any ideas on a repair, spare part etc.

Missing, or has the handgrip partly slipped off and is covering what should be the exposed part of the button?
Parts are available: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/T ... e_control/ , but most would just fit a second hand replacement.

Thanks Brian it looks like the bottom is stuck inside the housing.

Make sure the grip is pushed right back. You won't be the first on here to have been fooled by this!

Cheers gents, I now have a working button on the handbrake. The button was just "lost" inside the cover........ Simples.....
Used a product to try and give me a clear rear window, early days but it looks 100% better with just two coats on

I will have other issues I have no doubt and will need you help.
