Bro.. what you need to do is cut the front part which i've
drawn on the pic for about 1cm or mayb least then that and the console will sit nicely...
This is because the E46 console is slightly longer then our E36....
But be careful you need to cut it NGAM-NGAM otherwise the whole console will lose..
You need to have the tools to cut it too, otherwise is will damage the console...
