Aircon buttons.
Asking for a friend.
Anyone got a pair of the wee square aircon buttons for a '97 1.9?
(The switch looks similar to my '98 2.8!)
Cheers, Ian.

Re: Spare wheel
Hi Bonzo, they were fitted to the car when I bought it over 3 years ago and have never driven a standard 2.8 to compare.
All I know is that there is still loads of low rpm torque and at higher revs it spins up really quickly!

125K on a 2.8 is nothing if it's been regularily serviced. I have owned many 6pot Beemers (and 4pot) some with twice that mileage and running like new. Before my Zed, I had an E46 328CI auto with same motor as my Zed, and it had almost 170K and ran perfectly!
