Hi Duke,
Try ebay.com (US) for e-brake consoles, leather consoles are offered (almost)every month; the e-brake console from an e24 is the same by the way. Later L6/ highline models always have the leather e-brake console in the US (you should know that!<img src=http://bilder.parsimony.net/smilies/zwinker.gif alt=zwinker>).
Centre consoles are quite rare since they have to come from M5's. A friend of mine bought one on ebay.de recently for 100 euros in tan. Looking at your pictures you could also switch to the original aircon-console with the seperate ac-surrounding bezel. You can then buy the leather parts at bmw new 1 at a time so you won't get a seizure..<img src=http://bilder.parsimony.net/smilies/updown.gif alt=updown>
Good luck on your quest, Steffen.

Thank you.
I am in Germany and live in Parsberg.
The car is very close to running with the M106 turbo engine now. I installed the drive shaft and exhaust last night. I have a few minor details to take care of and then install the TEC3 engine computer and wire all of the sensors. I hope to have the car at a few BMW shows this summer.
I would really appreciate it if you guys can find me a leather covered center and hand brake console. I have been looking for almost two years now.
All the best,
Duke
