    Yours must be a Series 1, then. Electronic controls started with the Series 2.

    My 85' 400i series 2 has cable controls for the heater temp and directing the air flow.

    Uh Nope,

    When people reffer to cable controls on a S1 vs S2 400i they are talking about the trunk, gas door, hood, etc. not the fresh air controls.
    On a S1 car those are manual but on a S2 car those are controlled by a solonoid.
    Your car is a S2, no cable controls.

    Here is an S1 console and a S2 console:

    My controls are like the second picture above i.e. S2.

    Mark, I found the rubber plug and bolt in the center. So I am going to assume you are right about the rest.

    Remember this all started with me needing to have my leather on the main dash stretched a bit to fill the gap to the wiper rail piece. I will get it done without with the rail in place.

    Dave,
    Nope and yeps aside, why are the controls in the right photo (blue interior) swapped right from left from mine? Is it a manual / automatic thing?

    Exactly correct. Auto and 5-speeds have different layouts on the center console.

    ...and I've never been able to figure out why. You have any idea?

    No idea.
    Are they they same for both types that left or right hand drive?
