cause i dont want to forget anyone simply because i havent read all mini forums

I feel stupid; I want to register and get an armrest, but I don't speak German and can't figure out the registration screen. I think I know where to enter user name, email twice and password (how many characters?). What do I do after that?
Thanks

I'm always the happy guinea pig I'll get one and figure it out and document the process on a web page so you all will know.

Another question is, will this part be $199 at a dealership, and if so, how is he getting it for only $123?

Thanks, Josh!

I have an armrest now, but I don't love it, and would be happy to yank it out and get this one instead. My current one sits too low and too far back for me to actually rest my arm on it... I will stay tuned!

hi !

after you have typed in your password (6 characters i believe ) all you have to do is click on "absenden" er simply hit "enter" on your keyboard!
your nick will then be activated. after that you just post here that you want one and everything will go its way !

@all

i can offer the armrest for this price cause i will be ordering quite a bunch of them

take care!

What will the be the final price including shipping and handling to the US? Please let me know. Thank-you, and do you still have ones available?

[MickyD]

Could you also please let us know how much shipping to Australia would cost?

Thanks!

[Andromcs]

Do you think the armrest will get in the way of shifting and trail braking?

No...look at the first picture. It ands at the base of the e-brake. This is a big reason why I like this one because many others I've seen come out too far and interfere with you using the handbrake. Not a problem so much when parking, but you know those days when it snows and you find that open parking lot... I would consider it more of an elbow rest.

Next thing to investigate will be height as compared to the shifter, can you shift with your arm resting on it, and will it also be OK with a short shifter, which I still would like to get some day.

Count me in.

MacMini,

I definetly want in on this group buy. I have sent you a PM, cause I was unsuccessful at registering on the german site.

Thanks, Ann

Will the armrest fit with the works seats??

[mattyc]

Any feedback on it's build quality and stablility?
i'm keen for one of these!

How does this attatch to the car ? Also does it flip up. I too would like to know how much for shipping to the USA.

Looks like Mac got swamped with requests. Since my firewall blocks me from getting to the German website, I sent him an e-mail and a PM last week requesting to get put on the list and he hasn't responded. Someone else has told me that the German board now says that he's no longer putting anyone on the list since he has over a 100 requests. Looks like I'm going to be playing the waiting game with MINI USA
