Are there leather handbrake handles and boots available for the E30 318is?  Mine are both cracked and look like crap on rye.

The leather boot is available but they are listed under the 325 e30's. I got mine from an e-bay vendor in England that makes them. Not to bad of a price, I think I paid about $50 for 2 of them including shipping. Go to the UK e-bay site. As far as the leather handle goes, again you will find them listed for other models. IIRC I got mine from a 7 series, fits nice. I think most BMW's use the same handle, so most should fit.

I have an e34 leather handle, and it fits great. Thye boot is off of ebay, probly the same as the one that wise old dog is talking about. The e34 boot will work, but only with the long, stock plastic handle.
