why does engine start stop button look crooked?

John 070 · 12-03-2006, 11:59 PM

If you look at the button (unless mine is defective), it seems like the word "Start" etc. is not level....S is lower than t. I see it on mine, never noticed it in test cars or other E9x that I sat in, but is clearly that way too in the brochure. Is there a reason for that?

i guess everyone was having such a big smile on their face whenever they hop into their car that their eyes are too small to see all those detail~

Lol, take a pic and post

Robbie! · 12-04-2006, 07:35 AM

ummmmmmmmmm quit looking @ the button so carefully just press it and drive your car

txusa03 · 12-04-2006, 09:21 AM

Looks Ok to me.

ever consider getting your eye check?

txusa03 · 12-04-2006, 09:27 AM

here are some reference lines. Just remember, the surface is slightly curve so if you look at it a an angle, it might look crooked. My photo might be off to the side a little but I do not see anything bad about it.

Let see your start button...

Was your car assembled during World Cup 2006 by any chance?? If yes, there's your answer.

One too many beers, perhaps?

That's how you adjust the boost for the turbos... If you turn it so that it is straight, you will increase your boost. But then, your car will overheat, the fuel pump will break, the sunroof will leak and the seat belt presenter will go through your windshield.

Need to look at it relative to the dash. The brochure is the same. I decided to return the car and get an e36 which doesn't have the button.

canuck335i · 12-04-2006, 05:22 PM

"engine" looks a little curved to my eyes...

jasper · 12-04-2006, 05:33 PM

my e46 325i doesn't have a start button but the key does look crooked

ALPINE6SPD · 12-04-2006, 05:35 PM

did you notice the curves on the outside of the car also?

krafty04 · 12-04-2006, 05:41 PM

toolfan · 12-04-2006, 05:47 PM
