Tilt steering wheel - 328i????

Greetings gang. This might be a stupid question, but the manual for my car says there is a tilt wheel. Yet, when I look under the column, there is like some medal plate there. Is it supposed to have one? It's a '98 328i.

Yeup, I know, stupid question probably. Thanks.

The tilt wheel was offered early in the e36 production. I *think* the last model year it was offered was 94. After that point, new crash and safety regulations deemed it less safe. Instead of reengineering it, BMW just dropped it.

98 is probably too new to have it.

My old man was amazed that it doesn't have a trunk release inside the car.

No tilt on either my '95 325is or my fiance's 97 328is. Come to think of it, my dad's '96 328ic doesn't have it either.

One of those little things that irritate me, I suppose. Not huge, though.

My 328 does not have it, but my brother-in-law's 95 325 does. I don't need it, so i don't miss it.
