    These two things were in the engine luggage area of my 328. Do they have anything to do with the car? Search yields no clues. Thanks.

    It’s a rare early air bag...didn’t work well...like just about everything on our cars. PO likely removed it and left in the trunk.

    Morning Will,
    Are you serious? Probably a "fancy pillow" on the steering wheel would, at least look nicer, but a piece of foam? that's crappy, very crappy.

    John.

    I've never come across anything like that on the 308. I think it is from something else.

    Previous owner had hemorrhoids?

    Is the back side Velcro or felt? Looks like it could be a deformed polishing pad

    No, just two of these foam disks, same on either side. They're about the diameter of wheel, so I thought they might have been some part of the packing, protection (for the spare perhaps?) that would have been in a newly delivered car. But I doubt it, too.

    Looks like a floor machine foam buffing wheel.

    Previous owner didn't want the spare to scratch the paint in the well. Placed under the spare before it was locked down.


    Or not.

    I think that the ruler was the original fuel gauge??

    That's my thinking, and or not as well.
