Aahh, spring is here and we're all ready to tackle the really important stuff.

It depends on what model Armlehne Kappe Auslöser [armrest lid actuator] you have:

1] DUH - [Available on most 124s]
Functions perfectly in your hand, but either keeps lid open or closed when installed.
2] NEW - [Replaced by DUH & MAX]
Opens the lid at the appropriated speed allowing one hand retrieval of the analog telephone, that nobody has anymore, therefore replaced by anything you find in the bottom of a woman's purse or a DIYers 30 yr old tool box, the kids' lunch cards and a speeding ticket - ooops
3] AAA (Automatischer Armlehne Auslöser) [with user & automatic weight sensor control] - [Available currently on eBay and soon for customer pick up at factory in Sindelfingen, Germany]
Can propel any object at the exact speed and trajectory:
[a] from a jelly bean to a Quarter-Pounder into the center rear seat passenger's mouth or
[b] from a used spark plug against the head of complaining little bugger in the 3rd row seat to a biscuit into the mouth of "man's best friend" who replaced the little bugger.
