Purpose and function in the BMW G20 G21 LCI cockpit

The presented ashtray is a component of the center console assembly in facelifted (LCI) BMW 3 Series G20/G21 models. It is an integral part of the Dashboards and center tunnel, responsible for aesthetically closing the space in front of the gear selector or control panel. The lidded design allows for discreet storage of small items and helps maintain order in the driver and passenger area.

High Gloss finish and interior fitment

The element is designed as a console trim in a High Gloss finish, ensuring consistency with factory high-gloss lacquered trims. The smooth surface facilitates cleaning, while the precisely selected shade and geometry guarantee a visual match with other BMW cockpit components. Thanks to precise fitment, the ashtray does not protrude from adjacent panels after installation and does not cause unwanted gaps.

Functional characteristics and installation

As an original BMW part, the Centre Console Ashtray BMW G20 G21 LCI Interior Trim Cover Storage High Gloss is prepared for installation in factory mounting points. The lidded storage solution:

• organizes the space in the center tunnel,
• provides convenient access for the driver and passenger,
• protects the interior from loose small items,
• maintains a consistent, tidy look in the center area.

Using this part allows for an economical repair or restoration of the factory interior look without the need to purchase a new part, while maintaining original geometry and manufacturing standards.

Practical aspects of using pre-owned BMW parts

Choosing a pre-owned Centre Console Ashtray BMW G20 G21 LCI Interior Trim Cover Storage High Gloss is a sensible solution for repairs following mechanical damage, replacing worn trim elements, or completing missing panels after disassembly. An original second-hand part maintains the proper fit to the dashboard structure, which reduces the risk of installation issues typical of aftermarket replacements.
