Purpose and compatibility

The presented armrest is a centre console component dedicated to BMW 5 Series E60/E61 LCI models. The split slide design features a divided, sliding cover that allows for convenient adjustment of the position behind the wheel and easy access to the console storage compartment. As a part from the Dashboards category, it works with factory mounts and centre tunnel trim elements.

Construction and functional properties

The armrest comes in a black finish, allowing for aesthetic integration into the standard BMW interior. The leather surface provides a pleasant-to-touch, durable material that withstands intensive use well. The sliding and split cover mechanism allows for:

• adjustment of the forearm support position,
• convenient access to the storage space,
• maintaining the ergonomics of operating the centre console elements.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the element maintains proper rigidity and stability, which translates into comfort during both long-distance and city driving.

Condition and installation characteristics

The item is offered as a used OEM armrest, meaning it has been removed from an original BMW vehicle. This type of part allows for maintaining a consistent interior look without the need for replacements with different textures or shades. Installation is performed in place of the factory armrest, using the standard mounting points in the centre console, which facilitates the work for a workshop or a person servicing the car independently.

Benefits of using an original armrest

Using an original leather centre console armrest in a BMW 5 Series E60/E61 LCI allows you to maintain a uniform interior finish standard and the ergonomics intended by the manufacturer. The split, sliding design improves comfort on longer journeys, and the black finish makes it easy to match most cabin colour configurations. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a worn or damaged element, especially when you want to preserve the factory character of the vehicle.
