Purpose and fitment

The presented rear centre armrest has been designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F12 (convertible, including LCI version) and F13 (coupé) models as a part of the rear console between the seats. Thanks to its design compliant with BMW factory standards, it ensures a proper fit to the mounting points in the rear interior without the need for modifying the upholstery or seat structure.

As a part from the Other seat parts group, this armrest is responsible for the comfortable use of the rear passenger area, improving travel ergonomics and the visual consistency of the cabin.

Material and finish

The element is made of Dakota Schwarz leather upholstery, characteristic of BMW 6 Series interiors. This type of leather is distinguished by its uniform texture, pleasant-to-the-touch surface, and a subdued, elegant color that blends well with factory side panels and seats.

The armrest finish has been designed to:

• maintain color consistency with the original interior upholstery,
• provide comfortable forearm support for rear passengers,
• uphold the characteristic premium look of the BMW cabin.

Function in the rear interior

The rear centre armrest plays an important practical role in daily vehicle use. Mounted in the rear of the cabin between the seats, it stabilizes the passengers' position and improves comfort during longer trips. As an original BMW part, it is designed with a focus on proper fitment with the rear console and other seat components.

Replacing a worn or damaged armrest with an original Dakota Schwarz leather component allows you to restore a cohesive look to the rear interior, which is significant both aesthetically and functionally – especially in high-end cars such as the BMW 6 Series F12/F13.

Characteristics as a used part

The armrest comes from disassembly and is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the original character of the interior. Choosing an original component from the secondary market allows you to maintain factory materials and styling lines while reducing expenses compared to purchasing a new component.

Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard check of the mechanical condition of the mounts and the upholstery surface to adapt the installation method to the specific vehicle and the expected visual effect.
