Purpose and fitment for the BMW F3x series

The presented item is designed as a factory centre console armrest for BMW F30, F31, and F32 series models. Its placement in the front of the vehicle provides convenient access for both the driver and passenger, and the construction, compliant with the manufacturer's standards, allows for the preservation of the original cockpit geometry and lines. As a result, the armrest integrates harmoniously with other centre tunnel components without the need for any structural modifications to the interior.

Materials and finish

The armrest cover is finished with Dakota leather upholstery in Korall Rot. This type of leather is valued in BMW vehicles for its appropriate durability while maintaining a pleasant-to-the-touch texture. The Korall Rot colour provides a distinctive stylistic accent, often found in configurations with a more dynamic, sporty interior character.

The leather surface facilitates easier cleaning compared to textile materials, and the carefully selected structure reduces forearm sliding while driving. This is a particularly beneficial solution for longer trips, where stable arm support translates into more comfortable vehicle operation.

Ergonomic function and user comfort

The centre console armrest plays a key role in the ergonomics of the driver's area. Its proper positioning in the front of the cabin allows for a natural placement of the hand on the gear shifter or control panel, reducing fatigue during long drives. The leather surface provides stable, predictable support, which enhances the subjective perception of interior quality.

Replacing a worn or damaged armrest cover with an original part in Korall Rot allows for the restoration of the cockpit's visual consistency, which is important both from the perspective of daily use and the potential resale of the vehicle. Uniform colour and factory finish are often considered a hallmark of vehicle maintenance.

Application in the Centre and roof consoles category

As an item from the Centre and roof consoles group, this armrest is responsible for the functional and visual completion of the centre tunnel. Replacing it with an original component is particularly recommended when upgrading the interior with Dakota leather upholstery or when refurbishing a vehicle after intensive use. Thanks to the preservation of the factory design, it is possible to maintain the original layout of storage compartments and control elements within the console.

• interior refurbishment after intensive use,
