Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 / X6 E70 E71

The component has been designed for BMW X5 and BMW X6 models of the E70/E71 generation, where it is responsible for trimming the rear part of the centre console on the left side. Thanks to the factory geometry, the correct parting lines are maintained, and installation is straightforward, without the need for structural modifications.

Its placement in the rear cabin area means the panel contributes to the visual consistency of the interior and protects the console structure from mechanical damage resulting from daily use.

Structural characteristics and colour scheme

The panel is designed for installation in the rear – left side area, which facilitates the identification of the correct installation location during service work. The shape and mounting points are consistent with the original BMW design, which promotes stable seating of the component and reduces the risk of looseness or rattling while driving.

The black finish allows for a uniform, subdued interior style, typical of BMW X5 and X6 models. This colour scheme effectively masks minor signs of wear while facilitating integration with other cockpit and centre tunnel components.

Function within the Dashboard structure

As an element from the Dashboards group, the panel serves a protective and finishing role in the rear part of the centre console. It closes the supporting structure, secures internal routing, and improves the ergonomics of the rear cabin area. Replacing a worn or damaged panel allows for the restoration of the factory look and order of the interior, which is significant for both aesthetic and practical reasons.

Using original parts from this group promotes the maintenance of material consistency and proper fitment with adjacent components, which is essential when servicing a premium vehicle interior.

Benefits of using the original rear console panel

Using the original rear console panel in the BMW X5/X6 E70/E71 provides a number of practical benefits:

• maintenance of factory geometry and parting lines in the rear part of the centre console,
• consistent colour matching with other interior elements,
• stable mounting thanks to compatibility with original mounting points,
• visual tidiness of the rear cabin area,
• possibility to restore interior aesthetics after mechanical damage.
