Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented item is a rear centre console armrest dedicated to BMW 1 Series and 3 Series E87 generation models. It is mounted in the rear part of the tunnel, where it serves as a comfortable support for passengers and covers structural elements and mounts, improving the ergonomics of the rear seat area.

The armrest has been designed as an original equipment part, ensuring proper fitment to factory mounting points and interior geometry. It is a practical solution both for replacing a damaged component and for restoring the interior to a factory-like condition after repairs or modifications.

Construction, colour scheme and interior integration

The element is finished in black, which facilitates integration with typical BMW E87 interior configurations. The neutral colour scheme works well with most fabric and leather upholstery, as well as with factory centre console panels.

The set also includes a rear trim cover, which visually completes the entire armrest section. This design allows for the aesthetic concealment of mounts and any potential wiring passages, which is important for both the appearance and daily comfort of use.

Condition, origin and advantages of using a used part

The armrest comes from the original BMW production line, which ensures the maintenance of factory standards for fit and material quality. As a used part, it represents a cost-effective solution for interior repairs and renovations, allowing you to reduce expenses without compromising on the original manufacturer's specifications.

Using an original used component is particularly beneficial when you want to:

• maintain the factory look and ergonomics of the interior,
• ensure a secure fit to the existing centre console,
• optimise the costs of cabin repairs or upgrades.

Installation and service application

The armrest is designed for installation in place of the factory component, which facilitates work for a workshop or a person servicing the vehicle. The construction provided by the manufacturer allows for the use of original mounting points, without the need for modifications to the centre tunnel or the rear part of the console.

It is a practical choice for:

• replacing a damaged or worn-out armrest,
• completing missing interior elements after bodywork repairs,
• restoring the vehicle to a consistent, factory equipment configuration.
