Purpose and fitment

The presented armrest is a rear seat backrest component, specifically designed for BMW F10 and F11 series models. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle provides comfortable support for passengers and access to a practical storage compartment without interfering with the seat structure. Thanks to the factory mounting geometry, proper alignment with the backrest and interior side panels is maintained.

Materials and finish

The armrest is crafted from leather upholstery in a grey shade, allowing for aesthetic integration into typical BMW F10/F11 interior color configurations. The leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, easy-to-clean material, and the carefully selected surface texture reduces clothing slippage during travel. The grey color helps maintain a neutral, understated cabin character, harmonizing well with both light and dark interior elements.

Storage functionality and user comfort

The integral storage compartment in the armrest increases the practicality of the rear seat, allowing for the storage of small items within easy reach of passengers. This solution improves ergonomics, reduces the need to reach for front storage compartments, and helps keep the cabin tidy. The armrest construction has been developed to ensure it does not restrict the backrest's functionality while providing stable forearm support during longer journeys.

Characteristics of the used part

This item comes from the secondary market, allowing for an economical replacement of a worn or damaged armrest while maintaining original BMW specifications. A used component is a great solution for drivers who want to restore the factory look of the interior without the need to invest in a new backrest set. Choosing an original pre-owned armrest also contributes to reducing the consumption of new raw materials.

Integration with other BMW interior elements

The rear seat armrest is part of the seating system, which is why its proper fitment is important for both comfort and visual consistency of the cabin. The grey leather upholstery facilitates integration with factory seats and benches, and maintaining the original form of the element minimizes the risk of improper installation. This is particularly important during interior restoration, where the consistency of stitching lines and backrest shape is crucial.
