Purpose and function in the dashboard

The presented storage compartment with ashtray is a component from the Dashboards group, designed for installation in the front part of the centre console. Its placement in the driver and front passenger zone ensures:

• convenient access to space for small items,
• an organized centre tunnel without protruding elements,
• a visually consistent connection with the control panel and other cockpit modules.

Thanks to its OEM construction, the module maintains factory geometry, which facilitates installation in original mounting points and allows for precise fitment with adjacent console elements.

Construction and ergonomics

The storage compartment integrated with the ashtray has been designed for daily use in both city and long-distance driving. The design features:

• a lockable front cover, which creates a uniform console surface when closed,
• ergonomic access from the driver and passenger positions,
• internal space layout allowing for the storage of small accessories.

This solution improves cockpit usability, limits the visibility of small items, and helps keep the interior in an orderly state.

Benefits of using an original BMW component

Using the original storage compartment with ashtray module in the BMW 3 Series centre console provides a number of practical benefits:

• factory fitment to the dashboard – no need for mounting modifications or trimming of elements,
• consistent colour and surface texture with other interior components,
• preservation of the original cockpit character, which is important both for usability and potential vehicle resale.

This component allows you to restore the full functionality of the front centre console after damage, wear, or missing equipment.

Condition and service application

The offered module is a used part, which makes it an attractive service solution for vehicle owners who want to optimize repair costs while maintaining an OEM component. It is suitable both for replacing a damaged ashtray and for completing missing interior elements after previous modifications.

If you are planning wider work inside the cockpit, such as refreshing the centre tunnel or replacing several modules, using the original storage compartment with ashtray allows you to maintain a uniform standard of workmanship for the entire front zone.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cockpit zone in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as console panels, air vents, or gauge covers, check the available parts in the BMW Dashboards category.
