Its placement in the rear of the cabin provides passengers with access to the sockets while protecting them from accidental damage and dirt.

Thanks to its genuine design tailored to the specific BMW generation, the part maintains correct geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with the original center console, facilitating installation and minimizing the need for modifications.

Color Finish and Interior Integration

The Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color is a distinctive shade used in the luxurious interiors of the BMW 7 Series E65/E66. The metallic, dark silver tone allows for harmonious integration with other elements of the center tunnel, dashboard panels, and trim pieces in a similar color palette.

This finish promotes a cohesive cabin aesthetic, especially in vehicles where maintaining the original interior character is a priority. Replacing a damaged or missing cover with a genuine part in the same color helps avoid shade discrepancies and unwanted contrasts.

• simplifies installation due to its fit with original mounting points.

This used part allows for an economical repair of the rear console area while maintaining compliance with the vehicle's original specifications.

Application in Repair and Interior Refurbishment

The rear center console cigarette lighter socket cover is suitable for both localized repair of a damaged panel and broader refurbishment of the BMW 7 Series E65/E66 interior. This is particularly important in vehicles where preserving original equipment and visual consistency between the dashboard and the rear cabin is a priority.
