Application and Fitment for BMW 1 Series E81/E82/E88

The element is specifically designed as a center tunnel cover with an ashtray near the gear shifter for BMW 1 Series E81, E82, and E88 models. Thanks to its factory mounting geometry and proper profile, the panel perfectly integrates into the center console line without the need for modifications or forced adjustments.

Original BMW origin guarantees compatibility with factory mounting points, which translates to a stable fit, absence of unwanted play, and proper adhesion to adjacent dashboard elements.

Glacier Silver Finish and Interior Character

The panel is finished in a silver shade, referred to as Glacier Silver, which gives the interior a modern, organized look. This type of color scheme pairs well with both dark and lighter upholstery, highlighting the center tunnel line and visually brightening the cockpit.

A uniform surface and appropriately selected texture create a cohesive set with other dashboard trims, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged element or restoring the interior to a factory-like condition.

Functional Characteristics and Installation

As an element integrated with the ashtray and gear shifter area, this center tunnel cover serves both an aesthetic and practical function. Appropriately profiled edges facilitate daily use, and the thoughtful shape allows for convenient access to the space around the gear shifter.

The product comes from the group of used BMW interior parts, meaning it is a component dismantled from a vehicle, retaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Such components are particularly valued for accident repairs, replacement of worn panels, and interior reconstruction according to factory configuration.
