Purpose and function in the BMW cockpit

The presented armrest is a component of the center console assembly, responsible for providing comfortable forearm support for the driver and passenger, as well as an aesthetic finish for the center tunnel. Thanks to its design, which complies with BMW factory standards, the proper cockpit geometry, operational ergonomics, and visual consistency with other dashboard elements are maintained.

The black color scheme allows for harmonious integration with most interior configurations used in the F45, F46, and F48 models, making it easy to replace a damaged or worn element without the need to interfere with other components.

Construction and fitment for BMW models

The armrest has been specifically designed for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer / Gran Tourer platform and the BMW X1 F48 generation, which translates into a precise fit with the center console and dashboard. The original construction ensures:

• retention of factory mounting points in the center tunnel,
• proper adhesion to adjacent trim elements,
• compatibility with the interior layout intended for the given BMW generation.

As a result, installation is straightforward, without the need for modifications or adjustments required by aftermarket replacements, and the entire assembly retains its factory character after installation.

Color and interior aesthetics

The black color of the armrest is universal and technically matched to a wide range of upholstery and panel configurations in the BMW F45, F46, and X1 F48 models. This specification allows for:

• visually consistent restoration of the original cockpit appearance,
• easier combination with various dashboard and door panel variants,
• maintenance of a subdued, functional interior character.

For users who prioritize maintaining the factory design, the original black center console armrest is a practical solution for repairs or upgrading the driver's area.
