Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E92 / E93

This rear armrest is designed for installation in BMW 3 Series E92 (coupe) and E93 (cabrio) models on the right side of the rear interior. It is an integral part of the door panel/quarter panel and has been engineered for specific mounting points and the geometry of BMW's factory upholstery, facilitating installation and ensuring a secure fit in the original locations.

The grey finish allows for an aesthetically pleasing match with interiors featuring light and neutral color schemes, characteristic of Dakota leather upholstery. This ensures that replacing a worn or damaged part does not disrupt the cabin's stylistic coherence.

Material and Surface Finish

The armrest is crafted from genuine Dakota leather, as used in factory BMWs, providing the appropriate texture, stiffness, and resistance to typical operational wear. The leather's structure and stitching pattern align with the E92/E93 interior design language, ensuring the part visually blends with other upholstery elements.

The grey shade has been selected to harmonize with door panels and other trim pieces, which is important for both single replacements and more extensive rear cabin renovations. This type of finish also enhances user comfort, with a pleasant-to-touch surface that provides stable forearm support.

Function within the Door Upholstery System

The rear armrest plays a significant role in the ergonomics of the rear seat, offering comfortable support for passengers and an aesthetic finish to the side panel. As a component within the Door Upholstery group, it is responsible for:

• enhancing travel comfort through stable arm support,
• covering structural elements of the door or body quarter,
• maintaining a cohesive design line for the BMW 3 Series coupe/cabrio interior.

By retaining its factory shape and profile, the armrest does not negatively affect the operation of door mechanisms or access to seat belts or other rear cabin equipment.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

This part is from original BMW production, ensuring full compliance with factory quality and dimensional standards. As a used part, it is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery, or restoring the interior to a near-factory condition without the expense of new, significantly more costly components.

The armrest can be utilized by professional bodywork, paint, and upholstery shops, as well as by advanced DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their BMW's interior. Installation is performed in place of the original part, using the factory mounting points in the door panel or quarter panel.
