Purpose and compatibility

The presented armrest cover is designed for installation in the centre console of BMW F45, F46, and X1 F48 series vehicles. It is a part from the Console Parts category, responsible for the aesthetic closure of the centre tunnel storage compartment and comfortable support for the driver's and passenger's arms. Thanks to the factory-spec mounting geometry and dimensions, the part allows for a seamless replacement of a worn or damaged element without the need for modifications.

Construction, material, and colour scheme

The armrest cover is made of high-quality leather, ensuring a pleasant-to-touch surface and good resistance to daily use. The blue finish combined with the black base creates a distinctive, dynamic visual accent, consistent with the BMW design language. This colour configuration blends well with both dark and light upholstery, emphasizing the modern character of the interior.

Function in the centre console

The armrest cover performs several important functional roles:

• provides stable and comfortable forearm support while driving,
• covers and closes the storage compartment in the centre tunnel,
• visually organizes the space between the seats,
• limits the ingress of dirt into the storage compartment.

By maintaining the factory profile and shape, the element does not negatively affect the ergonomics of operating the centre console, buttons, or gear lever, and replacing a worn cover helps restore a more well-kept appearance to the interior.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair or interior refresh while maintaining original BMW quality. Choosing an OEM component from the secondary market is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain a consistent leather texture, the correct colour shade, and proper fitment with other console elements. This type of solution is often preferred for accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery elements, or preparing a car for sale.

Integration with other BMW console elements

The armrest cover works in conjunction with other centre tunnel components, such as side panels, cup holders, or decorative trims. Retaining an original part from the same model line minimizes the risk of differences in shade, material texture, and seam lines. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the centre console area in your BMW and need other parts from the same group, such as side panels, decorative trims, or additional covers, check the available parts in the BMW Console Parts category.
