Purpose and compatibility for BMW F10 / F11

The presented item is a factory BMW 5 Series F10 / F11 cup holder, integrated into the front section of the centre console. The construction was developed specifically for the interior geometry of these models, ensuring that factory lines, gaps, and ergonomics are maintained after installation. Its placement in the front zone of the cockpit provides easy access to drinks without taking your eyes off the road for longer than necessary.

Design and functionality of the cup holder

The holder functions as a retractable tray with space for drinks, creating a practical area in the central part of the dashboard. This solution allows for:

• stable placement of cups or bottles while driving,
• maintaining order in the front part of the interior,
• quick retraction of the holder when not in use, which improves the cockpit's aesthetics.

The sliding mechanism is integrated with the console module, which facilitates one-handed operation and reduces the risk of accidental deployment while driving.

High Gloss Black finish and interior integration

The front of the holder is finished in High Gloss Black, characteristic of many BMW F10 / F11 interior configurations. As a result, the element harmoniously blends with the other centre console panels, creating a cohesive, modern look. The lacquered surface complements both light and dark upholstery, emphasizing the premium character of the cabin.

Condition, origin, and installation aspects

The item comes from the BMW line and is a used part, which means it retains the original geometry, mounts, and manufacturing standards intended by the manufacturer. Thanks to the factory design, installation takes place in the location provided by the vehicle manufacturer, using the standard mounting points in the front part of the console. This solution facilitates service work and allows for maintaining the factory look of the interior without the need for modifications.

Benefits of using an original cup holder

Using an original BMW F10 / F11 centre console cup holder allows you to restore full functionality to the front interior zone after damage or wear of the previous component. You receive:

• factory fitment to the console shape,
• consistent High Gloss Black finish,
• convenient access to drinks for the driver and passenger,
• aesthetic closure of the space when the tray is retracted.
