Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E60 / E61 LCI

The presented ashtray has been designed for the front interior of the facelifted BMW 5 Series E60 and E61 models. Its construction, compliant with factory BMW standards, ensures proper fitment with the center console and other cockpit elements, without the need for modifications or adaptations. This allows for an organized installation process, maintaining the original character of the interior.

Color Scheme and Dashboard Integration

The grey color of the ashtray is chosen for visual consistency with factory BMW finishes. This allows for an aesthetically pleasing integration of the part into the Dashboards used in this generation, without the effect of an "alien" addition. The uniform color contributes to maintaining an organized cabin appearance, which is particularly important when replacing worn or damaged parts.

Functionality in the Front Cabin Area

Its placement in the front of the vehicle provides convenient access for both the driver and the passenger. The ashtray serves as a closable storage compartment for small smoking-related waste, helping to maintain cleanliness within the center console area. The use of original construction promotes quiet operation of the opening and closing mechanism and a stable fit within the panel.

Characteristics of a Used Part

This part comes from the secondary market, allowing for an economical replacement while maintaining original BMW specifications. A used ashtray is a good solution when the existing part is mechanically damaged, cracked, or shows signs of intensive use. Choosing a part from this category allows you to restore the full functionality of the interior without the need to invest in a new component.

Technical Support and OEM Part Selection

The ashtray has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific configuration of the facelifted BMW E60 or E61. This allows for precise selection of the part for a given vehicle, minimizing the risk of mismatch. If you have any doubts, it is advisable to compare the markings with the component currently installed in your vehicle.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the cockpit area in your BMW and need other parts from the same category, such as air vents, control panels, or console covers, check the available parts in the BMW Dashboards category.
