Intended Use and Function of the Part

The presented center console housing is designed for installation in the front interior of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation. It covers the area around the gear shifter and ashtray, visually and functionally organizing the central tunnel. This part is responsible for:

• aesthetically framing the gear shifter and ashtray,

• securely mounting accessories in the central cockpit area.

Thanks to the original BMW design, correct mounting points and geometry are maintained, perfectly matching the factory tunnel and dashboard.

Construction and Fit for BMW 3 Series E90/E91

The Titan center console housing has been specifically developed for the BMW 3 Series E90/E91, ensuring a precise fit with other interior elements. The construction includes:

• dedicated profiling for the 3 Series center tunnel,
• integrated gear shifter surround,
• space for the ashtray module in the center of the console.

This solution allows for the preservation of the original cockpit styling line and minimizes the risk of gaps, squeaks, and imprecise fitting, which are common with low-quality aftermarket parts.

Titan Finish Characteristics

The Titan finish used in this center console housing imparts a subtle, technical character to the BMW interior. The surface is designed to blend well with other dashboard elements, creating a visually cohesive central panel. The applied color and texture:

• emphasize the line of the center tunnel,
• minimize the visibility of minor signs of wear,
• contribute to maintaining an organized and tidy interior.

For users modernizing their cockpit, this means the possibility of achieving a more contemporary look without altering the dashboard structure.
