Purpose and BMW Fitment

This center console cover under the armrest has been specifically designed for the interior of the BMW 3 Series E60/E61 generation after the facelift (LCI), ensuring it retains the factory styling lines and ergonomics. Its original BMW origin promotes a precise fit with other center tunnel components, eliminating the need for modifications or adjustments.

The part belongs to the interior group designated as Dashboard, meaning it integrates with the central part of the cockpit, creating a unified and organized space for the driver and passenger.

Color and Finish

The Black color is one of the most commonly used shades in BMW cabins, so the cover harmoniously blends with factory plastics, upholstery, and decorative elements. The uniform color facilitates maintaining a consistent interior appearance and also minimizes the visibility of minor dirt from daily use.

The surface finish has been designed for intensive use – the cover operates in a frequently touched area, when opening and closing the armrest and using the storage compartment in the center tunnel.

Condition, Functionality, and Service Application

The item is in Used condition, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle but is still suitable for further use as a replacement part. This is a practical solution for situations where the original cover in the car is cracked, worn, has damaged mountings, or was removed during other interior repairs.

The armrest center console cover is particularly suitable for:

• post-accident repairs, where the center tunnel or its components have been damaged,
• interior restoration, when the owner wants to restore a cohesive cabin appearance,
• specialized BMW workshops that require original interior parts for quick repairs.

Benefits of Using an Original Cover

Using an original center tunnel cover for the BMW E60/E61 LCI offers several significant advantages:

• Factory Fitment – maintains correct geometry and mounting points, facilitating installation.
• Consistent Interior Aesthetics – the Black color and original texture create a unified whole with the dashboard and armrest.
• Cost-Effective Repair – a used OEM part offers a balance between quality and budget.

For workshops and individual users, this means faster repair completion and no issues with fitting aftermarket parts of uncertain quality.
