Purpose and fitment

The presented rear armrest has been designed specifically for the coupe and convertible bodies of the BMW 3 Series E92 and E93 generations. The component is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle on the left side, allowing it to integrate perfectly with the seat layout and door panels. The use of original Dakota leather in black ensures a consistent color match with factory BMW interior finishes.

Construction and materials

The armrest belongs to the Door Upholstery category of trim components, meaning it serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The construction is based on a solid frame featuring a softly finished working surface covered in Dakota Black leather. This type of leather is valued in BMW vehicles for its durability, resistance to wear, and ease of cleaning, which is important for the daily use of the rear seats.

Cabin function and user comfort

The rear armrest improves the ergonomics of the rear cabin, providing comfortable support for the arm of the passenger sitting on the left side. Stable mounting within the upholstery structure minimizes unwanted play and squeaking, which translates into a more comfortable ride. At the same time, this element visually organizes the side section of the interior, complementing the upholstery line and giving the cabin a cohesive, orderly character.

Condition and service application

The armrest is a used component, making it a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged upholstery sections, or restoring a vehicle to a near-factory state without the need to invest in new components. It can be used both in professional body and upholstery shops, as well as by advanced enthusiasts involved in BMW interior restoration.

Benefits of using an original armrest

Using an original Dakota Black leather rear armrest allows for the preservation of factory fitment, correct mounting geometry, and visual consistency with other interior components. This is particularly important in premium class vehicles, where precision of finish and uniform color schemes are essential. Choosing such a solution also facilitates the future resale of the vehicle, as the interior presents itself consistently and in accordance with factory specifications.
