Purpose and Fitment

The presented rear armrest is an element intended for installation on the right side of the rear seat in BMW E92 and E93 models. As part of the Door Upholstery category, it provides comfortable arm support for the passenger and an aesthetic finish for the door panel or side panel in the rear of the vehicle. The construction is designed for specific BMW body styles, which translates to proper fitment with factory mounting points and other trim elements.

Material and Finish

The armrest is made from high-quality Dakota leather in black, which helps maintain a uniform interior appearance in cars equipped with this upholstery. Dakota leather is a factory material used by BMW, valued for its durability and ease of cleaning. The black finish complements both light and dark cockpit elements, creating a cohesive, understated, and elegant cabin character.

Function in the Cabin and User Comfort

The rear armrest serves as ergonomic support for the passenger sitting in the rear on the right side, improving comfort during longer journeys. Simultaneously, it conceals structural elements of the door or side panel, providing an aesthetic finish and protecting the upholstery from excessive wear in the area of most frequent hand contact. Using an original element allows for the preservation of the vehicle's factory interior appearance, which is important for both usability and potential resale value.

Characteristics of a Used Item

This armrest is a used part, making it a sensible choice for those seeking original components at a more favorable price than new replacements. A used BMW part retains its correct geometry, factory mounting points, and material compatibility with other interior parts. It's a good solution for replacing a worn, frayed, or damaged armrest when you want to maintain the vehicle's original specifications.

Installation Tips and Application

Installing the rear right armrest in a BMW E92/E93 typically involves removing the door panel or side panel and transferring the element to the existing mounting points. Due to its original manufacturing, the part integrates with factory clips and hardware, simplifying service work and reducing the risk of improper fitment. It is recommended to compare the shape and upholstery type with the currently installed element to ensure full visual and installation compatibility.
