Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented ashtray storage tray is designed for installation in the front interior of the BMW E87, in an area accessible to the driver and passenger. The component serves as a lockable storage compartment with space for an ashtray, organizing the space in the console and allowing for convenient use of additional storage area.

The placement in the Front zone promotes ergonomics – the design is matched to the factory dashboard layout, which facilitates operation while driving and minimizes the risk of collision with other equipment elements.

Construction and fitment for BMW

The ashtray storage tray has been developed as a part compliant with the requirements of the manufacturer BMW, thanks to which it maintains the correct mounting dimensions and the characteristic stylistic line of the 1 Series E87 interior. The grey front surface blends in with the factory panels, reducing color differences and visual deviations after replacing the element.

As a component from the Other group in the interior parts offer, the storage tray can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or damaged console elements. The design is intended for installation in the factory location, without the need for modifications to the dashboard structure.

Condition, origin, and service application

The element comes from original BMW equipment and is offered as a used part, which allows for economical interior repair while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where the existing storage tray has suffered mechanical damage, has broken latches, a damaged lid, or does not close properly.

In service applications, the BMW E87 ashtray storage tray will prove useful for, among other things:

• restoring the completeness of the center console after disassembly or electrical repairs,
• replacing a worn module with an element in better visual condition,
• restoring the functionality of the ashtray and storage tray in the front zone.

Benefits of installation and technical aspects

Using an original ashtray storage tray in the BMW E87 allows you to maintain stylistic consistency and the correct operation of the opening and closing mechanism. Precise fitment to the factory mounting location reduces the risk of rattles, looseness, and unwanted noises while driving. Installation in the Front zone is structurally intended, which facilitates service work and shortens replacement time.

For the user, this means:

• an organized space in the center console,
• convenient access to the storage tray and ashtray,
• preservation of the original character of the BMW E87 interior.
