Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented item is a rear ashtray / tray for the centre console, mounted in the rear section of the centre tunnel in the BMW 3 Series E92 and E93. It serves as a practical storage compartment or ashtray for rear-seat passengers, while organizing the space and improving the ergonomics of the rear interior area.

Its placement in the rear part of the console ensures it is easily accessible for passengers, and its design is matched to the factory shape of the tunnel, which facilitates installation and ensures a stable fit.

Appearance and colour matching

The silver (Satinsilber) finish was designed to be consistent with original BMW trims. The neutral, subdued colour blends well with both dark and light upholstery, ensuring the component does not disrupt the factory interior styling.

The satin surface reduces the visibility of minor scratches and fingerprints, which translates into a more aesthetic appearance of the rear console during daily use. This is a practical solution for users who want to maintain an orderly and well-kept cabin character.

Technical characteristics and installation

The component was designed as part of original BMW equipment, meaning its geometry, mounting points, and lid operation range are adapted to the factory centre console in E92 and E93 versions. As a result, installation is similar to replacing a standard component, without the need for modifications or adjustments.

As a used part, the product maintains a construction consistent with BMW factory standards, which is essential for maintaining proper fitment with other centre tunnel elements and the correct operation of the opening and closing mechanism.

Condition, application, and benefits of replacement

The rear ashtray in the centre console is particularly prone to wear, scratches, or discolouration. Replacing it with a well-maintained used part allows you to easily refresh the visual appearance of the rear interior without having to interfere with the entire console. This solution is recommended for local repairs, cabin restoration, or returning the car to a more original state after modifications.

For users who care about the stylistic consistency of their BMW 3 Series E92/E93 interior, using an original silver component is beneficial both aesthetically and functionally – compatibility with factory mounts and the intended usage by rear passengers is preserved.
