Purpose and function in the center console

The presented item is a complete center armrest lid integrated with a latch mechanism. It is responsible for:

• stable and secure closing of the center console storage compartment,
• comfortable arm support while driving,
• aesthetic finishing of the center tunnel in the original BMW style.

Thanks to its factory design, the armrest works with the stock hinge and opening mechanism, maintaining the original functionality of the interior.

Materials and Dakota Zimtbraun finish

The upper part of the armrest is covered with Dakota leather in the Zimtbraun color, characteristic of selected BMW 5 Series interior configurations. This type of upholstery is distinguished by:

• a uniform, durable surface structure,
• a wear-resistant finish suitable for daily use,
• consistent coloring with factory seats and door panels in the same shade.

Such craftsmanship allows for maintaining the original character of the cabin, without differences in shade or texture compared to other upholstery elements.

Benefits of using an original BMW component

Using a factory armrest with a clasp and Dakota leather offers a number of practical advantages:

• Precise fitment to the BMW F10/F11 center console without the need for modifications.
• Restoration of the original storage compartment functionality thanks to the proper operation of the latch.
• Cohesive interior look – no "aftermarket" or non-original element effect.
• Possibility of an aesthetic replacement of a worn or damaged armrest with an original equivalent.

This solution is particularly recommended for interior restoration when maintaining the factory finishing standard is a priority.

Condition, installation, and service application

The item comes from disassembly and is offered as a used BMW center console armrest. This type of part works perfectly as a replacement in case of:

• mechanical damage to the clasp or the lid hinge,
• abrasion or cracking of the leather on the original armrest,
• a desire to restore a cohesive interior look after repairs or modifications.

Installation takes place in the place of the factory element, using the original mounting points in the center console, which facilitates service work and shortens replacement time.
