Application and fitment for BMW F10/F11

The presented armrest has been designed specifically for the BMW 5 Series F10/F11 generation models, which ensures precise fitment to the center console and factory mounting points. Its placement in the front of the cabin, with the option for left or right-side installation, allows for the preservation of the original interior ergonomics and convenient access for both the driver and the passenger.

Thanks to a design compliant with BMW factory standards, this component integrates well with other center console parts, requires no interference with the interior structure, and allows for the maintenance of the cockpit's consistent stylistic line.

Material and Oyster leather finish

The armrest upholstery is made of high-quality leather, which provides a pleasant-to-touch, durable, and easy-to-maintain material. The light Oyster shade is characteristic of premium trim packages in the BMW F10/F11, making this item a great fit for elegant interior configurations.

The leather surface provides:

• comfortable forearm support while driving,
• a consistent look with factory seats and door panels,
• a material structure resistant to daily use.

Role in ergonomics and driving comfort

The front center armrest plays an important role in the ergonomics of the driver and passenger area. Properly selected height and width make it easier to maintain a stable hand position on the steering wheel and gear shifter, which improves comfort during longer trips. Stable arm support reduces fatigue and allows for a more natural positioning of the shoulders and spine.

Its location in the central part of the cabin also facilitates convenient use of the controls on the center console, maintaining the driver-oriented cockpit characteristic of BMW.

Characteristics of the used part

The offered armrest is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for an economical replacement of the interior component while maintaining the original BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, refreshing the cabin, or restoring the car to a factory-like condition without the need to invest in new parts.
