Application and function in the centre console

The ashtray cover is part of the centre console storage assembly, responsible for aesthetically closing the space for small items or the ashtray. Proper fitment of the shape and mounts ensures stable operation of the opening and closing mechanism, which translates into comfort of use during daily vehicle operation.

The component has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E82/E88 interior, ensuring it maintains factory styling lines, fitment with adjacent panels, and compatibility with the console's original guides and hinges.

Surface finish and colour scheme

The top layer is finished with a decorative Fineline Wood Anthracite veneer, which gives the interior a subdued, technical character. The structure and shade of the wood have been selected to match other decorative trim strips in the cabin, creating a consistent set of interior decor.

The Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416 colour provides a deep, dark tone with a metallic effect, which blends well with both light and dark upholstery. This type of finish is particularly valued in projects where maintaining the original BMW aesthetic is desired while reducing light reflections on the console surface.

Characteristics of the original BMW part

As an element from the Interior trim, decorative strips and decor group, the cover has been manufactured in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's standards, which translates into dimensional repeatability and compatibility with factory mounting points. The original surface finish makes it easy to keep clean and reduces the visibility of minor signs of wear.

The product is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair or refreshment of the interior while maintaining the original character of the cabin. This is a practical solution for replacing a damaged, scratched, or worn cover in an existing centre console.

Benefits of installation and practical aspects

Using the original ashtray cover in Fineline Wood Anthracite finish allows you to:

• restore the cohesive look of the centre console after damage or component replacement,
• maintain a uniform colour and structure of the decor in the BMW interior,
• preserve factory panel fitment without the need for modifications,
• minimize visual differences between new and existing trim elements.

Thanks to its fitment for the specific 1 Series generation, installation is based on factory mounting points, which facilitates work both in professional service centres and in specialized workshops dealing with BMW interior restoration.

Technical support and part selection

When selecting interior trim elements for a BMW, it is crucial to match the colour version and type of decor to the specific vehicle configuration. In case of doubt, it is worth verifying the paint and interior trim codes in the car's documentation or via the vehicle identification number.
