Purpose and function of the component

The presented item is a rear ashtray with a frame mounted in the centre console, in the rear seat area. It is responsible for the convenient and organized management of space for small waste for rear passengers, while also serving as an integral part of the centre tunnel trim. Using a dedicated component for specific BMW E92/E93 body versions ensures stylistic consistency and correct installation geometry.

Construction and finish

The ashtray trim is designed as a complete insert with a lid and a decorative frame in Titan colour, matched to the factory BMW interior finish. The construction features precise guides and latches that ensure stable seating in the console as well as smooth opening and closing of the lid. As a result, the element integrates well with other centre tunnel components, without any play or unwanted noises while driving.

Benefits of using an original BMW part

Using an original BMW component from the Console Parts group ensures:

• factory fit to the shape of the rear centre console,
• consistent shade and surface structure in the Titan finish,
• proper operation of the ashtray opening mechanism,
• stable mounting without the need for tunnel modifications.

This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs after mechanical damage, replacing worn interior elements, or restoring the car to a factory-like condition.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The element is intended for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the area accessible to rear seat passengers. This placement facilitates ease of use and maintains interior ergonomics in line with the BMW design. Installation is based on factory mounting points, which, with proper removal of the old element, allows for efficient replacement without interfering with the tunnel structure.

Condition and use in service and restoration

The offered component is a used part, which is a sensible choice for vehicle interior service, especially for cars several years old. This allows for optimizing repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Such elements are often used in professional workshops specializing in BMW interior restoration, where both compliance with the factory design and the durability of the solutions used are important.
