Purpose and function in the centre console

The presented storage compartment under the armrest belongs to the Console parts category and is dedicated to BMW 5 Series F10/F11 models. The element is mounted in the central part of the tunnel, under the armrest, creating a practical space for small everyday items – keys, documents, or electronic accessories.

The black interior colour scheme of the storage compartment maintains a consistent, subdued look for the cabin, while the properly contoured walls facilitate ergonomic use of the space while driving.

Construction, colour, and fitment

The item is manufactured as a factory BMW component, which ensures the correct geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with the original centre console. As a result, installation is straightforward, with no need for modifications or adjustments to the shape.

The black finish of the storage compartment interior blends well with most upholstery configurations used in the BMW F10/F11, minimizing shade differences and ensuring an aesthetic transition between the armrest and other tunnel elements.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using a used part

The storage compartment is offered as a used part, which allows for a significant reduction in the cost of repair or restoring the factory look of the centre console compared to purchasing a new item. At the same time, the original manufacturer's specification is maintained, ensuring the component works perfectly with factory mounts and adjacent interior elements.

Using an original, used part is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged storage compartment, or completing missing centre tunnel elements – it allows for restoring visual and functional consistency without interfering with the vehicle's structure.

Benefits of installation in the BMW F10/F11

• Restoration or completion of functional storage space under the armrest.
• Factory fitment to the BMW F10/F11 centre console without additional modifications.
• Consistent, black interior colour scheme, matching the original cockpit design.
• Cost savings by using an original used part instead of a new replacement.
