Purpose and function in the Mini Cooper R55/R56/R57

The presented handbrake centre console trim with a built-in cup holder has been designed specifically for the R55, R56, and R57 generation BMW Mini Cooper models. The component is mounted in the central part of the tunnel, in the immediate vicinity of the handbrake lever, thereby improving ergonomics and space organization between the seats.

The original design ensures proper handbrake operation and stable seating for the cup holder, which translates into comfort during daily vehicle use.

Chrome finish and integration with the dashboard

The Chrome finish has been selected to match the Mini interior styling, which often features contrasting, metallic accents. The chrome surface harmoniously blends with other elements of the centre tunnel and the Dashboards, creating a cohesive, visually organized cockpit.

The element is designed as part of the centre console system, which facilitates its fitment to factory mounting points and reduces the risk of incorrect installation. As a result, the proper geometry of the tunnel and the correct operation of the handbrake are maintained after installation.

Characteristics of the original Mini part

As an original Mini component, the centre console with cup holder has been manufactured in accordance with the manufacturer's factory standards. This means maintaining appropriate rigidity, shape fitment, and compatibility with adjacent interior elements.

The product comes from the used OEM parts segment, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or worn element while maintaining factory specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for accident repairs, interior restoration, or returning the car to its original configuration.

• maintain a consistent look for the Mini Cooper R55/R56/R57 interior without the need for replacements with a different texture or shade,
• preserve factory mounting points and the geometry of the centre tunnel,
• reduce repair costs compared to new parts while maintaining original specifications,
