Purpose and compatibility with BMW 3 Series E90/E91

The presented BMW 3 Series E90 E91 Rear Ash Tray Ashtray Centre Console Black has been designed specifically for the 3 Series E90 and E91 generations. Its placement in the rear part of the center tunnel guarantees ergonomic access for rear-seat passengers without interfering with the factory layout of the dashboard and other interior elements.

The item comes from the Dashboards line, meaning it is an integral part of the cockpit and center tunnel assembly system, and its geometry and mounting method comply with BMW factory standards. As a result, the original styling lines and proper fitment with adjacent panels are maintained after installation.

Construction, color, and interior integration

The ashtray is finished in black, which facilitates visual matching with most interior configurations used in the 3 Series E90/E91. The neutral, dark color blends well with both fabric and leather upholstery, as well as various trim variants.

The design intended for installation in the rear part of the center console ensures:

• stable seating in the factory slot,
• smooth operation of the flap and opening mechanism,
• aesthetic closure of the space in the tunnel when the ashtray is not in use.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, the element does not require modifications or adjustments – after proper installation, it forms a cohesive whole with the remaining console panels.

Functional characteristics and application

The BMW 3 Series E90 E91 Rear Ash Tray Ashtray Centre Console Black serves as a practical storage compartment for ash or small waste for rear-seat passengers, while organizing the space in the cabin. This is a particularly useful solution in cars used on longer trips or in everyday family use.

As an original BMW part from the Dashboards category, the component is designed to:

• not cause additional noise or looseness while driving,
• maintain visual consistency with the factory cockpit design,
• allow for easy removal for service or cleaning purposes.

Condition, origin, and assembly aspects

The item is offered as a used BMW component, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or missing ashtray while maintaining original build quality. The used nature of the part also helps reduce the environmental footprint through the reuse of functional elements.

The ashtray is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, within the center tunnel area. Installation involves seating it in the factory slot and properly fastening the clips, without the need to interfere with the dashboard electrical wiring or other vehicle systems. By following basic installation principles, a durable and aesthetic connection with the remaining interior panels is achieved.
