Purpose and function of the component

The described rear centre console cigarette lighter trim is dedicated to BMW 5 Series E60/E61 models. It is mounted in the rear part of the centre tunnel, where it integrates the cigarette lighter socket with the other console elements. It is responsible for providing an aesthetic frame for the power connector and securely holding the electrical equipment in the correct position.

This component is particularly useful for repairs following mechanical damage (cracks, broken clips) or during interior restoration when the existing trim is noticeably worn. Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry, it ensures proper fitment with the remaining console panels.

Colour scheme and interior matching

The trim is finished in Cremebeige, characteristic of light interior configurations of the BMW 5 Series. This colour allows for a harmonious blend with seat upholstery, door panels, and other centre tunnel components, without the visible tonal differences typical of low-quality aftermarket replacements.

The uniform colour and appropriate surface texture facilitate the visual integration of the component into the existing interior. It is a good solution both for local replacement of a damaged trim and for broader cabin restoration, where colour consistency and maintaining the character of the original BMW design are paramount.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The component is designed for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the area accessible to rear-seat passengers. The construction, based on the original BMW design, allows for the use of factory mounting points and the existing tunnel structure. Consequently, installation is limited to removing the old trim and fitting the new one, without the need for structural modifications.

This solution is beneficial for both workshops and users servicing the interior themselves – it reduces labour time and minimises the risk of poor fitment. Maintaining the correct position of the cigarette lighter socket also contributes to the convenience of using accessory power for rear-seat passengers.

Characteristics as a used OEM component

The trim comes from the group of original BMW components and is offered as a used part. This means it retains factory geometry, compatibility with the centre console, and compliance with the mounting system provided by the manufacturer. In practice, this translates into stable seating, no need for adjustments, and predictable performance in daily use.

A used OEM component is a sensible choice for interior repairs – it allows you to maintain the original character of the cabin while reducing costs compared to new parts. This solution is particularly valued for comprehensive restoration work in vehicles that are several or more years old.
