Purpose and fitment for BMW F12/F13

The cover has been designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F12/F13 models, taking into account the geometry of the front left part of the centre console. This ensures factory-standard fitment with adjacent dashboard elements, without the need for modifications or forced adjustments. Placement in the front driver-side zone means the component has a direct impact on the visual perception of the cockpit and daily comfort.

Design characteristics and colour

The trim serves as a centre console cover, masking mounts and structural edges while stabilizing adjacent components. The black finish is visually neutral and works well with typical BMW interior configurations, both in classic and sport versions. The Black colour reduces the visibility of minor dirt and light reflections, which improves visual ergonomics during day and night driving.

Function within the dashboard

As an element in the Dashboards category, the centre console cover is responsible for the aesthetic finishing of a critical cockpit area, where control elements and operating modules are often located. A correctly installed trim:

• visually organizes the space around the centre console,
• reduces the risk of accidentally catching on structural edges,
• supports the stability of adjacent panels and trim elements,
• helps maintain a consistent, factory look of the BMW interior.

Condition, application, and benefits of installation

The item is in used condition, making it a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged panels, or restoring the interior to its original configuration without the cost of new components. Installing this trim allows you to:

• restore the aesthetics of the front left part of the centre console,
• maintain stylistic consistency with other BMW dashboard elements,
• preserve the characteristic factory nature of the 6 Series F12/F13 cockpit.

Thanks to the use of an original BMW solution, the cover works well with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of unwanted play or rattles while driving.
