Purpose and function in the BMW E92/E93

The described item is a rear ashtray with a tray mounted in the centre console for the BMW 3 Series E92/E93 coupe and convertible models. It is responsible for convenient space management for rear-seat passengers, providing practical access to a lockable storage compartment within the centre tunnel area. Thanks to the factory design, full compatibility with original mounting points and the interior's stylistic lines is maintained.

Aluminium Glacier Silver finish and colour scheme

The panel is finished in the Glacier Silver shade, which gives the interior a modern, understated character. The silver surface complements dark upholstery and other aluminium trims well, creating a cohesive, technical look typical of BMW. The colour has been selected to match factory trim strips and console elements without the need for additional modifications.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The component is intended for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the area between the front seats and the rear bench. The design, based on the original BMW blueprint, allows for:

• maintaining the factory geometry of the centre tunnel,
• secure seating in the designated mounting points,
• easy removal and reinstallation during interior service work.

As a result, the ashtray with the tray can be used both for replacing a damaged part and for restoring the interior to a factory-like condition after modifications.

Characteristics of the used product

As a used part, this item comes from dismantling and retains the original manufacturer's specifications. This solution allows for an economical interior repair while maintaining compliance with the factory BMW standard. Choosing an original component from the secondary market reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of aftermarket replacements with imprecise dimensions.

Application in service and interior restoration

The rear centre console ashtray is particularly suitable for projects involving:

• interior restoration following mechanical or wear-related damage,
• restoring full equipment after previous removals,
• maintaining consistent aesthetics in vehicles with silver-coloured trim.

By using an original component, you preserve the factory character of the cabin, which is important for both user comfort and the potential resale value of the vehicle.
