Application and function in the dashboard

The presented centre console cover with ashtray tray is a front-zone component responsible for finishing the central part of the dashboard. The panel integrates the space around the ashtray and storage compartment, organizing the layout of buttons and the working surface within the centre tunnel area. As a result, the BMW 1 E87 interior maintains its consistent, factory character, and both the driver and passenger have convenient access to the storage compartment in the lower part of the console.

The element was designed as part of the interior trim system, which is why its geometry and mounting points are adapted to the original dashboard. This allows for stable installation without the need for modifications, which is particularly important for the precise fitment of adjacent panels.

Glacier Silver colour finish

The cover is finished in a silver shade, known as Glacier Silver, which was used as a factory standard in many BMW 1 Series E87 interior configurations. This colour blends well with both dark and light upholstery, emphasizing the modern, orderly character of the cockpit. The silver finish optically brightens the central part of the dashboard, improving the readability of the control zone.

Choosing the right shade is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for practical ones – uniform colouring limits the "patchwork" effect of the interior with mismatched elements and allows for maintaining a consistent look of factory equipment. This is particularly significant during professional post-accident repairs or interior renovations.

Mounting parameters and fitment

The centre console cover is designed for installation in the front part of the cabin, in the area of the centre tunnel where the ashtray and storage compartment are located. The panel's construction is consistent with the factory BMW design, which facilitates:

• maintaining proper fitment with adjacent dashboard elements,
• installation in existing mounting points without additional adaptations,
• maintaining ergonomic access to the ashtray and storage space.

The product comes from the Dashboards group, making it optimized for integration with other cockpit panels. The used nature of the part makes it a reasonable solution for repairs where compliance with the original and cost control are important.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using OEM BMW parts

The item is marked as used, which in practice means it comes from the dismantling of an original BMW vehicle. Such components retain their factory geometry, surface structure, and compatibility with the mountings provided by the manufacturer. As a result, the risk of fitment issues is significantly lower than in the case of replacements of uncertain origin.
