Purpose and compatibility with BMW models

The presented armrest cover has been designed for BMW X1 and BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer vehicles on F45, F46, and F48 chassis. It is a center console component responsible for providing comfortable forearm support for the driver and passenger, as well as aesthetically closing the storage compartment in the center tunnel.

Thanks to the factory mounting geometry and dimensions, the cover works with the original console construction, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining a consistent interior look in accordance with BMW standards.

Construction, color, and ergonomics

The center console armrest cover is finished in Black, allowing for a harmonious blend with most factory interior configurations of the BMW X1 and 2 Series. The dark tone helps maintain the visual cleanliness of the cabin, effectively masks typical signs of wear, and complements the dashboard and door panels.

The component's design has been developed to provide comfortable forearm support while driving, while simultaneously allowing easy access to the center console storage. The properly contoured surface supports comfort on longer trips and improves the ergonomics of operating controls in the center tunnel.

Characteristics of the used component

This is a used part, meaning it has been removed from a vehicle and may show typical signs of wear while remaining a functional element for further use. For many BMW users, this is a reasonable compromise between the quality of an original component and the purchase cost compared to new replacements.

Choosing an original, used armrest cover allows you to maintain factory fitment with the dashboard and other console elements, which is particularly important when repairing mechanical damage or refreshing the interior after intensive use.

Practical application and benefits of installation

Installing this armrest cover is recommended in situations where the existing element has suffered mechanical damage, cracking, excessive surface wear, or was removed during other service work. Using an original component from the Dashboards group helps restore the original appearance and functionality of the center console.

The main benefits of using this cover include:

• maintaining a consistent interior style in line with the BMW design,
• restoring comfortable forearm support in the center console area,
• aesthetically closing the storage compartment in the center tunnel,
• reducing repair costs by using an original used component.
