Purpose and function in the BMW 7 Series E65/E66

This component is designed for installation in the front part of the centre console in BMW 7 Series E65/E66 generation models. It combines the function of a practical ashtray with an elegant decorative trim, serving as an integral part of the control panel in the driver and passenger area.

Thanks to the factory body geometry and the correct profile of the wood veneer, the part allows for maintaining the original cockpit lines without the need for modifications or adjustments to the mounts.

Cherry Light wood finish

The Cherry Light finish version is a light, elegant wood veneer characteristic of luxury interior configurations of the BMW 7 Series. The applied decorative coating:

• emphasizes the prestigious character of the cabin,
• creates a visually consistent strip with other trims in the cockpit,
• provides a pleasant, warm shade of wood that complements both light and dark upholstery.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged element or restoring a uniform finish after previous interior repairs.
