Purpose and compatibility for BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI

The presented ashtray is dedicated to BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI (facelift) models, where it is mounted in the central part of the front console. The construction, based on the original BMW design, ensures a proper fit with the surrounding centre tunnel elements, without the need for modifications or adjustments to the mounts.

The component is designed for installation in the front driver and passenger area, allowing for convenient access to the storage compartment and the cigarette lighter socket during daily vehicle operation.

Satinsilber finish and interior colour scheme

The ashtray is finished in a silver shade, referred to in the BMW range as Satinsilber. This colour blends well with the factory aluminium and silver trim in the E90/E91 LCI, creating a cohesive, orderly look for the centre console. The silver finish highlights the modern character of the interior and facilitates visual matching with other decorative elements.

Thanks to its neutral, subdued tone, the component can be used in both light and dark upholstery configurations without the risk of disrupting the cockpit styling.

Functionality of the ashtray and cigarette lighter socket

The centre console ashtray serves a dual function: a closable ash storage compartment and a housing for the cigarette lighter in the front part of the interior. This solution allows for:

• maintaining order in the cabin thanks to the closable lid,
• convenient access to the cigarette lighter socket for the driver and passenger,
• retaining the original equipment layout intended by the manufacturer.

Basing the construction on the factory BMW design promotes seamless integration with the vehicle's electrical system (on the car side), and the ashtray module itself remains a replaceable element without interfering with the console structure.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the BMW 3 Series E90 E91 LCI Ashtray Centre Console Satinsilber Silver Lighter is a sensible choice for repairing or restoring interior equipment without the need to invest in a new component. Such parts are particularly useful for:

• replacing a damaged or missing ashtray,
• restoring the completeness of the centre console after modifications,
• interior refreshment projects while maintaining the original BMW character.

Choosing an original dismantled part helps maintain material and colour consistency with the rest of the cockpit parts.
