Purpose and function of the component

The rear centre console armrest cover in the BMW F40 is responsible for providing comfortable forearm support for rear passengers and an aesthetic finish to the central tunnel area. As part of the Parcel shelves and luggage covers group, it belongs to the vehicle's rear equipment, contributing to a functional cargo and passenger space. The black colour scheme makes it easy to match with most factory BMW interior configurations, and the perforated leather structure improves heat dissipation from the surface, increasing comfort during longer journeys.

Materials and finish

The cover is made of high-quality leather with a perforated texture, characteristic of modern BMW interiors. The black colour ensures a universal fit with the upholstery and other console elements, while also reducing the visibility of minor dirt. The perforation improves usability – the surface is pleasant to the touch, less prone to overheating, and harmonises better with other leather elements of the cabin.

Vehicle placement and compatibility

The component is designed for installation in the rear part of the interior, in the centre console area between the passenger seats. Thanks to its factory geometry and original BMW origin, the cover maintains proper fitment with the console structure and adjacent panels. This solution is particularly beneficial for:

• interior renovation after intensive use,
• replacing damaged or worn-out armrest upholstery,
• restoring the original look of the cabin after bodywork repairs or service work.

Condition, origin and advantages of using a used part

The offered armrest cover is an original BMW component in used condition, which allows for maintaining factory build quality and compliance with the manufacturer's design. Choosing a dismantled part is a reasonable compromise between costs and maintaining the original character of the interior – especially in the case of premium models, where matching the leather texture and shade is of great visual importance. A used OEM element minimises the risk of installation problems typical of aftermarket replacements and allows for quick, predictable installation in place of the old cover.

Expansion and retrofitting of the BMW rear interior zone

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear zone in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as additional covers, panels, or modular luggage compartment partitions, check the available parts in the BMW Parcel shelves and luggage covers category.
