Purpose and function in the BMW cockpit

The presented centre console integrated with an ashtray has been designed specifically for the interior of the BMW 6 Series, generations F06, F12, and F13. This element belongs to the Console Parts group, responsible for covering the central part of the tunnel between the seats, organizing the space, and providing convenient access to the ashtray for both the driver and passenger.

The factory mounting geometry and surface shape allow for a perfect fit with the remaining cockpit panels, which is crucial when replacing a damaged or incomplete console. This ensures the continuity of the dashboard's styling lines and the ergonomics of the controls located in the centre tunnel.

Material, colour scheme, and visual fit

The console is finished with leather upholstery, which is characteristic of higher BMW trim levels and emphasizes the premium character of the interior. The black colour of the trim allows for a harmonious blend with the standard colour schemes of most cabin configurations in F06, F12, and F13 models, without the need for additional modifications.

The leather surface of the centre tunnel provides a pleasant-to-touch material in an area frequently used by the driver and passenger. At the same time, the ease of keeping leather clean helps maintain the interior's aesthetics during daily use, especially in areas prone to dirt associated with using an ashtray.

Ashtray and ergonomics of use

The integrated ashtray in the centre console is a functional piece of equipment that allows for safe and organized use of the cabin space. Its placement in the central part of the tunnel ensures convenient access for both the driver and the front passenger without restricting access to other controls.

This solution allows for the preservation of the original BMW interior layout, which is important when restoring a vehicle to a near-factory state, e.g., after accident repairs or during the renovation of a premium car. Thanks to the retention of the factory ergonomic concept, operating the ashtray and the entire console remains intuitive.

Characteristics of the used part and service application

The offered centre console with an ashtray is a used part, making it an attractive service solution for BMW owners who want to reduce repair costs while maintaining the original component specification. Replacing a worn or damaged console with an original second-hand component helps avoid fitment issues typical of poor-quality aftermarket replacements.

The element is suitable for both standard replacement as part of interior repairs and for comprehensive vehicle restoration, where consistency of materials, colours, and compliance with the factory BMW cockpit design is essential.
