Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented ashtray is designed for installation in the front part of the centre console, in an area accessible to the driver and passenger. The construction is tailored to the factory interior finish of BMW 5 Series E60 and E61 models, allowing the component to integrate harmoniously with the centre console without the need for mounting or structural modifications.

Its placement in the front of the cabin ensures convenient access while driving, while also allowing for the aesthetic concealment of contents when the lid is closed, which improves the overall visual appeal of the interior.

Functionality and application

The ashtray serves as a practical storage compartment within the centre console area. Depending on user preference, it can be used as:

• a classic ashtray for smokers,
• an additional, lockable storage compartment for small items (e.g., coins, small accessories),
• an element for organizing space in the front part of the cabin.

Thanks to the factory design, the appropriate depth and shape of the interior are maintained, which facilitates cleaning and prevents contents from spilling during driving.

Product characteristics and fitment

As an item from the Other storage and organization accessories group, the ashtray supports ergonomic space management in the cabin. It has been designed to maintain stylistic consistency with other centre console elements, which is important both for repairs and for restoring the interior to a condition close to factory specifications.

The product comes from the BMW range, which means compliance with factory assembly and finish standards. Such a solution minimizes the risk of fitment issues and eliminates the need for non-factory modifications.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered ashtray is a secondary market component, which allows for an economical replacement of damaged or missing equipment while maintaining original BMW specifications. Choosing a used OEM component is often a reasonable compromise between cost and build quality, as well as fitment for a specific model.
