Purpose and function of the console cover

The described cover acts as a plastic blanking plug for the rear part of the centre console in the BMW E87, responsible for aesthetically finishing the assembly in the rear seat area. This element helps to visually organize the space for rear passengers, limits the visibility of mounts and console structure, and makes it easier to keep the interior clean.

Thanks to its dedicated shape and factory design for this specific 1 Series generation, the cover ensures stable mounting and proper fitment with other centre console components. It is a practical solution when replacing a damaged or missing cover after interior repairs or console modifications.

Colour scheme and interior integration

The black shade of the cover has been selected to match the typical interior colour schemes of the BMW E87, making it easy to maintain a consistent cabin appearance. The neutral colour blends well with both dark fabric and leather upholstery without introducing unnecessary contrast.

In practice, this means that once installed, the element harmoniously integrates with the centre console, tunnel side panels, and the rear part of the cabin, restoring an orderly, factory-original character to the interior. This is particularly important for vehicles where maintaining the original cockpit look is a priority.

Installation characteristics

The cover is intended for installation in the rear part of the console, in the area for rear passengers. The design, tailored to the BMW E87, allows for installation in place of the factory cover without the need for console modifications or the use of additional adapters.

Due to the material used, the element is lightweight yet sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape and stability once mounted. It is a practical solution for restoring the completeness of the console assembly after the removal of other components or following previous interior repairs.

Condition and use in interior service

The offered cover comes from the used parts segment, making it a reasonable choice for economical repairs or replacing missing elements in a BMW E87. Such components are often used in workshops specializing in interior service, during the reconstruction of the centre console after work on installations running within it.

Replacing a worn or damaged cover with an original element from the same group allows for maintaining stylistic and structural consistency, which is important both for user comfort and for the vehicle's future resale value.
