Purpose and Fitment for BMW Z4 E85

The presented ashtray has been specifically developed for the BMW Z4 E85 model and is installed in the front section of the center console. Thanks to its factory origin, it retains the correct shapes, mounting points, and geometry, ensuring a secure fit in the panel and no play during operation. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a part due to mechanical damage or wear and tear.

Appearance and Integration with the Dashboard

The ashtray features a black finish, color-matched to the factory center console elements of the BMW. The neutral color facilitates stylistic consistency of the cockpit, regardless of the interior equipment configuration. As a part of the Dashboard group, it provides an aesthetic closure for the console space, concealing the interior of the storage compartment and the manufacturer-intended ashtray location.

Functionality in the Front Console Area

Its placement in the front center console area ensures convenient access for both the driver and the passenger. The ashtray's design is adapted to the standard panel, allowing for:

• maintaining the original functionality intended by the manufacturer,
• easy opening and closing while driving,
• keeping the area around the gear shifter and control panel tidy.

This item can also be used as a small, lockable storage compartment for small accessories if the vehicle is not used as a smoking area.

Characteristics of a Used OEM Part

The ashtray is a dismantled part, meaning it is an original BMW component in used condition. This type of OEM part allows for maintaining factory fit and compatibility with other console elements, while also reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new component. It is a practical solution for restoring full interior functionality after damage or during cockpit renovation.
