Purpose and function of the component

• adhere precisely to factory mounting points,
• maintain a uniform stylistic line with other decors in the cabin,
• meet the factory quality standards of the BMW brand.

The wooden surface gives the center console a more prestigious character while improving visual consistency between the dashboard, door panels, and the armrest zone.

In practice, this translates into:

• easier assembly and disassembly during service or renovation work,
• no need for structural modifications within the console,
• preservation of the factory interior look after replacing the component.
