This is the part number it's available from your dealer now. Here's a couple of pictures of mine.

Would it be possible to post a pic of the armrest from the back seat area? I'm curious as to the looks of it since I understand the aftermarket version avaiilable here on the forum rests on wires?

The iPod would fit without a problem. You could get several ipods in there.

From the back the look is so-so...its metal legs go all the way to the floor and bolt under the seats. It in no way interferes with the rear cupholder.

Is this photo of any use to you ?

Got my -05 armrest yesterday, I can’t wait to get it installed.
About those metal legs it stands on, I was thinking about covering them in leather, making the interior look little more upmarket…
Have anybody done that? And if, do you got any picture you can show me?

Anyone know if any of the armrests have been shipped? I don't see any charge to my credit card as of 12/2/04. Thanks.

I do see a charge on my account from Autohaus Rumphorst. Amount is a bit more than I had hoped but is not unexpected given the beating the USD has been taking against the Euro. Now, we'll see how long it takes to get over the big pond! Thanks to Alex!!

Hi,

I placed my order for the armrest on Nov 20 and it was processed on Nov 29 (check your credit card statement). Can't wait to see it.

I have for sale a BMW Mini armrest only 4 weeks old bought from Mini main dealer, I'm selling due to getting shot of my 6 week old Cooper.

Mr One - u have a PM

Has anyone found out if the Mini arm rest pictured in this thread is the same one that's going on "05 builds in February? What does "not approved" for US cars mean? I'm just wondering if the arm rest included in the S Premium pakage is the same. If so, why the delay?

So many questions...

thanks

Hi all,

I just got my armrest, about 3 weeks after I placed the order. It didn't come with the installation manual. Can anyone tell me how to install it?

Thanks in advance.

I think Motoringfile has a how to...

Nevertheless, it's simple. you'll need a Torx size 40 and a ratchet with a short extension to hold it...

1. loosen the two front seat floor bolts on the inmost sides of the seat up front....
2. remove the two front seat bolts on the inmost side at the rear of the front seats...
3. slide the armrest mounts under the front seat frames so the holes line up and put the rearmost bolts back in...
4. tighten the front bolts back down
5. fill it full of stuff.
