I haven't yet either. The closest was the one I mentioned earlier that uses the pin connector for the USB port..which essentially eliminates that USB port.

Purchased this version of the armrest insert: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very happy with it. Matches the OEM black leatherette perfectly. And it also raises the resting position of the armrest by an inch or so, which makes it much more comfortable and usable as an actual armrest. At least for me (6'1" with a longer torso). |

I've been looking but haven't been able to find this item in black with the blue stitching to match my interior. |

My console insert just arrived today, 24 days from when I ordered it from Amazon. I'm giving mine a 9.0 because the fit and color (brown) matches my mocha interior perfectly, although, the accent stitching is whiter that the OEM upholstery stitching. The available storage in the extended compartment is smaller than I expected. I thought I'd include a few pics showing the interior dimensions for this compartment to help anyone that's contemplating this purchase. The OEM center armrest sits level on top of this extender.

It does look good and the color definitely does match your mocha interior. I still have to figure out between having an enclosed storage area like with this or making the existing area into a wireless charging area.

I was thinking too to buy this accessory, but I'm afraid that the armrest will sit too high.
Can anyone count how many clicks (stopping points) it needs to go high with the armrest in order to fit this box? |

The negative of this product? It does make latching the drivers seat belt a little tricky if you're a "fat ass". * Always tryin' to catch me Ridin'Dirty* Last edited by Ridin'Dirty; 09-09-2020 at 07:53 PM.. |

Haters gonna hate. Skaters gotta skate, lol.
Random question re. box style center armrest insert. Currently, to take something out of the center storage bin area, I lift up the armrest piece, then drop it all the way down, past the notches, and lift back up to lock it into my preferred position (max height). With the box insert, I don't think the armrest will be able to swing all the way down anymore to re-engage the locking mechanism. Does the armrest hold itself up by latching in via BMW's factory locking mechanism or is the insert edges supporting the swiveling armrest piece? |

The center armrest assembly is resting entirely on this insert and is not held by the OEM ratcheting/locking latch. Any weight you would place onto the armrest would be supported by this inserted part. *Further thought: If I ever hear a squeak or rattle from plastic on plastic, I'll split a piece of clear tubing for a cushioned bumper onto the inserts' top lip, at the front.
