It's the mark 2 or 3 but it was made for an e46/e36 and it fit in my car fine. So i would say yes the armrest you have will fit. Can you post a pic of the armrest u have? __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 11-19-2005, 12:21 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | I'm told the M3 armrest doesn't make a perfect fit.

You will have to buy that separately. Also, I'm told the base that sits below the handbrake is not the same for the M3 and the 318ti. You will have to try and fit the M3 base, to be sure.

The small square area to the front is only found on the 318ti arm rest. Is this the 318ti arm rest in the picture?

I needed a sandbeige model arm rest, and my leather is mint, so I opted for the new arm rest.
