250 is ridiculous. If the leatherz one sits a little too low, make an extension plate, simplist thing to do. With the OEM unit, don't you loose the cup holders? The leatherz complete set up has cup holders.
Pay $250 to lose the cup holders. Doesn't make much sense, IMO. __________________

However, you will notice from the pic that you do not lose the cup holder completely. Moreover, you will be able to lift up the armrest to access the rest of the space as well. The cost as you will see, will depend on what exactly you need. The armrest itself ($130.00), or the entire contraption ($225.00). I would contact them by phone for specific ?? | | | | | 08-08-2006, 08:57 PM | #24 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL. Posts: 181 |
Go OEM # 1 if they have your color available. I had the LeatherZ model in my ti. It was good but a bit lower than OEM version in my M3. LeatherZ model may take up to 10 minutes to install - very easy. | | | | | 08-08-2006, 09:34 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I think I paid $190.00 from the dealer for the entire kit. Quote: Originally Posted by madfronter Hey L8, how much was the complete arm rest kit from the dealer? | __________________

I'm trying to dig up an OEM armrest from either a junkyard or ebay... can someone post a picture or two of one?? Especially how it connects to the center console... also: do I need to replace the whole center console from the cupholders back to have one? Can't really tell from the pictures...
Thanks in advance... __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

Does anyone have the part number to the OEM Arm Rest Kit?
And do you lose the Cup Holders?
Thanks! | | | | | |
