Default Console Armrest @ bavauto.com

Hi everybody!

For those who decided not to 'bite the bullet' and spend $$$ to mod their ti to use the OEM E36 Console Armrest, did anybody here look into purchasing PN# 01D0021 Console Armrest as an alternative? I was thinking about purchasing one but wanted to see if anybody has any feedback. Price is only $59.95! (better for my budget)

TIA!

Thats way too small for an armest and plus it also takes away the little compartment beneath it. I bought a used Leatherz armrest from a member on bf.c and am really happy with it.

I bought the Bavauto armrest when I first got my car. Took one look and sent it back. Buying the OEM armrest is the best option.

Nice, but it isn't better than the OEM one.

Second only to the OEM model but BMW NA was sold out of the black ones when I ordered. OEM cost was ~ $180, LeatherZ ~ $130.
