Unfortunately that's just a thin cover that will feel harder than the original. The M Performance center arm rest is quite comfortable. And the stitching is missing (and the M colors are also a nice touch). I will look for something custom.

That looks awful

More of the BMW tax. That armrest is a $200 item with a $200 BMW tax. I like it but not at $400

The whole car is that way.

Personally I think it’s awesome and totally breaks up the colored interiors in a good way.

Good point - my M4 kyalami orange looks great, but the large orange slab of armrest is a borderline eyesore.

Dropping 4-coins for the alcantera is probably a deal breaker for me though.

If you search by the part number you can find it for under $300. The lowest I'm seeing is $285 + shipping.

Hard to believe the price of this doubled since when I first bought it. That is NOT a BMW tax but the world has lost it's collective mind tax.

https://www.bmwpartspros.com/p-bmw-o...ra-51165a5d595 I got mine for $320. That one for $285 is coming from out of the country and will probably make it considerably more expensive when shipping is included.

$320 is pretty solid with shipping.

This is where I saw it (and where I'll be getting mine from). I was quoted $17 for shipping, so $302 out the door.

I got it on classified’s for a better price just a few weeks ago. Brand new. BMW535iva , he may have more.
