Purpose and function in the dashboard

The presented storage tray is a component from the Dashboards category, mounted in the front part of the vehicle's interior. Its design is tailored to the layout of the LCI version centre console, ensuring continuity of the styling lines and proper fitment with adjacent panels and covers. This solution allows for convenient storage of small accessories, documents, or mobile devices within the driver's reach.

Construction and fitment for BMW E60 / E61 LCI

The storage tray integrated with the shelf has been developed specifically for the cockpit architecture of the BMW 5 Series E60/E61 generation after the facelift. The shape, mounting points, and edge geometry are adapted to the factory centre console, which facilitates installation and avoids the need for modifications. As a result, the component creates a seamless surface with other dashboard parts after installation, without any unwanted gaps or tension.

Its original BMW origin means that the materials used, surface texture, and colour scheme are consistent with the factory standards for this model. This allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged or missing storage tray without disrupting the interior's appearance.

Operational characteristics and installation

The component is designed for daily use in the front cabin area. Its ergonomic placement in the centre console facilitates access for both the driver and passenger, while the design of the tray and shelf promotes the orderly arrangement of small items. This practical solution is particularly useful in daily-driven vehicles, where quick access to frequently used accessories is essential.

As an OEM part from the Dashboards category, the storage tray is prepared for installation in factory mounting points. Replacement is usually limited to removing the old component and installing the new one, while maintaining the original geometry and compatibility with adjacent panels.

Why choose a used OEM component

Choosing a used OEM component for a BMW interior allows you to maintain factory fitment and stylistic consistency while reducing costs compared to a new part. Original dashboard components are designed for long-term use, which is why even a used storage tray can still provide proper functionality and aesthetics. This is a sensible solution for post-accident repairs, replacing worn-out panels, or completing missing parts after previous interior modifications.
