Purpose and function in the centre console

The cupholder frame is a component from the Console Parts group, responsible for the aesthetic and functional finish of the space around the cupholder in the BMW 7 Series F01/F02 LCI centre console. Its purpose is to:

• provide a stable border for the factory cupholder,
• protect the edges of the console from mechanical damage,
• ensure a visually cohesive connection between the cupholder and other trim elements.

Thanks to its chrome finish, the frame harmoniously blends with other interior decor, emphasizing the premium character of the BMW cockpit.

Construction and chrome finish

The element was designed by BMW as part of the original centre console system, which guarantees a perfect fit for the geometry of the centre tunnel in post-facelift F01/F02 versions. The chrome surface of the frame:

• creates an elegant contrast with the console material,
• makes it easier to keep the cupholder area clean,
• enhances the visual quality of the interior, especially when combined with other trim pieces.

As an OEM part, the frame maintains the factory styling line, which is essential for post-accident repairs, replacing worn components, or restoring the car to its original interior specification.

Installation and compatibility with BMW F01/F02 LCI

The cupholder frame is intended for installation in the centre console of the post-facelift (LCI) BMW 7 Series F01/F02, utilizing factory mounting points. This means that it:

• fits the original cupholder in the centre tunnel,
• does not require any structural modifications to the console,
• allows for removal and installation as part of standard service procedures.

As a result, the part is suitable both for replacing a damaged frame and for comprehensive interior restoration, where precise fitment of components is key.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered frame comes from the used BMW parts segment, which allows you to optimize the costs of repair or interior refreshment while maintaining the original origin of the component. A used console element:

• is an attractive price alternative to new parts,
• enables maintaining color and material consistency with other interior elements,
• allows for economical repair in case of localized damage in the cupholder area.

This type of solution is particularly beneficial for vehicles used on a daily basis, where a reasonable balance between cost and functional cabin refreshment is important.
