Purpose and Model Fit for BMW

The presented ashtray with storage compartment has been specifically designed for the interior of BMW X5 and X6 generations F15, F16, F85, and F86. The component's construction is adapted to the factory shape of the console, ensuring that original styling lines and operational ergonomics are maintained after installation. Proper fitting with other Dashboard components minimizes the risk of unwanted gaps, squeaks, or discrepancies in finish color.

Construction and Functionality of the Ashtray with Storage Compartment

The component serves a dual function – a classic ashtray and a practical, lockable storage compartment in the central part of the cockpit. The storage compartment lid is integrated with an opening mechanism, allowing for convenient one-handed access while driving. The interior space is designed to facilitate cabin tidiness while not restricting space on the center tunnel.

The original manufacturing, characteristic of the BMW brand, ensures color and material consistency with other interior elements, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged module or restoring the car to its factory specification.

Application in the Dashboard Area

The ashtray storage compartment is an integral part of the central cockpit, working in conjunction with the control panel, air vents, and other components of the Dashboard group. Proper seating in the designated mounting points ensures the stability of the entire module and limits the transfer of vibrations from the body to the trim elements. This is especially important in cars with higher mileage, where precise part fit affects interior acoustic comfort.

The component is suitable for both standard replacement of a worn or damaged ashtray and for completing missing components after interior disassembly, e.g., during bodywork and paint repairs or cockpit modernization.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered storage compartment is a used part, sourced from vehicle disassembly. Such components are often chosen by BMW users because they allow for maintaining original fit and finish while reducing repair costs. For interior components like the center console ashtray, using a used part allows for visual matching with other cockpit fragments that also have mileage and natural signs of wear.
