Overview

If you’ve ever caught your elbow on the center armrest while shifting, you know how frustrating it is. This armrest delete conversion for the BMW E36 solves that problem while unlocking far more functional storage.

It replaces the bulky OEM armrest with a streamlined rear console featuring dual oversized 72mm cupholders and a deep central cubby. The result? A cleaner interior, more usable space, and improved ergonomics — especially for manual transmission owners who value elbow room and practicality.

It’s designed for a factory-style bolt-in install using your original OEM screw points. We include a custom bracket and all required hardware — no cutting, no guesswork, no rattle.

Main Feature

✅ Deletes bulky OEM armrest to improve elbow room and cabin usability
✅ Adds dual 72mm cupholders — fits oversized bottles, tumblers, and coffee cups
✅ Central storage cubby for small items like keys, wallet, or sunglasses
✅ Installs using OEM screw points with included bracket and hardware
✅ No cutting, gluing, or permanent modifications
✅ Built from carbon fiber-infused polymer — ultra-rigid and chemical-resistant
✅ Refined over thousands of installs for perfect OEM+ fitment

Installation

✅ Remove OEM armrest assembly
✅ Attach included bracket to OEM screw holes
✅ Mount new console using provided hardware
✅ Install time: ~10 to 20 minutes
✅ 100% reversible — no damage or modification to vehicle

Option Guide

✅ One version fits all E36 models originally equipped with a center armrest
Emblem Option: Choose between a M Power-inspired Rendition emblem or a clean no-logo version
Blank Cover: Add a snap-in blanking plate to cover the hole after you remove the armrest — ideal for a cleaner, racing-oriented appearance
✅ Includes custom-fit mounting bracket and all required hardware for OEM screw point install

Updates & Improvements

Converted armrest space into dual cupholder + storage cubby layout
Uses OEM screw locations with supplied bracket and install kit
