Rear Armrest?

Guys

Only had the car 2 weeks which was a factory build and I have an annoying plastic squeakcreek/rattle from the centre section that sits in between the rear seats.

Anyway decided to pull down the rear arm rest and its a normally armrest which comes out in your hand attached by some velcro. Am I missing something here cos to be honest it's the worst centre armrest i have come across as they usually fold out.

It can't be used as an armrest cos it is not fixed to anything.

Can anyone clarify it's correct?

Also has anyone had the same creek/squeak/rattle?

Thanks

Ian

I didn't order anything else, just had the sliding armrest for the front. If that's the way it is standard i just find it poor that's all. Suppose I'm been picky! lol

I'm not familiar with the e92 armrest, but if it's in anyway similar to the e93 armrest (with the throught storage system), you can turn the armrest over to get the cushioned side facing upwards. Kind of agree that it doesn't feel like a proper armrest though.

I don't think this is intended to be an armrest, it just gives access from / to the trunk (for a ski bag for instance). I am not sure you even get the choice / option for an armrest.

Hayzi, what grills are you getting? BMW Performance Black?? Tried to get from my local dealer went through 3 versions and finally was told that couldn't have them...BMW refused to supply them as they "spoiled the M3 look"??

Now BM have released the M3 Edition which has the Black Grills....hmmm

BMW Performance Black, they are available and cost me £35 + vat each. Been delivered to me Monday so once I have them I will let you know the BMW part no.

They have been fitted to the new M3 special editions Monte Carlo etc.

I have been informed by my dealer (who has seen the Press car)that the Editions M3 has Chrome Black Grills/Bonnet Vents not Gloss Black same goes with the wheels. This will be intresting to see.

Have not notice a rear arm rest on mine at all. Have the ski hatch option; guess thats the reason not to have the arm rest?
