LCI Armrest Lock Upgrade
Hello!
I just traded in my 2008 Montego Blue 335i xDrive coupe for a 2012 Space Grey M Sport 535i xDrive. My wife and I are expecting our first child and it was time to trade up to a sporty family sedan. I'm very happy with the F10 so far, the DHP feature is really something special! I was looking at the arm rest in the LCI F10 models and it seems like they have a new/upgraded arm rest lock,button, and cover. Does anyone know if these LCI parts are interchangeable? The pre-LCI cover and button are made of black plastic and the LCI parts look to be made of aluminum. Have a look at some examples below. The part #'s for the pre-LCI parts are the same as the LCI. Is there something I'm missing here? Can anyone let me know if the parts are interchangeable and what the LCI part #'s are? BODY HARDWARE / CONSOLE / CONSOLE / Lock Part Number: 51169213661 lock W/O M MODEL BODY HARDWARE / CONSOLE / CONSOLE / Cover Part Number: 51169171552 cover W/O M MODEL BODY HARDWARE / CONSOLE / CONSOLE / Cap Part Number: 51169206721 cap W/O M MODEL Thanks for your help!

Don't know but I never lock my glove boxes and I don't leave anything in them. If someone breaks in to your car, do you really want them to tear the covers off looking for stuff? Just let them open the thing - no damage.

Thanks for the reply Grover. I'm not doing this for safety purposes, I'm interested in the enhanced look of the aluminum on the arm rest, not the glove box. It matches the rest of the interior better and doesn't look as cheap.

Personally, for what it's worth, I think the black blends in better as aluminum stands out a bit more in those photos you posted (trim around iDrive and shifter isn't aluminum anyway, is it ? I'm not sure to be honest, I thought it was all "shiny" plastic anyway?) Just my opinion, sorry I know I'm not helping in terms of "does it fit properly". |

The other one matches nothing, as it's different color (and maybe texture too) from both, the plastic "aluminum like ??" trim as well as buttons and transmission black plastic. Matter of taste I suppose, hope you sort it all out Last edited by Bbb34; 01-29-2015 at 11:19 AM.. |

What really looks nice is the full leather interior of the M5 I test drove. I'd consider one if it could just stop spinning its wheels while trying to get moving.

I have Aluminium with black leather with of course the black lock, the contrast work wonders it makes the Aluminium look good! the chances the plastic will never be a match to the Aluminium and will look out of place.

Not to be rude, but I'm not interested in anyone's opinion on if this will look good or not. I posted this thread to obtain correct part #'s and find out if the pieces are interchangeable. |

Danny271 , based on the parts catalog, they are interchangeable.

If only after the part number, I guess the only option is contact your dealer and order the part, don't see the point of a tread if after all you still have to get the final word from the supplier! Good luck with it! |

I never asked anyone if they thought it would look good, I simply asked for help with part #'s and if anyone had successfully completed this modification. I was waiting for Tischer BMW to get back with me on an answer. I'll close the thread now. Thanks but no thanks?! |

Is the trim piece alone a direct swap out for the pre-LCI black plastic unit? Thanks.

Does anyone know how you lock and unlock the center console lock?
Hi, I know this is an over 3-year old thread, however, the lock on my 2014 LCi F10 just disintegrated. Evidently I have no clue how to lock and unlock it. I mistakenly thought you used the built-in key slot thingee that is part of the key fob. Nope, it wouldn't turn the lock cylinder and then the thing completely "exploded" meaning the entire lock cylinder popped out along with a spring, and the plastic pieces surrounding it came out as well. I'm afraid to find out how much the dealer will want to remove and replace this!
So... does anyone know what key is to be used to lock and unlock this console lock? Thanks.
