Really appreciate the video. I used it to install the Alcantara Arm rest on my M3 as well. Looks great and really ties the interior together. Thanks again.

Thanks, super helpful. Lifting the armrest all the way up made locking the clip in very easy.

Just bought mine today. Gonna watch this like 6 times

That was hard work, just did this mod in my car. Thanks for the instructions! Next up, Apple car play retro fit.

Thanks for the vid. Just did the install. Tip: its much easier to release and re install the spring with the arm rest UP (open). That takes some of the tension off the spring making it easier to press in/out.

Thanks for the vid man, I'm getting my coral red arm rest delivered from Germany soon, can't wait to install(black Dakota leather interior going for a black and red interior look)

Thank you for your movie. 200 percent helpful

Nice video. You've convinced me to do it.

I got it thanks for the video Tommy!!

Great video. I had trouble getting that spring back in lol

great video...the arm rest looks great...think I will do something similar to my BMW M2

Thx Took me only two minutes thx to your video

Great Video Tommy going to do this on my M2 this week.

Thanks you really helped me today... I took out the whole corall red m-sport interior, but couldn’t find out how to take out the armrest, but you really helped me... i saw you had the three coulor stiching, I really like that, I dont like the white stiching as much... I have m135 f20, bought m-sport alcantara interior, but they just have the armrest in black leather, I want it in alcantara, and the Mperformance alcantara is just whith white stiching, I can’t find yours as with the three coulors stiching for my car...?

J’adore les F80 ❤️

Thank you so much for doing this DIY!!!!

Excellent video, thanks!

The armrest is such a pain in the ass to install, especially putting the spring back. Thanks for the instructional video!

Nice mod looks really good

Looks great!

To get the central bit of the spring back in it is much easier if you do it with the lid fully or almost fully open

link to part?

Nice touch 👍. Is it a bit softer on the elbow when driving? Or the same ? "Small details make the biggest difference" looks gr8-gd job , love the deviated stitching , as Nick Murray would say lol

I saw you in Paterson the car looks amazing

You should have the seats done like alcantara on the middle with diamond pattern and tri-color stitching, would look absolutely stunning.

nice, great video

Great!

Nice Job :)

nice just ordered this and the brake boot. Shame there isnt a gloss carbon fiber shift knob that comes with the tri stitch alcantara boot

I broke this little gear on the left of the console. Do you think it can be replaced? Nice video! I wish I've watched it before starting my swap

let me know when you upgrade your shift knob to the one with m stitching! ill take your current one

Hello, thanks to your instructions, I was able to swap the armrest. Unfortunately, the gear on the left felt under the panels. I can't longer find it. Do you have any idea where I could get this? Unfortunately, I don't find anything in the spare parts catalog. Thanks and best regards Marcel

Where did you find it??🤷🏽‍♂️

Looks nice in your car but my center console is Sakhir Orange and I am not sure how will turn out. I have the same steering wheel.

What a guy! haha Love having so much carbon!

Hi nice video In my case the little gear is broken do you know where can I get him or what is named? Thx you

Tommy, how's the wear been on the alcantara after some time? I'm considering getting this armrest but am curious how it will wear since my elbow is always resting on it.

Is it possible to separate the carbon piece of the armrest and use the stock plastic one?

Nice one buddy

Would anyone happen to know if it would fit the F30 too? I want this so bad but the only ones I can find that do fit the F30 is white stitching. Thanks team

Does your shifter have the factory lights as well?

Does this fit on the M2 (2016) ?

I cant push out the Pins! Helppp!

Does this one slide back and forth like the others?? Or is it a fixed position

Tommy L. I recently bought the Alcantara armrest. I am a little hesitant to install it myself because I am afraid to break anything when I am removing the old armrest. Can you help?

Man I’m having trouble with the spring how did you get that back on so easy??

Hi there. Just saw the video the second time in a while. I know know for what the gear piece is. Because I Broke it off 🥴. It's for the led light to Turn in Inside the middle console. When you Open the armrest, the gear piece turns and activates the led Switch. I am trying now to fix it Becouse that piece is not for sale on it's own. And you find it no where in the net. Greetings from Germany Edit. Sorry. I was wrong. It has to be for smooth opening. Becouse there is no cable and nothing to it. I just gut the entire round Insert out. It looked like it was the Switch becouse right next to is the cable for the led light. But I don't know that small bearing gear Thingy should smoth something that big as the armrest. Anyhow. Now I am more calmed since I know it's not for the led light. Greetings

Where did you buy it I want to put it on my f30 335i

I know you Competition package but will you be doing any exhaust mods to get it much louder

WOW that arm rest is #luxe - the Louis Vuitton of car armrests aka carmrests #WWTLD

This was just to make Nick Murray cringe right? lol! Looks dope man, I like it. Great look you got going. (says guy with yas marina blue M3)

does it fit for a f30 335i

To get that spring in it’s much easier if you just lift up the armrest and push it in with a flat head. 😅

2:43 what is red pin in the gear for? i just broke that

How has this held up over time ?

would that specific armrest fit on an f30?

Where do you get it from

Where did you buy that from ?

Did you retrofit new idrive controller ?

Will this fit an E90?

Just tried to do this i broke both gears in each side 😭 surely there must be a Better way to do this

Where did you purchase this armreast?

Where did you buy this?

Where do I buy it

Where did you buy it? :)

Answer your emails

Great video! Only thing I’d add if possible is to be gentle releasing the spring, i used needle nose but didn’t used the curved ones like you and snapped the plastic that held it in 🥲😅

where do u get it
