Armrest wear from elbow...any suggestions

mjposner · 08-27-2018, 06:31 AM

As title says, my center console armrest is starting to show wear where I rest my elbow when driving. Its an integrated piece and I have found no one making replacements or upgrades (like alcantara).

Suggestions?

A cheaper solution could be to bring it to a decent body shop, their interior guys should be able to re-wrap it and put new foam underneath.

what kind of wear are you experiencing? just discoloration? tearing? do you have a pic of the wear?

Call BMW customer relations and file a complain, I have had great experience with their service.
