This is a genuine BMW centre armrest cover, part number 51 16 2 257 287. The number stamped on the part is 51162257287; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2257287. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Mirrors, trims, storage compartments.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe and compact (318i, 318ti, 320i, 325i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M42, M44, M50 or S50 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 5 diagrams, among them Armrest front (51_2200) and Armrest front (51_3098). It weighs about 20 g (under 0.1 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
