Z4 M centre armrest

garz747 · 03-13-2019, 01:12 PM

While looking at a 3300mile roadster on a Hemmings website i spotted a cool armrest mounted behind the hand brake that ive never seen ? It does not appear to be the one from "leathers" as it sits lower down on the existing u shaped padding. Anyone know the source- sorry i wish i knew how to upload photo...

Edit: could it be the Roadster Solutions armrest? Although material looks different.

Damn I wish I had Imola interior. Would be so perfect with Space Gray. And this roadster is spec'd perfectly IMHO - Imola leather, carbon leather dash, no nav. Perfection!

My buddy has an 07 3.0si in titanium silver with an almost identical dream red interior. Looks awesome.

Wish my coupe lacked nav as it's the same inside otherwise as this roadster.

She's a beauty, but 3k miles... lots of issues could be hiding in a car that was rarely, if ever, driven. But that is definitely a roadster solutions armrest, I have one just haven't gotten around to installing it yet.

Personally, if I had nav, I would get rid of it. The non-nav head unit is pretty easy to obtain via Ebay, pull out the display unit in the dash and fabricate a cover, then take it to an upholstery shop and have the dash done in leather - voila, navigation no more. And a nicer dash in its place. Total cost would be minimal.

A few months ago I was chatting with Eric at EAG, and was considering buying one of the Z4MC's he had at the time. I ultimately decided to pass on it. He tried to redirect me to a more expensive one with less miles, but it had nav & aluminum trim - both show stoppers for me, especially together. He then told me that non-nav cars were fetching as much as $4k over nav-equipped cars. Seems like an extraordinary figure, but he would know.

I've had the same though and may go that route if I don't swap it out for something more modern and useful....I can believe the 4k premium thing, I'd pay a premium for an imola/imola with carbon leather and no nav.

I have Nav in my Z4 M Roadster and it gets more outdated every day it seems! But while the navigation itself is outdated, and the interface, how to you access the various menu items without the screen?
