BMW 328i Center Console Base

The BMW 328i Center Console Base is an organizer for the cockpit that provides a convenient location for the driver to hold everyday items while remaining attentive to the road. Nestled between the front seats in the car's interior, this Center Console Base is a small yet sturdy component where coins, phones, keys, and all other essentials are kept within easy reach to prevent cluttering inside and distracting while driving any BMW sedan. Through the years of production, the design brief was held constant. Nonetheless, two major styles were developed. One was an early Center Console Base featuring a simpler open tray plus a flip-lid compartment. The other was a later Center Console Base with molded cup holders and a deeper covered bin for more contemporary gadgets. The main difference is capacity and the presence of spaces for beverages. Otherwise, both versions lock in place to minimize rattles when driving spiritedly. In all instances, the Center Console Base depends on a solid plastic shell that bolts to the factory mounting points, so installation lines up perfectly with surrounding trim to maintain the high-class cabin look you expect from BMW. Many owners of the 328i love how this feature makes the use of space without compromising on style, further establishing everyday practicality that the 328i is known for.

If you are looking for OEM BMW 328i Center Console Base, we highly recommend to shop with us. Not only do we offer budget friendly prices, but we also provide fast delivery. In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW 328i Center Console Base that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
