Purpose and function of the component
The presented BMW E39 Centre Console Rear Bracket Cubby Oddments Tray has been designed specifically for BMW E39 series models as a component mounted in the rear part of the centre tunnel. Its purpose is to create a stable, easily accessible space for small items for passengers sitting in the back, without interfering with the vehicle’s factory construction.
This type of solution improves the ergonomics of the rear cabin zone – it allows for organizing items, reduces their movement while driving, and makes it easier to keep the interior clean. As a result, the tray serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, visually completing the rear part of the console.
Color scheme and interior integration
The black color of the component has been selected to create a cohesive whole with the factory plastics and upholstery of the BMW E39. The neutral, dark shade reduces the visibility of minor dirt and operational scratches, while at the same time emphasizing the subdued, classic character of the BMW interior. Thanks to this, the tray does not visually stand out from the other console components, but naturally integrates into it.
Installation in the rear part of the console
The component is intended for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the zone accessible to rear-seat passengers. The design of the bracket has been prepared for factory mounting points, which allows for precise seating without the need for tunnel modifications. Such a solution promotes the preservation of the original interior geometry and minimizes the risk of improper fitment.
The used nature of the part makes it an attractive alternative to new components, especially for repairs, replacing missing elements, or restoring the interior to a condition close to factory-original. At the same time, the original BMW construction specifications are maintained, which is important for long-term operation.
Practical application in daily use
The rear storage tray in the centre console proves useful in daily car use – it allows for conveniently placing small items such as keys, cards, small accessories, or other elements that passengers want to have at hand. This reduces the risk of them getting lost in the nooks and crannies of the interior and improves travel comfort on longer trips.
Replacing a worn or damaged element with the presented tray is a simple way to refresh the rear part of the cabin without the need to interfere with other tunnel components. This solution is particularly useful for the gradual renovation of the vehicle’s interior.
