BMW apparently only installs leatherette centre armrests in the Coupes. The Boston leather part is only available for the Convertibles.

So I took the chance and ordered the Black Boston Leather centre armrest for the Convertible 135i. CDN $325.00 for the part, and CDN $50.00 for the dealer install, and it fits perfectly.

The part number is in the photos above. I ordered mine from Brian Jessel BMW in Vancouver, BC.

It matches the M package leather interior perfectly. And it does away with the leatherette!

Love this car,

Bruce

That sucks. I got excited for second until I saw they don't offer it in Terra.

What is the difference from 2008 & 2009 models? Are they a different shape?

Awesome info guys, looks like another part I'll have to be ordering.

FYI, you can plug any part number in here and then order from Dan@United: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...215011&make1=3

He is an awesome vendor and I've ordered a lot from him, so I'll surely be getting this part from him as well.

Oh man even if you have leather seats, the arm rest is still leatherette? I had no idea... I always wondered why the armrest felt so funny
