anybody interested in an all-black arm rest with storage compartment for $120? got it from minimania.com for about $160. brand new. well, not used because i didn't realize it was gonna take up my one usable cup holder in the center rear. and i do need that cup holder so i don't mess up my interior with juice or soda.
if i could get a armrest that didn't take up my valuable cup holder, i'd get it definitely.

 

anyone know if this is still available?

 

This may not help as I truly don't recall where I saw it, but there is an armrest out there that is held in place with two arcing brushed silver supports - it looked quite nice but did not have the storage compartment feature. Anybody recall seeing this as it does solve the problem of using the rear cupholder which I also use in lieu of the ones up front.

 

Search ebay - mini cooper arm rest - or - armrest.

I'm pretty sure I've seen what you're describing there. And it doesn't occupy the c/h.

 

thanks for the tips, there are no open auctions on ebay but i saw some completed items that were exactly as described above. anyone here use either of these armrests? i was planning on getting one with a storage compartment...

 

This is the alternative armrest with arches

About $180 plus shipping from Germany via CTD

No storage and still uses up the rear cup holder

this one is on ebay, looks similar to the one from germany but maybe not as nice?

I have the Leather Z armrest and love it! At $105 it is also reasonable. Now if he only made a removable one that clipped over the usless one on the door. I do quite a bit of long distance driving
