Can anyone provide me with the part number for the North American factory MINI Armrest? I know most will say that the Euro armrest is better, but I don't like it aesthetically and want this one instead.

FYI, I have an 07 R56 MCS.

Thanks.

 

don't do it

Pricey, but make sure it includes the Console Replacement parts needed.

Minspeed (link in my sig) has a better price on the Euro Armrest.

 

This infuriates me. I was told by my dealer that this armrest couldn't be retrofitted to the R56 and that it was factory only. I paid $700 for the crappy Euro armrest and labour to install it.

Did I get hosed or what?!

Unfortunately that was a year ago and I guess now I'm stuck with the stupid thing. Ugh. Can't wait til the warranty's up on this one and I can get a new MINI.

 

I would say you got hosed. Anything can be done but at what price. I realy see no reason why the OEM arm rest should not be able to be installed. The only problem is the number of pieces to be replaced as the center console unit needs to be changed when the arm rest is installed.

 

I love mine, the euro arm rest is just to big.
