R50/53 New Center Arm Rest
New Center Arm Rest
I am getting ready to spec out my new 05 MCSC 
and I have a question regarding the new center armrest that will be available in 05. I am concerned with the ease of use of the lumbar support adjustment **** and the seat back adjustment lever if this armrest is installed. I have seen pictures of the armrest installed in a car without the lumbar adjustments and it didn't look like there would be much room to adjust. I had an aftermarket armrest installed in my 03 MCS (with sport seats/lumbar) and I ended up taking it out due to not being able to use the seat adjustments.

I think the new factory armrest is the Mini-Fini one and I've had no problems with it being in the way. It easily folds up where it attaches and leaves plenty of room for seat adjustments. I really enjoy my armrest.:smile:
