2002 325i center arm rest

[Lostman]

I just picked up my first BMW. So far I love it. Question I have is, It's a regular 2002 325i. The center console has 2 drink holders, the coin holder but no arm rest. Can someone send me or post here a picture of their center console on a like model so I can see if I'm missing something?

I look forward to reading all of these threads in great detail to learn more about my new car.

u should definitely have an armrest. sounds like someone took it out b4 selling the car.

Anyone have any pics so I know exactly what I'm missing? This is odd because the rest of the car is in A- condition.

Here are all the arm rest/center console configurations I could find in the BMW OEM catalog:

Hmm. looks to be 3 separate types. Mine has all the junk from the top one, but I don't see a spot for an actual arm rest there. Does anyone else have this series with no actual place to put your arm?

i've never seen an e46 3 without an armrest. do u have a pix of yours to post? my cars in the shop- otherwise i'd post a pix for u...

Here you go. I just don't see where it would attach. It doesn't seem like it's missing anything.

You have the first console in the photos above, the arm rest version must have been an option that you do not have.

Seems that way. Thanks for the help guys.
