Saw this on MINIMania MINI Cooper - MINI COOPER ULTIMATE ARMREST BLK/BLK - R55/56/57 C - new.MiniMania.com Looks enticing vs. the OEM one they sell for like $300. Anybody have this? Feedback? Looks like it might be kinda rickety, depends on the mounting hardware
As far as I am concerned this is the best armrest BMW has made for the Mini: Display Products Although It seems expensive now.
Yep, often I can rationalize 'MINI Money' priced items but I just can't wrap my head around $259 to $300 for a freakin armrest!. That MINI logo on the front of this unit must be the difference! Looking at the MINI Mania one a little closer it appears it has more support than just the three screws. From what it's saying it has a addnl support "rubber foot" that rests on existing console. While my non arm rest ride is pretty fine it would be a nice adder. We'll see if Santa thinks I've been naughty or nice. I think the former.....
I put one of these in my 2006 R53. It was solid as a rock. It does have a "foot" that rests on the tunnel just behind the hand brake handle. I paid $170.
