Centre Console / Armrest

[Blue]

Hi Guys,

I've been enjoying my hoe 01 for the last couple of months.
It's been one of the best cars I've owned and I even hardly look at my BMW E46 M3 since owning the hoe.


But there is one slight issue with the car.
As I'm 6'6' tall I find the armrest that's in the seat way to close to the body and too narrow aswell.

Now I put my arm on the centre console the whole time and use that as a armrest BUT, since it's not flat and the edges are higher on this centre console (the middle section consists of some bubbled plastic so things that are put on there don't slide) I get a pain in my arm after about 30mins.


Are there any factory/aftermarket options that simply let you replace that top part of the centre console so you get a wide and for example: leather armrest?
(so I mean replacing the cover of the centre bin between the seats so it becomes a big armrest)


Hope this is understandable?

I'll bet if you went to an auto upholstery shop they could make something up for you. It shouldn't be very expensive, and I'm sure they could match it to your leather/cloth interior.

^^^what they said. that would probably be your best bet, i haven't seen any sort of aftermarket applications that replace the stock lid of the center console with an upholstered one or anything similar.
