This comfortable Armrest from Italy is easy to install, works great, and looks like it belongs in your MINI. It is easily attached to the center console while still offering easy access to the handbrake. (For MINIs without the factory Armrest.)
Retractable pad with a storage compartment beneath, and a retractable cup holder. The entire armrest assembly can be ‘flipped up’ out of the way when not in use.
This armrest works even with the seat in the maximum forward position! Simply slide the armpad in the ‘open’ position to extend its reach.

Install Level: MODERATE
Tools required: PHILIPS SCREWDRIVER
Installation is simple: The armrest bracket mounts into the rear cup holder with three screws. The storage compartment’s padded bottom surface rests on the center console supporting any weight applied to the armrest. The design allows for easy access to the emergency brake handle.

No armrest for a 2006?
I bought this for my 2015 F55s and can't get the screws to drive into the plastic. I am tempted to try my cordless drill, but scared i'm going to drive the screws too far in. Is this a known difficulty with the 2015 models or am I just doing something wrong? I have put all my weight into trying to drive the screw in and it's not tapping.
Like the idea, not the price!
$200 is too much for my blood.
Will it fit a 2013 R58 Coupe?
I like the idea but I can't imagine a universe exists where I would pay $200 for it.
Hello, I was given an R53 for free 2 weeks ago, but it will not start. We've changed, starter, battery, alternator, fuel filter, plugs, coil pack, and checked all fuses. Can't get it to crank, my friend says it could be the crank sensor. Any advise would greatly appreciated. Btw we also check the clutch sensor, seems to be ok. Thank you.
Bought a mini and subbed. What generation do I have: ? 2012 jcw 2 door hardtop 1.6turbo
thanks
Do you guys have the retro arm rest bluetooth kit, my mini has those r/the button but doesn't have the pairing kit to pair with my phone. I went on the website but came up empty handed.
i got this one.. but there is one problem.. if you like using a lot of handbrake.. it is no more almost possible.. it is on top of handbreak
Will this work on a R57S?
1. Too expensive, 2. The storage compartment does not open from the front. Access only from the back is a problem for the driver, 3. I don't have leather seats so can't use it anyway
When is this going on sale?
Looks very effective and easy to fit, but why oh why have you ditched the chrome ring? It's supposed to be an upgrade, and the cup holder looks worse. It seemed more shallow too, though do like the overall product, especially with hidden storage and extra (chrome ring!) cup holder.
Thank you for much man.
HOW MUCH :O
yo $200 are y'all serious??
Hey i have a wierd armrest that moves up how can I get this
Hey dude where did you buy it?
200$ are you insane
I have just ordered this ultimate armrest from you at Mini Mania. I can’t wait to get it. I’m sure it is going to help me rest my left arm when driving longer distances. Out here in India we have right hand drive cars, hence I need to rest my left arm.
This ultimate armrest is clearly so much better and significantly less expensive than the OEM one from BMW.
I bought this Ultimate Armrest for my 2012 Cooper S R56. I had it shipped down to India where I live. I received it last week and installed it today. It fits like a dream and is just so phenomenally useful when one is driving. Especially in an Auto Transmission vehicle like mine is. Very comfortable to drive while resting the left arm. (India uses Right Hand Drive like the UK.)
The idea is there but for those that like drifting or rally racing, pulling the hand brake would be harder.
where is the ashtray?
If you're replacing the OEM armrest on the R53, do you have to use the delete kit with this?
Emergency brake 🤔 🇺🇲 Handbrake 🇬🇧
🤣🤣🤣
Random but I have an R50 cooper 2002 doesn't have isofit do you or any R50 fans recommend a child seat (forward facing) for a three year old??
