On fitting this armrest into the Z3, it doesn't look out of place, however when comparing to other cars, it may for some to initially, look a little on the high side? This is without the additional fitting 'B'. One could fabricate. It is really down to personal preferences. I like it and the USB/LED utilities are useful, (after connecting the internal wiring to a live/ignition supply). There is still enough room for using the original compartments underneath this unit if using the 'bridge' attachment, (see above images) I am using this bridge, the gap below is being used for i.e. to store sunglasses etc,
