No, it`s not. This is the version for all 1 and 2 series.
Should be the same on 3 and 4 series with the matte carbon.

This one is for the m3/m4.

Anyways found more information on it, it's on the U.K. And U.S. bmw website. Called my guy at bmw and they can get them as well.

Do we have a part number for the 2er?

[AnooooOH]

ist it possible to install the m4 armrest in our cars?

Here`s the part number of the armrest for the 1 and 2 series:
51 16 2 405 915

i think it'll be cheaper to find local upholstery shop to wrap it up in alcantara.

[AnooooOH]

Yes of course, but you won`t get the carbon part there!

Has the standard M Performance version got a carbonfibre section at the rear like the M version can't tell from the pictures?
Guess it has just doesn't show because the armrest isn't slide forward like on the M stitched picture version

For those in the US, you can get this for ~$180 from Brian at Sun Motor Cars

Part number is indeed 51 16 2 405 915

Does anybody know how difficult it is to install this item? It really goes well with the rest of the CF trim. This plus the performance steering wheel

Just looked at the repair manual for the 1 series (couldnt find the 2), and it looks like the trim on the hinge of the armrest pops off, then there are springs that need to be taken out. I assume you just reverse the process for the new install.

Thanks for sharing that. I'd still like to hear of someone's experience installing this before springing for it. I installed the M Perforamnce gear-shift knob and e-brake on Saturday and am eventually planning on getting the CF/alcantara trim set, and I'll probably pick up the armrest too (if it's an easy DIY job) to complete the look.

Can anybody share install instructions?
