Hello everyone. First time posting on the forum. I recently purchased a near flawless Silver 2004 M45 with only 28k original miles on the odometer. The car is near perfect apart from the center front armrest latch being broken. I ended up taking the armrest apart, and finding out that the inside plastic of the top leather pad which holds the actual latch, broke apart, therefore the latch now just wobbles itself out. The entire assembly takes about a minute to remove (3 Philips screws hold the entire 2 piece armrest in place).

If anyone has an armrest with working/unbroken latches then please let me know.

Thanks so much everyone, and happy to be a new member of the community!

I saw someone advertising these for sale in one of the Y34 Facebook groups.
I'll share this discussion with them.

Awesome! Yeah if anyone has a lead then that would be greatly appreciated. I've been hunting all over the web for this so hopefully I can find one before year end lol.
