Sliding arm rest
2015 //M4 DCT 59k
For the past few years my arm rest has worked great. Stayed in place, slid when I wanted it to. Ever since last week this dude slides very easy. Is there a fix for this? |

Honestly, the arm rest would need to come apart in order to determine why it slides so freely now, as compared to before.

Yes--when i installed the alcantara arm rest to replace my stock one (purely for cosmetic reasons, functionally was still working). Was surprised when the arm rest itself is basically a sealed unit. Believe you'd have to take it out of the car and to then disassemble to find if the mechanism for sliding functionality is broken. I don't even know if you can buy that part per realoem.

I am encountering the same issue with my arm rest in my ‘18 M3 Comp. I was debating to go to the alcantara option to update interior and also address the sliding issue. However it seems that the alcantara update won’t fix it.
