Hi Firstly thank you 

 

This is my first bmw i think it could be a great car with a a couple of mods etc etc and a bit of work doing to it car needs a bit of tlc ,,,,,, i have so many questions and a few small bits i would like to do to the car but do not know where to start i believe i have a bmw 1 series e87 116i ( sorry dont know the engine code ) i would like to add the armrest/phone holder but not a 100% sure what colour and if it is possible , would also like to upgrade the head unit ..... 

 

basically would like to modernise it any help or advice would be much appreciated i am not a petrol head so tech jargon goes straight over my head 

 

any help about anything else would be appreciated 

 

Regards

Hi Ian

Welcome to the Forum

The place to start is www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts list just put the last 7 Digits of your Vin number into the search box it will call up your Model. Then search the sections you need to look at, there are small exploded drawings that should help with how and where things fit. Find the item double click the part number and it will show a list of any alternate part numbers and models that part was used in (very useful if sourcing parts.

There are some very tidy Android head unit upgrades available which are pretty straight forward  to fit just take your time. The arm rest if you use a Vin Decoder you should be able to find the OEM trim colour then Google is your friend to find parts as you will have a part number from realoem

Good luck ENJOY your BMW
