Questions about accessory folding armrest (archive)

Several months back, I have heard some people on this board mention something about an accessory folding padded armrest with storage. I have a few questions about this armrest.

1. Can the BMW cellular phone, better
cupholders or both fit in this armrest?

2. If the BMW cellular phone can fit, is installation "fast and easy with maximum reliability" like it says in the accessories guide?

3. Can you get it trimmed in the exact
same Montana leather as on the seats?

4. If you can get it trimmed in Montana leather,
can you get it in matching colors? In the case of
the 5 Series, the colors are black, grey or sand.

5. Is installation of the armrest
itself simple or complex?

6. How much does this armrest cost?

If anyone on this board knows the
answers to these questions, please
reply to this message? Thank you.

BTW, I saw a picture of a Euro E38 7 Series
with this armrest and have heard about it
on this board a few times (some have even
purchased it I think) so I know it exists.
