Is this option standard on RS4 B7s ?

I was reading B7 Avant spec listed on PH, but having viewed the images couldn't see the arm rest.

I thought armrest was standard and it may be lifted all the way up and the angle of the shot is obscuring it as I can sort of make something out but not sure its the armrest.

Front Armrest was a no cost option when I ordered my car in Spring 2007.

+1 the front armrest was a no-cost option in the UK.

My car had no front centre armrest from factory.

thats odd ...

anyways it an absolute must for me. if my one turns up without i'll need to get one fitted (if possible)

It's a pain in the hole due to the bad design, mine is kept up all the time and I wouldn't miss it!

Same here , sits to low and just gets in the way . my 4 year old son just uses it as a step to get in the front when playing in it

I was going to get one retro fitted but all the guys on here said it was a waste of time and blocks the hand brake so I didn't bother.

Ditto!!!. After hearing that people are leaving them up out of the way or they wouldn't miss them, I shall not bother either!!!

I love the armrest, find it very comfortable. Its also a great place to keep my sunglasses and Walther PPK.

As it was a no-cost option I ticked th box, but TBH I just use it to keep charging leads and spare fuses.

I've tried to use it as an armrest a couple of times but I found that I don't have the double jointed wrists necessary to change gear when it's down plus it's impossible to put the handbrake on when it's down (and you should use the handbrake whenever a pause becomes a wait- i.e after a few seconds stationary - so you don't glare the driver behind with your brake lights, or roll back into them while your foot moves from brake to throttle).

It does seem to depend a lot of your body type. I find it perfect and wouldn't be without it(I'm tall, long limbs) but I know when others have driven the car it gets in their way.
