New M3 split armrest installed

Found a brand new Oyster armrest, local on offer-up.

Did you retrofit 335is pedals into your car? Or are they just 335is style pedal covers?

I have the BMW performance pedals, shifter and brake handle.
The brake pedal is a cover and the accelerator is a whole new pedal.

This mod really does make a huge difference if you're one to lean on the armrest while driving. I did a split as well and it's one of the best interior mods I've done.

Pardon my ignorance, but can you expound on what makes the split one better?

Due to it extending out, I find it a lot more comfortable, also a lot softer then the stock armrest.

There standard on the M3.

My LCI E92 335i also came with the split armrest.

Does anybody know, which cars came with the single armrest and which cars with the split?
I tried googling the obvious like pre-LCI vs LCI and E90 vs E92, but still found both options on all of them. It's also not related to any option code I believe?

EDIT: Ok maybe USDM cars came with the single armrest (except the M3) and others with split?
