I also bought upholders like that from ebay :thumbs: did you buy the extended one that goes all the way back or does it stop after the 2nd cup holder?

it stops, but i had the old key holder tray that i cut perfectly to fit it in the space. so have cup holders and a place to drop my keys or small junk did not want the coin holder thing.

cool can you post a pic of that please? I still need to do something there :thumbs: don't really want to cut my original one :fencelook:

Looks decent :thumbs:

Does the E46 not come with cupholders at all, or was it an optional extra?

yeah prity much you get two versions 3 compartments or one that slides closed like that with a pen holder. but you have to replace the whole unit at the 1st compartment does not come out i cut that in half as a i had a spare and made the last bit to fit with the cup holders

 

[MariusH]

you did a good job there looks nice :thumbs: I don't want to cut my original I think I will try and get a second-hand one somewhere and cut that :fencelook:

That's not a bad price for decent cup holders :thumbs:

Yes. The E39 has the most useless cup holders ever thought of, and the tiny unit costs around R800.00 on eBay to replace, never mind the dealers price.
:flyfun:

I use mine. Just make sure you don't get McD's supersize and try squeeze it in there :fencelook:


I see my rear cupholders were replaced by the previous owner. Now it's just a dust-collecting compartment.

 

[RAArmstrong]

Mine doesnt actually have rear cupholders which is just fine, one less thing for any passengers in the rear to screw up :fencelook:

 

[AlexYannoulatos]

Anyone know if these parts are available for an E36??From where and approximately how much?
