Cupholders

While someone was getting into my car they hit their knee on the passenger cupholder and snapped that bad boy straight off. I went to BMW and they said they don't manufacture my one anymore and that theres a new style with a silver flash piece in the middle. I didn't like that, nor did I like the idea of having to replace both so that they would be matching. Does anyone know where I can get the 'old' style that is all black?

Same thing happened to me. I just stuck it back in the hole and tried to forget about it. I dont like people eating or drinking in the car anyway.

Your best option might be to find someone who tore down their interior to build a dedicated track car and buy it off them

I've seen pics of it here but basically it just replaces the cupholder strip in the dash with a flat panel. I'm sure someone like Evan can get you the part number.
