My only complaint ......

F82_SID · 01-31-2011, 03:20 PM

Are you guys as disappointed and frustrated as I am with what I feel is the one despicable part of this car; that stupid pass through in the back seat with the leather insert that just falls out and the stupid plastic container that also just comes completely off?

Do you guys know what im talking about? In comparison, I loved how my 335 center folded down and cup holders popp-ed out. I still havent found cup holders in the back seat of my 2011 E92 M3 (not like I would really let anyone use them but still).

Anyway, im just venting.

Does this still happen if you don't get the cold weather package?

What does the cold weather package have to do with it? I got the heated seats but didnt need a ski bag.

Z06M3 · 01-31-2011, 03:46 PM

That's where they stuff the ski bag. My last M had cold weather and that it always came apart as you've described.

PKL · 01-31-2011, 03:50 PM

No Cold Weather here!!

F82_SID · 01-31-2011, 04:25 PM

I live in Denver so it does get cold here. I think I have used the heated seats every day since I got the car. But I would never take my M skiing so I dont get the point of buying the whole cold weather package.

RayC · 01-31-2011, 04:29 PM

I got the cold weather package. No issues here.

Got the cold weather package because I wanted heated seats and the fold-down rear seats. I don't mind the front headlight washer so I went and paid a tiny bit more for the package.

wrh3 · 01-31-2011, 04:32 PM

It was something I also thought strange when we went from a 335 to the M3.....but I got over it the first time the M3 was above 8k rpms

Mahmood07 · 01-31-2011, 04:37 PM

I used the ski hole a couple of times. I stick my snowboard in the middle when i have 3 passengers with me going skiing...but there's no excuse for the lack of armrest and cupholders in the back. Very embarrassing.

mkoesel · 01-31-2011, 05:11 PM

Been discusse before. I still want to see someone retrofit the fold down alternative from an E92 3 series.

This must be isolated to E92s...

1sikbmr · 01-31-2011, 06:11 PM

should have gotten a e90

2swift · 01-31-2011, 07:22 PM

Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing having people in the back seat and they ask what's wrong with the armrest lol.

kaykay · 01-31-2011, 07:58 PM

Money savings for sure.

Doesn't bug me.

E92 only. You can get a cupholder to fit in the passthrough/ski-bag if you want. But you're still stuck with the middle-seat/armrest/plug hanging their like a scrotum sac. Would it have really been that big a deal for BMW to put this thing on a hinge?

Cheers.

BMWBoss · 01-31-2011, 10:18 PM

Yeah I hated it too...but then again i don't care about the people in my backseat.

It comes in handy though if you ever get pulled over and have to throw anything illegal in the trunk since they need a warrant to search the trunk

Not if they if see you throwing something back there. Seriously.

Cheers.

I was trying to figure out where the hell the cupholders for the back seats

Not that anyone can drink anything in the car, I was just looking around
