Question Cup holder delete?

I almost never drink in my cars. On my current E46 M3, I removed the cup holders and installed a euro tray. It's much more useful for me and looks a ton better than the twin cup holders it replaced. I did save the cup holders and sometimes will use them on a long trip. Very easy to swap out.

Is there something similar for the M2? While searching it looks like there's a USB port between the holders, so I'd think it'd have to accommodate that.

You can get them from ecstuning, quite a cheap mod

Those used to come with the two series standard. They live in my cup holders. I'm making sure to keep mine when I turn in my lease and save them for my future M2.

So what do you put in the one on the right? will it fit your phone? The left one looks shallower than the stock one, why would you want that?

I was looking at ECS site but did not find those listed with the 2 series stuff. Can you point me to the proper page?

Thanks,

Mike

I doubt those cup holders will fit on the M2.

New cup holders are all moulded in. Kinda sucks as the older cup holder will fit in the car key.

I, for one, can not understand the motor manufacturers' obsession with these blasted cup holders. I never drink in my car.

Well, I don't drink in my car either, but that's where I carry my coffee thermos on the way to work....

M2 has the same interior as the m235, I'm not sure what you're on about

I had the same bland empty cup holder holes in my m240i and they fit in perfectly

Do you have to remove the current cup holder to put those new non-cup holder inserts in? Or do they simply go inside the cup holder as is? I'd like something to hold the iPhone in place better as my flys around in the cup holder LOL.

How do you generate these replies with my name and his name linked to the quote?

I bought #5 from the diagram (rubber pads) together with the cup holder inserts but I don't think you need them. No removal/modification needed, just plug them in

To refer to someone type "@" and then the name of the user. e.g. @'aronis (without the ' )

M2wolf This is also a non-oem option for the key-holder

Price is a bummer but it looks kinda nice

Yes M2 has the same interior, but the cup holders or so I've been told by the parts manager that the ashtray is different. Thus those cups from the M235i do not fit in the M2.

Can you pls. take some photos if you've managed to fit them on the M2 ?

I actually am confused on what the M2 centre console trim looks like

AC Schnitzer cup holder page is with M3

Still think it will work

Same here - no food or drinks in it. I had my last car for almost 4 years & 19K miles - interior smelled like leather unless I had to park it in the sun, after which it had new car smell.

Nor do I normally... but there's always someone uncouth (my daughter) who insists on eating in it... and then there's the slobber on the inside of the rear windows (not my daughter this time, I'm glad to say)
