i'm confused by the concept of the key holder thingy. isn't the whole idea of having an intelligent key is to being able to not taking it out of your pocket when get in/drive the car?

i happen to love that the m2 comes with many cup holders and storage compartments, but i guess that's not helping the op...

Good to see the options that are out there. The cup holder inserts change, but don't get rid of them. They're cheap enough to give it a try. That's not quite as elegant of a solution as in my E46 with the outright replacement.

Heck, I've never even sat inside an M2. Just a few more months until my cupholders make it to South Carolina. I'm more looking forward to the car attached to them.

I guess to some (me included) like to put the key fob into a holder in the car. Sometimes mine gets lost in my deep jacket pocket...

That's certainly my mindset. The only time I take the key out of my pocket is when somebody else needs to have it - e.g., service manager, car detail guy, etc.

I only wish the fob were much smaller so it didn't hog so much room in my pocket. -scr

I'm 95% sure it's a direct fit like on mine

The ashtray is a different story, you need to pull out the bottom rubber cover with a screwdriver and then push in the ashtray

Ok. So you have to replace the ashtray ?

No! Ashtray is a complete different thing. To install the cup holders, just push them inside, nothing else.

To complete the look on the center console I decided to install the ashtray I but it's not necessary at all for the cup holders!

I can 100% confirm that they fit. I bought them. No pics but they are nice to have. They just slip in place. The shallow one is nice because you can still put stuff under it and keep it concealed.

About how much room is underneath? Enough to hide a watch or some change?

Not from the cops, at least.

But, best to take precautions against foraging animals, especially the ones which walk upright. -scr

Exactly. Same reason to hide the watch.

Is there room enough in the deep one to put an iPone 6s or similar ?
Any pic would be much appreciated.

So you are just replacing the cup holders for something like cup holders. What is the point then.

I want jus a nice deep tray there.

Has anyone ever retrofitted a flip-top ashtray lid? Mine doesn't have one but I would kind find it useful for loose change etc. I take it it would require removal of the whole damn dashboard?
