Rear Seat Cup Holder Retrofit Question
I was looking for a solution so the kids can hold their water bottles in back instead of using the front cup holders.
In the US the rear seats do not have the rear seat arm rest with cup holders, but I did find this... For whatever reason in the US this is only available on the convertible and the oddments tray is a different part number. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=52_4125 Can anyone with a 2 series convertible confirm if the cup holder will friction fit in the non-convertible oddments tray or if it instead clips in and I will need to buy that part too? |

I don't think anyone has had any luck getting that cup holder insert to work in the coupe unfortunately. Here is a thread on it.......

It's a convertible only option. The cup holders are removable and snap into a tray similar to the one in the coupes. The trays in the coupe and convertible are different but as far as I know, no one has tried swapping out the tray as it requires you to remove the lower part of the back seat to reach the latches on the bottom which clip the tray into place. I'm not sure if the coupe and convertible trays are the same size and if they use the same latching points, but it could be worth the try unless someone has noticed an obviously different size between the two.

Bottom line: too big of a bother.

They are vert only and not US. Try one of the online places or call IND they can help you track down non US part numbers

I have the part numbers. Seem as if there is a question from the 2 series guys if the vert oddment tray will fit cleanly in the coupe so that the cup insert can be used.

That's true I have a vert and it came with both. What I was trying to say is I think the cup holder is available most of ROW in coupe so should be able to source one with a little digging.
