The e89 cup holder is only for left hand drive cars. No right hand version is available as it's bracket interferes with electrics inside the tunnel. I've seen someone retrofit but you have to cut holes in the console and do a bit of fiddling to get it to fit right.Dr-Jon wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2017 5:36 pm guys do you think with a bit of fiddling this might work.

ok guys just reading some post on here, came across a post asking about removing the dash trim,
it links to this post http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1148144
so my question now is in the bottom left picture in that post, what is that hole in the metal work of the dash for???
could i maybe squeeze a 3 series cup holder in there?
what exactly is behind that?
I know it would mean cutting a hole in the trim, but the cupholder would cover any hole and look almost like it ment to be
