I bought this from Japan and it sits where the ashtray usually goes.
It is stabilised with sticky tape and velcro.
I believe they do a version for non smoking package cars also.

Isn't there 2 cup holders under the arm rest?
They annoy me as you then have to drive with the arm rest up!
I occasionally use my nespresso travel mug and it fits between the seat and door quite nicely.

Just a thought, but you could always upgrade to an E85 or E86 with cup-holders!
Coupes because stunning!

Does it actually sit in the ashtray? if so do you need to remove the lid or just have it open?
Thanks

Bit drastic. Think I can do without the cup holders if that is the solution

So it's actually not too bad getting to the buttons, but yes I do have a smart top module fitted.Dr-Jon wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:20 pmlooking at that you must have a smart top getting to the buttons for the roof would be a nightmare....... having said that its a bloody good idea....um put my thinking hat back on'tripleparanoia wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 6:43 am https://i.imgur.com/SF97qdL.jpg

It sits where ashtray used to be, so the lid needs to be open and ashtray removed.
Having said that, it isn't the most stable fitting.
It certainly needs the Velcro on both sides to keep everything in place without wobble.

I regularly found myself holding hot drinks between my legs at the drive through!.
Went to BMW and bought the £120 quid arm rest twin cup holder replacement, done.
Expensive cup holders but its what I wanted.
