Rear cup holder replacement

gunnerxq · Yesterday, 03:49 PM

The one of the tabs on the rear cup holder covers broke. I can't seem to find any replacement parts or covers. The only thing that I could find is whole arm rest replacement which is absurd.

Any help would be appreciated

Are you referring to one of the locking tabs that holds one the doors closed, or one of the 4 rubber tabs for the cup holder?

BMW sells the whole arm only.
Have you tried sourcing a used arm? I found a used black on ebay for $57

One of the doors swivel tabs is broken. So once it's open you can pull one side. Most of the time it opens and still manages to stay in place.

That's what I was worried about. It's such a cheap plastic piece, they should offer replacement inserts. I'll try to glue something to it, not sure.

It'd be a perfect piece to 3D print, if only I knew how.

In fairness, you broke yours after 11 years. The cost of inventorying / tracking parts is far from free.....
