I got em...use em to chuck at my kids when they are being ornery in the back seat! That will teach em to not put their hands on each other!

Apparently, it doesn't look like the cup hold covers come standard in Canada, but my dealership (Town&Country BMW) has been awesome in getting them for me.

Maybe try your dealer and see what they can do?

At no cost?

I am not certain about the Canadian product plan, but in the US, they are standard. If omitted, they should be replaceable at no charge. Tell the dealer to check the contents of the standard storage package 493.

Yep, no cost. Dealer was very nice about it. Especially after I mentioned this to the BMW corporate rep that called me in regards to my survey responses...

Hmmm, took delivery of my M23i here at a San Diego area dealer last week, and I did NOT have cup holder inserts at all, like our frozen neighbors to the north. I picked up the car the same day it arrive, and all kinds of little extra things were there (lockable lug nuts, tie down net in trunk, small tool kit and air compressor in trunk well, etc) but no cup holder inserts. My CA says that they are not standard, and the only 228 on the lot did not have them either. Perhaps this is a MY 2015 thing?

I have the inserts plus all the extras you mentioned on my 228i Sport Line. Mine is MY 2014. Picked up from BMW of El Cajon.

Took performance center deliver of MY 2015 M235I and they said it does not come with the cup holder inserts.

Just picked up my 2015 M235i today and was told the same thing by the dealership: no more cup holder inserts.

[CF22]

Is there a place online where they can be purchased? Do they have a part #?

Edit: Found the part #'s available at Turner Motorsport. They are: 51169257207 and 51169257208. Each costs $15, not bad.

I'll ship mine to whoever wants them. No cost, but it may take me a few weeks to get to the post office.

Have them on my car (220i), my sales rep removed the left one and put it in the glovebox when I picked it up. Think the one on the right is handy with the key holder. I have all my keys together so kinda annoying having them in my pocket

[xxxHolic]

I can confirm my 2015 M235i didn't have them and I didn't even know it was a thing until I came here lol. Honestly, not missing them on the car, but I do like they way look.

[TIMSGT]

Just picked up my 2015 M235i this weekend in San Diego, CA. No inserts. The dealer did say they could order them for me and have them shipped to me. I would prefer to have them because I believe they have a small compartment that's made for the key fob, and since I don't have comfort access I generally have my key in my hand when entering my car.

[Stoneward]

Bought mine here in Italy and they came with them. I don't really drink in the car so they stay in there full time. I think they look nice and as another poster said I like how my key fob fits into it, as well as the gate opener to the house. If I need to take one out I just place it in the plastic "storage" area in the back seat since it's only temporary.

Another update....after more research, BMWNA said they were taken out for all 2015 models and they will not replace them as a "goodwill" nor for any other reason, but suggested I could re-buy what previously was standard. They continue to be installed in Europe as standard.

I happen to think they look nice, so if anyone has them in a closet, or doesn't want them, please feel PM me.

[Guynamedsean]

I am getting carbon fiber cup holder inserts made.

[atomsapple]

Kind of a ridiculous question but can someone post a photo with them inserted and removed? From the photo in the original post, I can't tell if that is with them or not. I will be getting mine in 2 weeks and I am not sure if I should bug my dealer to get me a set when my car arrives.

The initial post with the picture is with the car inserts. You'll know whether or not you have them because you'll either be able to fit a cup in there or you won't.

When I purchased my car a few weeks ago I made sure during negotiations to mention how disappointed I was they were removed. They were kind enough to throw them in to seal the deal

[NY10]

I'm kinda bummed my car didn't come with them but oh well I figure I can maybe grt them online but I'm kinda used to not having them right now it's not such a big deal. I would just like it being theres no drinks or food allowed in my car and I'd have a good spot to put my key

I have a 2015 and I guess they rent made for a 2015

[ska///235i]

I cant give mine out free...$30 shipped if anyone need a set
