Question Cup Holder Inserts

This is probably the most ridiculous question. Did anyone get those cup holder inserts with their 2 Series? You know, those ones that reviewers made fun of?

My (Canadian-spec) 2014 M235i didn't come with them. I kind of wanted them, since I don't eat in the car, so I thought the extra trim might look better. I emailed my dealer, and they said none of their cars (they only had one 2 Series apart from mine) didn't come with them.

Thanks for your help. I've attached a photo of what these inserts look like.

I have a US 235 and mine came with both of them. I put them in the glove box as soon as the car was delivered to me and haven't looked at them since.

My M235i came with the inserts as well. The inserts are currently sitting on a shelf, somewhere in my garage.

I just picked my new M235i up on Wednesday and I don't have any either so it may be a Canadian thing. That being said, I do remember seeing them in the one that they had in the show room. Dam, that's gonna bother me now. I'm going to have to call my salesman and see what he has to say about it.

I got em in mine and they stay installed. Kind of discourages folks from trying to bring drinks in my car.

If anyone in the States feels like getting rid of theirs, I'm happy to cover shipping and a bit extra. Just let me know.

@pikcachu $100 might be a bit steep.

It's weird that you guys in Canada didn't get the cup holder inserts. However with that being said, the first thing I did after I had taken the delivery was removing them out and leaving them in my garage.

Yes, they are that useless and should be made fun off.

Your dealer should be able to order these for you.

I believe the BMW part numbers are 51169257209 and 51169257210

Mine came with them... and like MANY other people they were removed almost instantly (in fact they were removed before the little tag that talks about the passenger side airbag that is hung from the glove box on US cars).

Mine were removed right away. There's a spot near the battery that almost fits one perfectly..
