In Canada there is an option called "storage compartments pkg" or the like for $200 CAD. Does this get you a rear armrest w cupholders? What else does it get you?

Should get extra few 12V outlet, storage net behind front seats I believe... At least that's the case for F20

OP got an answer from a BMW product specialist and I quote:

"Storage Compartment Package: The doors have enough room for one-liter bottles. Cup holders in the center console and the rear center armrest ensure drinks are securely stowed.
The rear-seat backrests can be folded down in a 40:20:40 split for the transportation of larger and bulkier objects. And the storage compartment package enhances the BMW 2 Series Coupé with helpful details like a floor net, bag holders and lashing eyes in the luggage compartment. This ensures safety and functionality. (I just copied this from the BMW site, also there will be additional room under the floorboards in the trunk just like on the 4/3 series.)

I strongly recommend ordering this package as I can see all the features mentioned to be used often through out the ownership of your car. Especially the nets, I am sure the M235i will motivate you to disobey traffic violations and perhaps take routes/roads with the most twists and turns. (I actually specifically bought nets for my trunk for this exact purpose and they have proved to be very useful.) However rear 12v will most likely not be featured on the 2 series as that is only on the 3 series model lineup."

So there it is folks, I think this $200 CAD pkg is well worth getting (my only concern is that it may conceivably increase width of the doors slightly which may impede on foot space a bit but I'd be speculating, and this is not likely the case).

Saw the car at the Toronto Auto Show today and surprisingly the car apparently comes standard w cup-holders upfront and rear-armrest (w integrated cup-holders) in the rear. The storage pkg apparently gets u a cargo net for the trunk that can be adjusted on rails, ergo looks like no need to get this pkg after all. Cdn configurator confirms this.
