BMW E36 Compact Center Console Cup Holder Insert
This center console cup holder insert is designed specifically for BMW E36 Compact models that came without usable factory cup holders.
It provides a clean, practical solution by fitting into the original console opening and adding two stable cup positions for everyday driving.
⚠️ Important fitment note (please read):
This insert is not a tight snap-in from the factory. To achieve a secure, rattle-free fit, a few layers of tape (electrical tape recommended) must be applied around the insert to fill the gap inside the OEM console opening.
This method has been tested and works reliably.
Please review product photos carefully before ordering.
