I suppose it just comes down to preference. I don't want to have to retrieve and install a different console piece as often as I'd need to, regardless of how simple the swap is. I intend to find a...

...just so you guys know where I'm coming from- I use my cupholder(s) every day since I'm drinking something on the way to work, and often a drink from lunch (varying sizes), and regularly use a...

Great post man. Thx for breaking it down for me. Interchanging the short euro tray with the USDM cupholders seems pretty simple, but not simple enough to just throw in when I happen to know I'll be...

Hmm, maybe I'm being dense here.

This is the euro tray that was linked, so I'm assuming it's the one everyone's talking about:

And this is...

Are you talking about using OEM parts to accomplish this? The stock cupholder insert can insert into the euro tray?





Thx gents, good info.

Interesting stuffs. I'm thinking just going Euro tray is my best bet. I'd probably fab something to go into it as a cupholder. I used to do car stereos back in the day...like way back when you had to...

Thx for the cupholder input...does anyone have experience with the Euro tray? It seems to be a good template to work with. I prefer to do things as "right"/permanent/factory as possible.

What is/are known/good solution(s) to the small cup-holder problem?

Thx in advance,

Will do. Thx man!

^^^ I'll be diving into all things panel removal this spring/summer...where do you buy the clips?

haha...I was pressing buttons and the car just started rolling...

I honestly don't know. It was posted on another forum by a guy who lives in Germany.

On a side note:

Can anyone point me toward instructions for Bluetooth pairing for my phone? All I can find in all the manuals is "see separate manual". Thx in advance.

Am I the only who finds some strange irony in a car with serious cooling problems and a mostly-useless temperature display?

^^^ That's fantastic. I'll have to see if it's something I can take on. Thx!

Noted. Thx man.

I've been hearing and reading a lot about the cooling system reboot, so I plan to do it soon. Will the car start running hot and I'll be able to see it on the temp gauge with at least a little notice...

Lock and unlock are great. Trunk was the only weird one. Holding every so slightly longer does the trick for me.

Equipped with your input, I studied single button presses more carefully. I had been trying a single press and quick release, or a long press and hold, neither of which worked. It would only work...

Good to know. It doesn't seem to always work.

What's the correct sequence on the key fob for trunk pop? I've tried combinations of presses and holding and it doesn't seem consistent.

Good to know...

So yeah, it's lame, indeed, that max pressures are on the door jam. I saw it and was like "dang, that's a lot", but then was like, "must be what they recommend, and I trust BMW engineers" and...
