BMW E36 cupholder in center console with phone tray
Center console cupholder and phone tray replacement for the BMW E36 interior.
Description
This center console insert replaces the factory ashtray in the BMW E36 interior. The unit provides dedicated beverage storage, engineered to accommodate standard 0.5-liter bottles and 0.3-liter cans securely while driving.
An integrated side tray offers additional storage space. While originally dimensioned to fit an iPhone 6 perfectly, the compartment serves as a practical holder for smaller items, keys, or coins, since modern flagship smartphones exceed these dimensions.
