thejames Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I had the bluetooth cradle - useless. Things rattle around and fly out on "spirited" driving... Thought about the OE cup holders but read nothing but people moaning about them. When I bought my Dynavin, decided on the sliding tray instead. I've run my ipod and line-in leads into in - works beautifully. PITA to get hold of though. They're not too expensive (<£30 IIRC) from BMW, but I was waiting for over two months with no sign. Bought mine from ebay in the end. They seem quite rare though and often fetch more than they cost new! I imported two of these instead http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ They work very well, not overly expensive, hold secure, look quite cool and are kept well out the way. Very impressed. The guy who makes them seems a top chap too. Don't recall being stuck for duty either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ I have something very similar from Halfords, bought for my old Alfa Romeo. It now sits in the boot of the E46 and holds a can of deodorant spray lol Only £5, made of grey plastic so matches well if you have a grey interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly330 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Nice find thejames. I'll be ordering a set of them I think! Got plenty to order from my dealers too - I discovered that virtually all of my interior trim clips are missing. At least all the ones in the rear of the car, which I noticed fitting my coils. Sliding tray will hide my iPhone holder nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
