Silver trim for front cup holders
Hi there.
Anyone but and install this trim piece on the front cup holders? It’s a minor cosmetic enhancement made to simulate the cup holders in the 8 series. It’s an aftermarket piece that adheres right over the existing cup holders. Pics below. |

Conezz & jlapicki ,
First off, I can close the front of the console without any problems -- fits very well. As I said I got it off of eBay from seller cheya20171371. Apparently, the price has gone up several dollars, but here's the link to their current listing:https://www.ebay.com/itm/ABS-Chrome-...item342965ea6f Hope that helps!

Got around to doing this. The only change I made was the tape. The tape provided is a bit thick and I wanted the trim to lie flush without any space. I removed the tape and applied Frost King double sided window tape instead. It’s a super sticky paper thin tape. Looks great!

I just ordered from here, supposed to get here tomorrow. If it is good quality I will get their trim that covers the ugly black plastic on the sides of the center console (by where there should be a kneepad or something)

Having issues with it wanting to stay put. Anyone who used the original tape notice a space around the usb and power outlet? Also noticed that the finish leaves room for improvement.
Would be nice if one of the esteemed vendors would make a trim that’s like oem quality and fit. |

I installed the cup holder trim a couple weeks ago. I purchased it from the Amazon dealer, which I believe it listed above. In case it turned out to be trash, I wanted to return it easily.
I've been pretty happy with it. It adds a feeling of refinement and that added touch of detail you would expect directly from BMW. To answer a couple questions posted...I have not had any problems with it interfering with the lid nor have I had any problems with the trim creeping around after I installed it. I used the original 3m tape, but did tear away at a few parts that extended past the edge of the trim (Let's be honest, it's not OEM, so the tape isn't spot on) Held it down for about 30 seconds with good pressure before releasing. My one observation, is that it leaves a sliver of space between the trim piece and the rest of the center console. I can see in time crud, dirt, hair, etc. filling this space and it needing to be cleaning. But, I'm much happier with the results. Here are some pics of the trim in my car, you can be the judge. |

Saw this thread. Bought part and installed. ZERO regrets. Like said previously, it really does seem to make the interior look the way it should have been from factory.
