I don't know what the non-idrive cupholder looks like, but do you have this cupholder on the side? It was already in my car when I bought it used. It's a 2009. It matches the interior. I found what appears to be it on ECS' website.
Is this the iDrive cupholder that you're talking about? I'm guessing that is what you mean by cut in to the console, since it says it requires modification.
