If you have heated seats it is a bit more work to remove the cover plate. You use the carrier for the bin from the 1 and the actual bin from the 3 series - it works. The wire harness can be eliminated or you can opt to add lighting to the bin. It costs about $25 bucks for the parts
Holy crap -- thanks for the details, but that's more than I bargained for!

Alternate question: since I have to order another car anyhow to get a manual transmission in Southern California, is there a smoker's package delete option?
