Need help from someone in Germany

I need to find out if I can buy the replacement with the tray only.

I want to get rid of the cupholders in the center console.

If anyone knows or can somehow find out I would appreciate it very much.

I have ways to get from Munich.

Check with Dan @ United. He's able to get parts from GE, and he's great to work with. Really impressed with his resposiveness and effort to go the extra mile.

Looks like the cupholder piece is integral to the center console. You'd have to replace the whole center console piece, according to RealOEM.com. It's doable, but looks expensive to do.

Piece 1 is the "no cupholder model", piece 2 is the "cupholder model", and piece 3 is the "single cupholder for iDrive cars model".

You may just want to replace the ashtray with another bin, if you're simply looking for more storage.

Granted, these parts are listed for the E87 130i, but the consoles should be the same.
