135i Ashtray/Storage Bin Question

[Fifty3bags]

I'm trying to find the ashtray with the closing door for the location in front of the shifter on the center console. Does anyone know if there is a storage bin with the closing door on it? All I've been able to find is the closing door with the ashtray/cigarette lighter.

These are the only two parts diagrams I've found with these parts shown:



and



The first diagram shows that part number 15, and the second diagram shows part number 19 is what I need?

**I do not have I-drive, and I have the open storage bin in my car now, according to the vin-decoder I also have poplar trim**

anyone?

The only one you can get with a storage bin is the open one.... All of the ones with the door are the "smokers package" and they have the lighter/tray in them. And the car isn't prewired for the lighter either.

Yeah, that's what I've seen. I don't want the lighter actually, just want the door that closes. I'll be cutting the interior piece apart so it doesn't really matter. I don't really want to spend $160 to cut the piece up

I found this old thread today while searching if anyone is interested in the storage bin and have the smokers package.

I guess you have to get a new middle tunel trim?

You should be able to swap the open storage space for the smokers package with the door. You might be able to adapt the two to work together. If I had the bin and wanted the door I would get the smokers package and see if the two can work together. If not, the ash space of the smokers package works fine as a small storage bin, that's what I use mine for, and you still have the accessory socket available too.

Mine came with the smokers package. If you search real OEM for a 2009 e88 the part you see in that location should be the smokers package.

I don't believe you can adapt the cover to work with the open bin, just from looking at it. Also, it seems you can only buy the smokers package (door, ashtray, cigarette lighter) together.

This is the link I meant to share earlier

I have the smoker's package with the lid. I want just an open storage spot.

Can we trade?
