SUBJECT
Replacing Front Cup Holders

MODEL
E90, E91, E92, E93 (3 Series)

INFORMATION
A design change was made in 9/2008 to the cup holders, which includes the addition of a chrome strip on the customer-facing surface.

If the need arises to replace a cup holder on a car produced up to 9/2008, a like part should be installed as a replacement (without the chrome strip). These parts will continue to be available for some time through the BMW Parts department. However, these part numbers are no longer shown in the electronic parts catalog (EPC). These part numbers are shown below for reference.

While the cup holders for vehicles up to 9/2008 should be available for the next several months, if the cup holder you need is not in stock, only then the updated cup holders (with the chrome strip) should be used. In this case, it will be necessary to order and install both the left and right side cup holders so that the parts match.
