Hi.

I have a special question to some 318ti owners, if there are any in this forum.
Or maybe you know someone who ownes an 318ti!
I drive a Euro-Spec E36 323ti Compact.
There are no proper cupholders in this car, so i want to upgrade them!

But thereīs a problem.
I checked the BMW part catalog already, but itīs listed only for US-Spec 318ti models.

This is how it looks like




and in the part catalog



part number is 82 11 1 469 074.


but in this e-bay auction it looks kinda different

eBay Motors: BMW : 3-Series (item 200241420464 end time Jul-28-08 20:20:36 PDT)


the question is, will it fit into my 323ti?
My middle console looks different, i have a middle-armrest and two separated storage places in it!
And an ash-tray behind the middel-armrest as well.
This is how it looks like




i hope someone knows a answer to this, and please donīt mind if my english isnīt that good!

my E36 has the supholder setup like you have pictured from the BMW catalog. mine in a auto tranny though. i dont think it will fit. maybe that cupholder is for auto trannys only or sedans

also, those cupholders suck too. nothing fits in them, the cupholders are too small for just about everything.

nah mine is a 5spd and I have one

I have an extra one if you want to try it.

@faded
No, yours wonīt fit into my center-console!
The Compactīs dashboard and center-console is different to the ones in a regular E36.



That could be a little tricky......i live in germany!

But it would help me a lot if you could make some pictures from your center console and the cupholders!

Iīm just wondering why the cupholders shall pretend only to the US-Spec Compact!?

Hello there, I also have this superholder that i bought from ebay, sorry for bringing this up, but are you sure that it will not fit in? I haven't try that one.
