    Cup Holder insert for Euro Console Tray

    If you have access to a 3D printer, free here:

    For those folks with the Euro Center Console Tray but still want a cup holder in your E46, this insert will fit nicely inside and will be hidden with the sliding door closed. Friction fit but you can also use double sided tape for a more secure fit. I'm currently using this in the "small" Euro tray. Print in ABS or PETG for better high temperature tolerance. No supports required.

    Yes, I know. Sort of defeats the purposes of switching to the Euro Tray. I like the clean look of the Euro Tray but like the functionality of the cupholder from time to time. Best of both worlds now. Opening is 68mm, fits a soda can.

        What it should have been honestly. Wanted this forever. Now if someone can retrofit the spring fit tabs that hold the drink that would be awesome.

                Awesome! I loved the clean look of the euro tray but hard to drive a manual and hold a drink.

                  That is such a BMW owner thing to do. Did you also delete the turn signals? Hahahaha

                        If there is enough demand, I can print a batch.

                            I’m in for a painted one as well. Please PM me the details for purchase when the batch is ready.

                              Whatever the magic coating is that you've designed for trim parts, can/would that work for this product also?
