I just got a chrome rear cup holder ring which has mounting clip/lugs on the outer edge and there is no way it will clip into the cup holder on my 52 my as there is no slots for them to clip into. is there a bit i need to take of first althought it all looks like one peice or should i cut the lugs off??

The Chrome Rear Cup-holder Bezel won't fit to a pre 04MY console.
The console moldings are very different.
Either get yourself a post 04MY console, available as BMW spare and fit the Chrome Bezel to that....
Or get a stick on Chrome Bezel for the (smaller) pre 04MY Cup-holder.
If you cut the lugs off, the Chrome Bezel still won't fit without cutting the molded in black Bezel off the console.
Even then I think they are different diameters.

Hope this helps, though it's not good news.

ill find out how much the consol is but ill prob get a stick on one. im not that worried cos i bought a job lot of chrome private and didnt ask for the cup holder but it arrived so..

i got some harman kardon sppeder covers and some upper speeker/doorhandle surrounds aswell but they look like a dull stainless or alu but ill prob sell these ones and get some chromed ones so it all matches. do you know of a good place to get good quality/cheepish CHROMED versions that replace the oem ones. i dont really want to stick on some covers. the ones i got are complete replacments just not the right finish.

pre 2004 ish spec cars have smaller bonded in cup holder which you can get cover for

2004 models on have a detatchable one which you remove and replace with complete chrome ring.

I bought later one first by mitake for my 2003 mcs, found early cover on ebay from a guy called minichrome.

Search BMW mini chrome pulls up loads of goodies from several sellers
