Do you have a phone cradle taking up valuable space in your center console?
Could you use the extra space for something more useful?
Then rip out the phone cradle and plug the gap with a "center arm rest storage insert tray" from Latvia

Pic 1 - Center arm rest storage tray
Pic 2 - Console with phone cradle removed (note the holes that coins and stuff can fall into)
Pic 3 - Installation
Pic 4 - Done
Hey Socket. How did you remove the phone cradle? My Bentley Service Manual doesn't give that information.

I think these ones will fit sock. They are the same for e9X genuine M3 or not from what I have researched

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142178129373

We could also approach flow design for non carbon fibre ones. Think they made some for 1 series and selling for $375
