OEM Cupholders Install

After a lot of searching I discovered that ONLY FOR THE US MARKET, BMW offers door cup holders. Immediately I went through and ordered through Tischer BMW, because my local dealership was not able to bring such items in my country! They simply said these items are not designated for the European market, hence we cannot bring them.

The cupholders arrived promptly and well packed in 2 separate boxes. they also came with adaptors to allow larger/smaller drinks to fit nicely. Not much to be said about installation, you only need a solid door pocket and the cup holder will secure in place with 3 hand tight screws as seen in the pictures below.
