Replaces the E36 rear ashtray with a proper cup holder — for cars with the centre armrest.
The rear ashtray at the back of the E36 centre console is space nobody uses for its original job. Rendition’s V5 E36 rear cup holder replaces it with a cup holder that front and rear passengers can both reach, and it keeps the factory look of the console.
The 72 mm opening takes bottles, coffee cups and tumblers, with flexible cut-outs for oversized containers. Two 12 mm holes in the top hold pens, straws or a small screwdriver.
Armrest-equipped cars only. This version is made for E36s with the factory centre armrest — Rendition list Sedan, Coupe and Touring. Check your console before ordering.
Designed and manufactured by Rendition Design & Manufacturing in Taiwan. EuroSpec holds Australian stock on the Gold Coast.
