I found one cup holder at junk yard with 5 tabs out of 6.
I'll try to re glue the holder somehow and maybe reinforce the other tabs so they don't break.
Unfortunately the center console has to come out which is somewhat of a tedious task.

Easy fix. And no - the console doesn't need to come out.
Push the remaining (or broken) clips INTO the guts of the console - the original clips attached from the inside.
Then go to your favorite BMW parts supplier and buy six new clips - the new parts clip into place from the OUTSIDE.

Note - I DID actually fish out the broken ones - I HATE rattles!
