Source for cup holder clamp arms?
Anybody out there have a source for replacement cup holder clamp arms? These are the little spring loaded clamps/arms for the two cup holders in the center console between the front seats.

I know I replaced one of these a few years back but can't find where I got the replacement from, and searches of Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc. are turning up nothing. OEM parts ( 51 16 9 111 091 ) show as no longer available on all of the usual BMW parts sites, too.

My recollection is that the replacement was a simpler version than the OEM that just pushes in from the outer side of the cup holder.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

I've got 10 or 12 of these (updated version that installs from inside cup holder). It would take me a few days to dig them out, but I'll ship however many you need for $20/ea. Last I saw, the going rate was $22/ea on eBay. Feel free to let me know if interested and I'll start digging!

I'm seeing them listed as discontinued/NLA there on the OEM part, and don't see any aftermarket replacements unfortunately.

Those are the ones ... though I was hoping to not have to import them from Latvia. Just covering the holes up with electrical tape is starting to look increasingly appealing. Especially to my wallet. :-)
