I'm gonna try to ask the parts guy to toss me some. I only need 2. Seems like a waste to buy a bag of them to just let sit there. They should be complementary IMO.

I agree, it's a silly part to break.

Your better off to buy the set of 6 because they break in pairs, or at least mine have

I just came back from the dealer and I ask
them about these replacement clamps and
they didn't know about them. Tomorrow I'm
going to call and provide the information
given. I need a few myself.

Thanks for the info.

They couldn't locate them in their parts database? Gee wiz. Was the computer down or the mouse broken?

We were there about our 530i and no real effort was made
to look it up. I remembered this thread so I decided to
wait until I gathered the information and see if they would
cough up a few.

We should setup a group buy for these suckers and part them out to each other...lol. BTW, my stealership had 1 set instock for $19. I only need 2 tabs so if there are 8, then maybe we can split it up and I'll send them out to people who need/want them. Maybe like $10 for 4 tabs or $5 for 2 tabs. Whatever you guys want to do. I'll prob pickup a set this sat.

The new tab inserts are indeed much sturdier. The original tabs only lasted about a year before 3-4 tabs were broken off. The dealer ended up replacing the entire cup holder (before the tab kit was available). That one also only lasted about a year. After that, they just replaced it using the tab kit (all 6 tabs were replaced), which are still working like a charm after 3 years.

BTW...I believed the kit only come in a set of 6 since there are only 6 tabs in the cup holder.

Just realize that it looks kind of stupid having them mismatched. Personally I liked the look of the older ones, but you can't buy those anymore since the part number is the same as for the new ones.

Ok, nvm then. I'll just replace all 6 of mine. Just wanted to help others out who may have only needed 2.
