Why didn't you just buy the BMW part that does this?

which bmw part, and does what?

The cupholder tray. Which does the same thing as the part that he designed and installed.

i didnt design or install anything, the guy who done this with the pics has the cupholders already and has made something that lays on top of it!

Then why are you asking if my question was directed to him and not to you.

To X5 Meister & Donone69:
 

First: I am a female. :slap:

Second: What is the part number for BMW cup holder tray, I can't find it. :dunno:

Third: Yes, I have the cupholders (and don't want to lose them) but I hardly ever take my big gulp for a ride :rolleyes:.

Fourth: Stay tuned for my next very functional custom mod. Your gonna love it and just in time for summer. :genius:

My apologies that you are a female. Wait, that didn't come out right. Oh you know what I mean! But just to be safe you'll need to post a picture.

Here is the part. Apparently it came standard with some early X5's. It's called "Floor mat velours" (which makes no sense to me) P/N 51168408030. It's #16 on REALOEM and it retails for $13.60.

It's a hard piece of plastic and the funny shape is so that you can lift it out easier. I use it all the time.

The one custom mod that I am most interested in is a lock for the center armrest storage areas. THAT would be awesome.

i wouldn't worry about having locks on that or the glove box! if someone breaks in to yr car they will only use a crow bar or something to false it open and then it will all be damaged,
