The driver-side (left) cupholder is a separate unit and is not interchangeable. Available in Black and Beige to match your interior trim.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy This Part Breaks — and Why Every E90 Owner Knows It\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAsk any E90 owner what breaks first on the interior and the answer is always the same: the cupholders. BMW mounted them in the center dashboard with a spring-loaded retractable arm that pops out when you press the chrome button. The design looks elegant, but the internal mechanism is made from thin plastic guides and a lightweight spring that were never built for the force of pulling a full water bottle out of a moving holder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe passenger side takes the worst beating. Passengers grab the cupholder to brace themselves, rest their arm on it, or yank their drink out sideways instead of straight up. After a few years the retaining arm loosens, the spring loses tension, and the cupholder starts to droop under the weight of any drink heavier than an espresso cup. Eventually the plastic tabs snap entirely, and the whole unit either hangs limply from the dashboard or falls into the footwell. This is so common on the E90\/E92 that it has become a running joke in the BMW community.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe genuine BMW replacement costs upward of $80 for what is essentially a plastic pop-out tray.
