First off, don't even consider (even for a moment) buying the TopTrac sliding arm rest/cup holder from the dealer (e-mail me if you want more information on why I don't like mine).

For the cup holder, call Bavarian Autosport and get the one that goes right above the ash tray/lighter area. It's a piece of bent rod metal. It attaches to the mounting screws for the ashtray and holds a cup sort of in front of the fan switch. Not the best idea, but, it's the best I've found so far.

For the coin tray, get the "Oddments Tray" (P/N 72 60 1 942 786) from any BMW dealer. This tray replaces the ash tray and is an open, felt lined tray. I paid about $15 for mine from The BMW Store in OH.

I've got both of these in my '90 E-30 (325iC).

             Good luck!
                  Larry.
