BMW E46 Rear Cup Holder — Ashtray Replacement

Factory fit. Real usability. Built by Inertia Werks.

BMW E46 Rear Cup Holder — Product Overview

This BMW E46 rear cup holder is designed as a premium replacement for the factory rear ashtray in 1998–2006 BMW 3 Series E46 models, including the E46 M3. Unlike flimsy universal cup holders, this part is custom-designed to integrate cleanly into the rear center console with an OEM-like fit and finish.

Manufactured from carbon fiber infused PETG (PETG-CF), this E46 cup holder is built to withstand high cabin temperatures, UV exposure, and everyday use without warping, cracking, or deforming. It is a practical interior upgrade for daily drivers, enthusiasts, and restorations alike.
