front cup holders
mine are full of gunk from many drinks and spills
any easy way to clean them (do they just "pull out" somehow?) does anyone know? |

I spilt coffee in mine and forgot about it for a couple of months. I just sprayed it with all purpose cleaner and left a damp micro fibre cloth in there for a bit and it just wiped away.

There is a rubber mat insert on the bottom of the cup holders - they are flexible rubber, so you can use a pair of pliers or similar to grab it. They just clip back in once you've rinsed them down.

And for storing coins, I have a wallet. Besides, road tolls and parking are usually paid electronically now, so coins are obsolete. Personally, I could also do without the cup holders. I would prefer a sun glasses holder. |

I went for the "smokers pack" not because I smoke, but I prefer the look of the cover over the front oddments try + it was only £25.

I ordered the optional smokers pack for my scirocco to cover up the ridiculous 'hole' just for looks. I've never smoked but it looked 100xbetter. I didn't bother with the F20 but might get it later to cover up the hole which isn't as ugly as VW's effort. I agree re. the lack of sunglasses storage. In fact the storage options on a 1er are non-existent! Bmw really are as tight as a gnat's chuff sometimes.....

1. Armrest 2. Doors (they are like 3 seperate areas, I store there two glass cases, my keys, napkins) 3. Small box left (for LHD cars) of the steering wheel 4. Cupholders 5. Storage in front of the cupholders (where the ashtray is) Right, the 12V socket is standard.

What about the"illuminated ring"? Mine doesn't appear to illuminate, just clear plastic reflecting the under-aircon-controls downward illumination?

I too would like a sun glasses holder but I can live with that under the arm rest. |

Mine does not illuminate either. Just a peice of clear plastic. I do not know if it illuminates when you have ordered the smokers pack.

On the M sport pack I have an LED there that along with the rest of the LED interior ambient lights I can switch between orange and white.
