Where can I find this part?

I have a 2008 E93. Looking to replace this part in the middle of the backseat. Any suggestions on where I might be able to find it?[IMG][/IMG]

i do wonder if those just disintegrate on their own over time. i had a mint e93 for a while, and it was obvious the rear seats were used very rarely. and yet the cupholders looked just like that.

As tbuck stated above, realoem.com to find part #'s, but you can't buy parts from that site, but many other reputable online sites do.

A couple of popular ones...

Yes, time and heat cycles. My E46 vert is exactly the same on all the front console parts. And it was garaged most of its life. God help you if you touch it because the outer coating would sluff off. Sadly they are not cheap and new ones will do the very same thing given time. Sucks.

I spec'd replacement for same part on my e93 before selling it. Found it with the link tbuck shared, was available at fcpeuro and BMWNorthwest online parts depot.
