One of the dealers confirmed the cup holder part fits my DCT VIN car. But another dealer claims (I think incorrectly) that it won't fit. I asked 2 other parts dealers who haven't replied yet.
IMO, I don't see how it won't fit. The center console itself is the same part regardless of 6mt or DCT. The only reason 6mt got the cupholder is bc the 6MT boot ring is way bigger than the DCT and the front cup holders won't fit. So 6mt cars got an ashtray up front and a single cupholder behind the idrive controller.
The only consideration is that you cannot repurpose the ashtray lid for the cupholder. It'll be a permanent hole there.
What year is your car? If you have a 2014, consider also swapping out the idrive controller to the touch version since you have it apart. It won't gain touch functionality without touch ECU and coding, but the larger scroll wheel is a much more ergonomic than the older style.
