Your dealer is an idiot, of course it can be removed/replaced. However, the captains chair configuration without cup holders is not an "official" BMW configuration so you, as the owner, will need to get creative if you don't want cup holders with the captain chair option. A dealer will never (well almost never) recommend a non BMW approved modification. The base X7 center console has additional parts for two different configurations - one with cup holders and one without. There is another thread in this forum that provides detail on how to do it. The only catch is that the cup holder parts may leave additional mounting holes in the carpet, which could probably be covered with a floor mat.
Thank you, thou it's about late for me now.

I'm completely new to bmw and assumed there were some parts involved in coding or something when he said it can't be removed and advised to check with a third party if one does such Things.
