Interior storage

themyst · 02-23-2009, 01:23 AM

Ok, I know it's no secret the 135 has very little, alongside impractical interior storage. I liked the idea of throwing a bunch of papers and coins in a big center console storage bin, but on this car, its not possible. I have to stuff my sunglass case in the door storage compartment, and I would prefer other options.

Does anyone know where I can get something where I can mount a small storage area underneath my seat where I can throw all my miscellaneous stuff in instead of having it stuffed in my door storage bin?

Also if someone can link me to where I can purchase a BMW cupholder that mounts to the passenger side of the center console i'd greatly appreciate it!

This place is your friend: http://www.leatherz.com/

A couple other options:

Search on the DIY forum for a thread where somebody retrofit the factory dash storage compartment into the top of the dash. You have to cut the dash, but it is a factory item, so it looks great when done.
BMW sells a backrest storage unit. Look on the BMW Web site. I have one, and it has several pockets. If you put it on the passenger seatback, there is a pocket perfect for sunglasses right at the top.

Have Fun,
Rick

It's not great on storage I know. Have you seen the inside of the arm rest? WTF?
They took a nice sized space and killed it.
I lined my ashtray with adhesive felt and put my change in there.
I wish there was a place for my sunglasses too.
