BMW E30 Center Console Cup Holder with Hidden Storage - Initial assembly after receiving the product
When you receive your BMW E30 cupholder from us, it won't be fully assembled. We ship this product in two pieces so that we can use a smaller box and reduce shipping costs for you (otherwise, shipping would cost about double).
Assembly takes less than a minute.
First, confirm you received two parts:
- The cupholder body with insert.
- The cupholder base and sliding door assembly.
Next, you need to slide the base and sliding door assembly onto the cupholder body:
- Flip the cupholder body upside down.
- Align the guide rails of the base with the cup holder body.
Slide the base all the way to the front of the cupholder, and push past the resistance at the end of the track until you hear and feel a click.
This is what it looks like when it is locked in place:
This last step is optional, but recommended.
Using a small screwdriver or your weapon of choice, push the two rear locking tabs in. When these tabs are bent down, they prevent the base from sliding backward.
Note: This is only possible on a "Standard" center console style cupholder, not on "Cassette" center console styles.
Congratulations, you're all done, and you've saved extra shipping costs! We hope you enjoy your cupholder.
The Process
-
Concept & Quote
- Fill in the form below to book a call with Lars or kick things off over email.
- We will spend some time to understand your product/system and develop an overall concept for the model.
- You will review the overall concept and provide feedback.
- We will issue you a quote based on the overall concept and your expectations for the model. Our quotes detail the payment terms and delivery timeline for your model(s).
-
Design & Fabrication
- Upon your signed approval of the quote, we will begin the design work. It is best for us, from a time standpoint and for you, from a cost standpoint, if you come to us with CAD data to work from. We will still need to work heavily on your CAD data to turn it into a printable model, but it saves us time rather than creating everything from scratch.
- We will share the design progress with you from start to finish. Obtaining your final approval of the designs is required before fabrication begins.
- Model fabrication will begin, and we will share updates with you throughout the process.
-
Delivery
- We pack up and ship your model(s) to you. We will send you photos and get your final thumbs-up before shipping.
- The model(s) are delivered to your doorstep.
