Euro tray: Price Check

[BavarianZHP]

I'm getting me one of these. If I really miss cup holders, I'll get the aftermarket ones that you can attach around the floor or doors.

Cheapest price is ECStuning at $35.21:

Is it the right one though? I always thought they all come with enclosed bottoms. Will this one work?

Thanks,

[MiniD]

In for this information too..

[BavarianZHP]

Ah damn, scrolled down a bit further and I think this is the one I need. I'm not sure why the first one I listed doesn't have a bottom...

$50.

How did you come up with your part number?

[BavarianZHP]

Didn't come up with a part number. I simply filtered results to a 2003 E46 sedan.

Seems like the first one is $15 cheaper since it doesn't have a bottom and is used for "For vehicles with car phone and cordless receiver."

Anyone know if this would still fit? The opening wouldn't really affect anything since there's a plastic bottom anyways:

It probably would actually give me more space... Hmmm.

thebmwpartstore.com has it for $1.50 cheaper. Savings!

They do have cheaper shipping, usually. And faster.

They seem to take longer to ship their products though. In my limited experience.

Weird. I haven't used either enough to say for sure, so my experience is limited as well. Not much a difference, though. I just like to help the less established joints to encourage competition.

[Lanister]

For sure, that makes a difference but isn't getbmwparts.com is just another bmw dealer?

I think so. So is Tischer.

[BavarianZHP]

I'm seriously considering the tray without the bottom - seems to allow for much more room and at $31 it's much cheaper. The only thing holding me back is the worry it won't fit...

Tischer is getBMWparts

I wouldn't do it. I think it's meant to host a cell phone charger that clips inside. Just google the part number for pictures. Personally, I have the short eurotray because I find that the coin holder is very handy. I hate hearing change rattle when I drive.

yep. As I've said elsewhere, BMW of Fairfax, VA has one price shipping $9 and usually get's it out fast if it is in stock. YOu can chat/IM them to verify.

ECS is good, but I have seen delays there as well.

Don't go with phone version. It will not look right. It will fit however if you are committed to that option.

In terms of price, call your local dealer. They will likely price match. You'll have to pay sales tax but in most cases, it will not exceed the shipping charges you avoided. Most things I order are ready for pickup same day or following morning.
