Have a 2012 with the 2 Lilliputian drink wells in the console. Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy the upgraded cupholder trim that started with the 2013. Part number is 51169811186K.


Thanks much.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

anyone know if the shifter trim ring one this new one is the same as the old one? i've got a '11 automatic (although i guess same part for standard & autos?) and my shifter trim ring is gray. i'd consider this upgrade, but i like the trim ring to match the others in the dash as is is....

thanks

 

You can still use your original one

 

So the rear looks to be far less plastic but, cost twice as much?
Things that make you go hmmmm....

 

It probably isn't much less plastic (if any) and it's more pieces, including a metal bracket.

 

Currently driving a 2014 Countryman loaner car while our 2012 is in for warrantly service. This one has the upgraded cupholders and they are WONDERFUL. Just ordered ours (for our 2012) from Sewell and did get the NAM discount - sweet.

We don't get too many rear seat passengers but if you do, I would suggest adding the rear cupholders. They are very well made and even though they are just about $100 with the NAM discount at Sewell, they would be well worth it, in my humble opinion.

Good luck.
