My car has two little rubber "nubs" on either side of the niche in front of the drink holders. What are they for?

 

ok here is a picture

 

Not a clue. I pulled mine to mount a XM Sportscaster.

Percy still runs and corners well.

I dunno.

 

They're to distract you from wondering why there is a strofoam wedge with a slit in it taking up half the otherwise servicable space in the door pockets.

 

There is a little rubber cubby thing that goes in there, the nubs are to hold it in position. Here is a pic of one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bmw-mini-one-c...QQcmdZViewItem

Do not buy on Ebay though. They are ~£4 ($8US) from dealers here, so someone is trying to make a profit on Ebay.

 

Assuming you're not using your Aux jack (or USB, I guess, if you have it) and there's nothing in your cup holders or lighter slot you can insert about 6 CD jewel cases into that pocket, resting on top of the rubber nubs, and they:
-Won't fall out
-Can be inserted or removed easily
-Go in at the same angle as the top of the hole
-And present their end labels so you can read them.

Suspiciously the same # of jewel cases fit as CDs in the changer....

 

Interesting. I'll have to go dig up some CDs. Thanks!
