R60 Bigger cup holders for 2011-2012 owners
#76
Picked up my parts today for the larger cup upgrade install.........
Center Trim Panel (51-16-9-811-185) $27.48
Shifter Trim Ring (51-16-9-810-002) $14.34
Cup Holder Rubber Disc Inserts (51-16-9-811-184) $5.69 each
Ofcourse I should of looked a bit closer before dis-assembling
Center Trim Panel, Part # (51-16-9-811-185 is for a non-nav. console....
Oh well, did a bit of house cleaning while everything was apart
I believe the correct part # for the center console with connected/Nav.
(Joy Stick) is 51-16-9-811-186, but I will confirm that with parts tomorrow..
Other than that it fit like a glove...the cup holders are noticeable larger without the spring like clips of the older style, but with new bendable rubber tabs...

By chance anyone install a center console with the connected/Nav. Joy Stick...

My parts came in this morning (thanks, Sewell!!!), and I got my new cup holders installed.
It was very easy. The only difficulty was removing the cigarette lighter plug. There's a plastic nub on the orange plug housing that sticks out pretty far. You really have to push hard to get the nub past the hole. Same problem getting it into the new console. But it eventually goes through.
The shifter trim ring is black instead of gray, but that's fine with me. Looks great!

Oh heck, gonna have to make a call and do some complaining. I ordered my cupholders before you did and mine are still listed as expected 8/2/2013.

I assume that you have the NAV option. The rest of us don't and they received a ton of the "185" parts but they only received 5 of the "186" parts for the NAV. The one time it paid off not to have the NAV option
#85
Well I should have been one of those 5!!!!!!!! I was just joshing. I make my living yelling at people and get bent out of shape. Just can't do it on weekends
#88
Thank you for everyone's continued patience!
The above is true, we received a whole batch of "185" pieces and immediately sent them back out to you guys.
When we inquired with Germany about the NAV option - "186" they only stated that their shipment was "Overdue" with a large backorder list.
Please feel free to contact us at anytime if you have any questions!!

Great mod, inexpensive and easy to install!

I believe it is lit up for a certain amount of time. I can't see how you could mess something up as the instructions did not require you to unplug the shift light itself. And to answer your second question, the new shift ring only comes on black. Not sure of MINI will offer a different color later on.

Now I just need to get the clutch changed out and it will be perfect. Ok better.

Finally had a chance to get to my dealership as my check engine light has been on since the Cape days....Didn't want to tie up a loaner for what they thought should be minimal time to do a system check and reset the engine light as other than that, it's been running awesome.....Not so simple as the cooling thermostat was throwing all the codes/faults...to a tune of 255 times.
Anyways they replaced it for the 2nd time....As I had plenty of time to kill, took a walk over to parts....and sitting waiting for me with my name stamped all over it with every bit of German as well, was my new and improved 2013 cup holders...This time the correct larger console for connected/nav. Well worth the morning wait....
New
Old one but with my Carbon Fiber Hydrographic's
I know this is the wrong thread....But these led's finally came in. Anyone know how to remove them...manual says "See Dealer"
After these 4 marker lights and I'm all LED'd out...in and out !!

I got my parts in, ordered back in mid July. Install was about 20-30 minutes. I ordered the shift ring with the chrome trim insert. It doesn't have the indents the new black shift ring has, but fits and looks great. Doesn't interfere with larger drink cups either! I'm a happy camper now. :D
