Wanted: Rear Ashtray Inner For E36 Compact

[SONiKz]

Hi, I have a E36 Compact and want to tidy up some of the rough bits the last owner left. I had a problem with the rear ashtray lid not staying down so pulled it apart and sorted out the mechanism. Noticed that during this that there is a little plastic fork at the bottom that flips up a little when the lid opens. I assume that there is supposed to be a plastic cup/tray that sits on top of this and I would like to replace it. Now if someone knows where I could get one it would be appreciated!

Many thanks

I don't think there is supost to be somehting 'sitting' ontop of the rear ashtray :huh: I may be wrong btu I'm sure one of our E36 homies will be able to answer that pretty quickly

Sometimes there is a little chrome like thing that pops up to hold the cigarette in place? Think it might just be that?

All your missing now is the 'sack' than you has the whole trio

The reason I thought there was something missing is that if, god forbid, someone tried to put a !Removed! out in the ashtray all the ash would drop thru a gap in the base of it and set the carpet on fire... Not really ideal as I am sure you can imagine. I will upload a photo so you can see what I've got... failing that it'll be tracking down a whole ashtray, have seen a few on fleabay.... Thanks for your help :-)

Yes, Pics are a good idea!

If your like me and woudlnt let ANYONE smoke in your motor, It shouldn't be a problem. If your not really fussy and your only really worrying about it burning the carpet, nothing a bit of strong tape wont fix ;)

Hope we've helped a tad,
