When I bought my e91 it had no front console cigarette lighter which meant I had to use an after market accessory plugged into the armrest socket. The unit was then wedged between the console and the passenger seat. Less than ideal. This plate fits in the ashtray hole and has a cut-out to accept an after market twin socket adapter which can be commonly found online or in value stores. I desinged this in sketchup and have included the SKP file in case anyone would like to remix it. Happy Printing Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and verify secure retention and unobstructed operation.
