this might be a silly mod but i don't smoke so i keep Small change in my front ash tray but their was not so much room so i pulled out the two Pisces on ether side one is to put a cig in and the other looks like u put a coin in it
but wear gloves when pulling them out cos i cut my finger
also if you give a smoker a lift just pull out the rear ash tray job done

I did the same thing to my ashtray a few years ago, it's the best place to store change.

There is an actual coin tray available from the dealers, it replaces the ashtray, looks nice and neat!

are you gonna make me go and dig it out of one of my many 325iSport spares boxes? ( I can see the answer to this being "yes")
