I am not a fan of the cupholders in my 2015 E550 Cab. I thought I noticed a photo of a European car with a wood cover over the cupholder area. Anyone know if that is something that is available either here or in Europe?

Thanks

I am also interested in this. The cup holders are very ugly, and the European version has the slide cover in this place.

Totally agree. Also interested

Agree!!! Anyone know of a European supplier who would sell this item?

2015 is stick shift so they moved them to where your gear lever is.

This site has a picture and also a price for the black finish option - https://www.lllparts.co.uk/en/interi...er-a2076805250

The US option is like this I believe -

I see.

I don't see why it can't be changed. it should just bolt in.

Worst case a new Centre console carcass will be needed

Yep, will need the centre arm rest dismantling at a guess and then just be a swappable part. There are various trim types, so you would need the right part number.

Definitely would look nicer in some trim types. Never been a great fan of fake wood styles so that would be my one exception, but thats just personal.

I wanted Piano black in mine. but atleast its Ash black wood. looks less dated IMHO

That part seems to be just the Cupholder self (which we already have). It also seems that the EU version have the positions of the cupholders and ashtray arranged differently. It would be nice to get a Parts Blow up with Part numbers, like in a parts catalog.

I'd love to have this in my E400 as well. I hate the open cupholders (I don't generally allow drinks in my car, so they're rarely used) and I have no use for the ashtray/lighter. I'd actually prefer to convert both of these spaces to covered storage bins for sunglasses, phone, etc.

I found a picture of what the center console looks like when fully open. This is what we need here in the USA

Mr. Toad

Definitely!
