Insert for storage tray
BMW does make a storage tray insert for the smokers tray we all get with our cars. The part number is 51-16-9-213-657, with a list price of $14.30... I paid $7.32 with my car club discount.
To remove the smoker tray, insert your fingers into the two opposite notches and pull straight up and out. If you want the advantage of having the light illuminate the tray at night, you will need to drill a small hole on the side of the new storage tray. BMW did not make a proivision for this in the tray, you will see that the smoker tray one has it on the long side closest to the shifter. All you need to do is to line up the center of the clear diffuser on the smoker tray, and drill a 3/16" (or so) hole at that same location.
The Key/Remote will fit on its side in the new tray, but will not fit flat.
The other item I bought was an additional "stopper" for the 12 volt supply in order to use on the 12 volt source under the glovebox. Can't imagine anything getting up in there, but thought it best to keep the dust and crud out of there when I do need to use it.
