Genuine BMW Cupholder - mounts in front of gearshift
$44.95 , found that at bavauto
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

And they do tip over. I also hate that they don't fit many common coffee travel cups, like the OXO ones my wife buys (nice cups btw).
I used to worry about breaking those dainty arms off, but now I just take the screw-that approach and cram whatever in there and replace the POS cupholder rig every so often.
Cupholders aside, I love my 540 sport 6-speed. Not in the way I'm into my E30, but the 540 is just so nice in so many ways.

Hmm, I wonder if that #18 (which doesn't even show on the list) would help?

Oh yeah, the original topic. The cupholders are one unit, replaced with just one easy-access screw iirc. Not like the E38 cupholders, where you have to remove half the universe to replace them.
The buttons, at least the red/blue temp buttons, can be ordered alone. I suspect the other buttons can be as well, perhaps in pairs where two are required (e.g. the temp buttons).
Since we're on buttons, iirc you can't order replacement buttons for the MID (the radio/OBC) as that's a pretty integrated piece. However, you can get a spare one off ebay and pull them apart and get good buttons. I did this for my E38.

The cupholders are a single unit. The buttons aren't sold individually so you have to get the entire panel w/buttons then pop them on. I was told, BMW even defaces the panel when they sell you the buttons."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

That's odd. One of the colored triangles (arrows) on one of the temp buttons fell out, and CMW replaced just the pair of temp buttons. The blue on the replacement buttons was more vivid, better looking I thought.
If Ron had to order the whole panel, I think I'd have heard about it (and paid more moolah), and I'm pretty sure he said he'd just ordered the buttons.
