Top 5 BMW E36 Interior Upgrades Every Owner Should Have
Share
Intro:
The BMW E36 has aged like fine wine — but its interior can feel a bit tired by modern standards. Whether you’re building a clean daily, a show car, or a weekend canyon carver, smart interior upgrades can bring comfort, functionality, and an OEM+ feel back to your cabin.
Here are 5 of the best interior upgrades for your BMW E36 — trusted by enthusiasts worldwide.
1️⃣ Custom Phone Mount — Perfect Fit, No Drilling
Let’s face it — factory BMWs from the 90s weren’t designed with smartphones in mind. A secure phone mount is essential in today’s world.
Our BMW E36 Phone Mount fits perfectly in the center console trim — no drilling, no glue — and holds your phone securely even on spirited drives. It keeps the dash clean and OEM-looking, unlike universal clip-on junk.
2️⃣ E36 Front Cup Holder — Finally, Practical Storage
Tired of balancing coffee or water bottles on the passenger seat? BMW famously skipped cup holders in many markets.
Our E36 Front Cup Holder replaces the useless OEM coin tray with dual 72mm cup openings — perfect for bottles, cans, or takeaway cups. It even includes a small adapter for Red Bull cans or espresso cups.
OEM texture, factory fit — looks like it came from BMW.
3️⃣ Carbon Fiber Handbrake Lever — Subtle Style, Better Grip
A simple but transformative touch — replacing the tired rubber e-brake handle with a sleek carbon fiber handbrake lever.
This piece adds visual interest and a more tactile feel every time you pull the handbrake. Designed to match OEM ergonomics perfectly.

4️⃣ Carbon Fiber Sunroof Motor Cover — Clean Up the Headliner
One of the most common aged parts in E36 interiors is the sunroof motor cover — they warp, sag, or fall apart.
Our Carbon Fiber Sunroof Motor Cover offers a durable, lightweight, and stylish replacement — matches your headliner perfectly while adding a subtle motorsport vibe.

Great for long drives or keeping the interior practical when carrying friends or family.
