Overview

Give your BMW E46 interior a clean, factory-style upgrade that adds discreet charging and useful storage—all while retaining the stock ashtray lid for a true OEM+ look. Whether you want dual 65W USB-C fast charging, a volt meter, or just extra storage space, this modular system integrates seamlessly without altering your car’s design.

Perfect for E46 M3 owners who can’t use the standard Rendition USB modules beside the DSC button. This kit offers a practical, OEM-inspired alternative without blocking or cluttering your center console.

This is the 3rd generation design (September 2025 update), refined for durability, fitment, and expanded functionality.

✅ OEM+ finish that retains the original ashtray lid
✅ Fast charging with USB-C 65W single port or dual USB-C 65W ports (130W combined)
✅ Optional voltmeter module for real-time battery and alternator monitoring
✅ Space-optimized tray option for extra storage if charging isn’t needed
✅ Constructed from carbon fiber-infused polymer for strength, UV resistance, and OEM texture
✅ Designed and tested on multiple E46 models including M3

Fit perfectly into my ashtray

I bought one because I don’t smoke and I figured that space where the ashtray goes would be better suited for storage. It makes the most use of the open space that’s there. It has a little hole in the side for lathe car’s LED light to shine through. At first I thought that’d be a bad thing for stuff to fall though, but when I thought about it; what stuff could someone possibly have that’s small enough to fit through that hole? I don’t have anything that small. That tray is perfect for storing cords or money. I’m glad I bought it.

Reading this review made me realize only BMW nerds like us will care about weather the ashtray space is utilize or not we designed it to let the OEM light thru so it illuminates the object within the box! A really nice touch imo!

Simple clean ashtray delete

Close to what the oem version would look like without the cigarette holder. But very clean and smooth instead. Great product, great price. For this it’s hardly visible that it was printed.

We truly put a lot of effort into making the product still affordable for such a niche market while still looking great! Thanks for your kind words we really appreciate it!
