I cut off the silver part with a Dremmel and used the factory mount, with a self tapping screw to attach it to the remaining portion.

The official name for this part is a "front can holder". I'm trying to find a cylindrical object the size of a pop can which I can cut off at a bevel to which the phone holder can be attached. Wood dowels don't usually come this big. Any thoughts? |

The first view is from the top (skew is visible on the cap) The second view is from the side where you can see the cap on the right and the other end is open. If you were a plumber could set another PVC pipe into the larger open end. Notice the PVC pipe is an end part so the cap can fit on it. PS The wrap is for aesthetics

Yes, I think it is like lumber measurements. Actual is 2 1/2" but buy at 3"
I just 3M spray glued some black shelf mat. I'd measure the BMW cup holder and go off from there

my solution
I finally got around to do some shopping today. I picked up a phone holder for $3 the material of which perfectly matches the cupholder trim. Then I went hunting for a tin of some type that would fit into the cupholder and offer a nice surface for the phone holder suction to be applied. It took about 2 hours but I found one containing "decorating sugar" ($4) that worked well.

PVC pipe and end cap is same concept
and they come in various lengths so you don't have to do any cutting. Just glue the end cap on and go

Good find, but only works with a phone.
My pipe, as shown earlier, works with GPS or Phone IAC, try Amazon for a reduced price on your phone holder http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Car-Hol.../dp/B00NL7GTXG Or even this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...f_rd_i=desktop
