Rear Door Bin Breaking - How Do You Guys Manage?

[Evoking]

So I'm a new owner of a 97 M3 Sedan and am in the process of tidy'ing up a few things i.e. the rear door bins are both broken likely from someone kicking them when exiting.

1) I'm trying to find just that piece rather than the entire shell - anyone know where I might find?

2) Do they keep breaking? If so, what are you guys doing to prevent?

You can go on realoem and search for them. I can't remember what category they are under.

Both mine have a couple broken tabs on them. The cheapest I can find new ones for is about 65 bucks a piece. I'm thinking of just removing them and calling it a day, as it's not worth that price for me to replace them.

Kids in my M3 sedans backseat have broken enough of those rear door bin support pins that I've given up on replacing same. The front door bins are sufficient for my purposes and have yet to be similarly damaged.

Perhaps if one can live with stretching the cargo net BMW attached to the front bucket seat backs, suggest transfer missing bin storage there.

I'd just remove them. Mine are broken too. I hate stuff rolling around in there anyway. The pockets are a stupid afterthought, earlier e36s don't have them

You're joking right? The storage bins are a great place for your girlfriend to stuff all of her trash so you can find it a few days later :shifty

I wonder if the euro cars have door pockets or if they are a US thing, like our retarded cupholders
