3/20/11 UPDATES:
Rough rendering of the product installed, 3/4 view, front.
New design incorporates E38 rear seat cup holder assembly part no. 51168212129
With one push in, the tray comes out, and creates two holders for beverages up to 2.5" wide.
Rear view of the installed product, with one door open.
The full concept, shown below, with RSE System installed above armrest. Ideally, with this revised design, both doors can be open as shown while the screen is in a comfortable viewing position. The doors are a key element of this design revision, and are sourced from a BMW E65/66 center armrest. They include the locks, hinges, and opening dampers that BMW small doors always have, giving the mechanism a seamless factory feel.
Next, gather proper dimensions to study the course of action needed to mill the base foam material.
Below: the bracket and center console being used to ensure direct fitment. Four long screws will hold the final product into place.
The creation of a support block from either hard foam or wood will be needed to level the surface on which the product will be mounted, and allow the long fasteners to pass through.
