There ought to be a better use for the ashtray slot for non-smokers. I miss the coin holder my wife has in her 3 Series.

Any suggestions?

I just use black 35 mm film cassetts or carriers for coins and keep them in either the door or the top tray in the center console. This works fine for me.

If some velcro was attached, you could find some really conveniet lower dash location within arms reach.
