Coin keeper for center console?

TizSuperrQ · 05-08-2018, 06:38 PM

This is probably a strange request but has anyone has any recommendations on a coin dispenser or coin keeper for an M4?

On my e92 m3 one was built in the middle console which made keeping coins very convenient.

I guess Bmw thought m4 drivers didn't need coins for some reason and took it out

:

Thanks

Just throw the coins out the window

Or to maturely respond to the OP . . .

I keep coins in the cubby that's forward of the cup holders. They're secure there, don't move around, and are covered . . . and there's not much other use for that space anyway!

My wife gave me a small red Michael Kors coin purse to keep in the console. It matches my interior accents and I feel hawt when I pull it out

Yea that's where it is currently, but I can hear them moving around

I personally hate those dispensers. I just use one of these:

This might be the best option..

Amazon does sell hard plastic coin dispensers but then it would need to be fitted somewhere..

That's why I use these. The hard/molded ones take up too much space. This is small and still holds up to about $15 in quarters.

OP, I would consider your request more of an outlier than strange. The coin purse making someone "Hawt", mentioned above, is strange.

Consider going to Amazon, Wal * Mart, or where ever and pick up a spring loaded coin holder, then go get yourself some 3M VHB. Pick the right size for where you want to place it. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I don't have anything useful to offer in terms of a solution, but I keep waiting for a millennial to chime in and ask what a "coin" is.

That's where I shove my sunglasses lol.

OP, I keep them in one of those 50pk gum plastic bottles by Mentos in the driver door panel pocket.

RocketBoots · 05-09-2018, 12:57 PM

If you don't have driver's assist, there's a small glove box type compartment to the left of the steering wheel that could serve that purpose nicely.

although the coin purse is real.

I'm struggling to find a use case for coins in my car... I have gone 8+ years without coins.

There is this product that Aliexpress sells. Perhaps ebay...

dongerkim · 05-10-2018, 07:23 AM

who really keeps their phone and keys like that in their compartment lol.

I have a small coin patch. Coins are annoying but what’s more annoying is not having coins when you need it. It’ll be very regional but here in Europe, it’s very hard to avoid coins (especially when the biggest coin is roughly 10x the value of the US biggest coin lol).

I keep my radar detector there but I have no coins in the car. Rarely used parking meters in my area and when I do they have CC payment machines....
