No joy, and to be honest, I have no clue how you did it. Was this on an E9X? I assume it was, but on my E90, all four cup mount-points are 'countersunk' beneath the undercarriage protector (the felt-covered thing), and right next to the under-door body panel. There's absolutely no way to get a screwdriver at better than a 45-degree angle into where the cup meets the mount point because of this. The gap to the side is too small to even fit a right-angle tool (I was going to maybe try to use a right-angle trim tool) with any leverage.

In short, I can't see how it can be done without removing the undercarriage piece (which I'm not even sure is possibly, it looks riveted on).
