Rear cubby hole and armrest cupholders

So today I ordered my E89 which will be ready for collection next week. I'm very pleased with the car, but it doesn't come with the extended storage pack. So inside the armrest is a rather useless phone holder and no cupholders. Any idea of this is available as an insert, of if there are any aftermarket options?

Also, the bulkhead behind the seats is just flat - no door to reveal the little shelving unit. I assume the actual metal bulkhead will have a hole in it, so maybe I could cut through the carpeted bit to fit the door and shelves? Has anyone done this? I
 
The trays in the armrest can be purchased separately.
The bulkhead can probably be done but will require quite a lot of stripping down.

Parts required are;
Front (cabin) section (floor to hoops) to include the proper opening with door.
Rear (boot) section
Tunnel section.
Shelving section.

To fit;
Seats out
All cabin rear trim panels out
All boot panels out
Roof cover panel out

Approx price of used parts about £400 (if you can find them)

I've looked into this before and it certainly is do'able but a hell of a lot of work (and expense) to undertake just for three little shelves!
 
The bulkhead shelves are trivial if you have them and not worth £5 if you don't.

The cup-holders-inside-the-centre-arm-rest are so poorly designed that using them could cause an accident. It's really surprising that there isn't a good after-market alternative.

I like the car a lot though.
