Docile 64 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) ok so last night i had the munchies for mc deez... went through drive through.. and ordered a large boss combo . when i picked up my drink i remembered i had no cup holder (was so used with the ever faithful honda).. so i just placed my drink between my legs with one hand trying to hold it. and then the inevitable happens. my drink spilled all over my driver side carpet and onto my 200 dollar shoes !! i just finished shampooing my carpet now which took me an hour or so .. so the question is. is there any decent cup holders out there that would be of good standard and would be practical. i.e. on trademe there is one that you need to have your windows rolled down Edited October 8, 2006 by Docile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) my mums Facelift E36 has 2 cupholders in the centre console. Maybe you want to look into getting a facelift centreconsole. Fits both large mc'd's and wendys drinks. Edited October 8, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MADBMA 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 Saw a cupholder go on trademe for over 80 bucks about a week ago one that sits in your console bit, anyways heres mine, pickd it up from the warehouse for under 10 bucks, works a charm holds everything and its adjustable, photos dont look the best as taken at night.

Looks like it works, but did you have to screw them into the center console/dash? If so a cupholder isn't worth that kind of permanent damage to my interior!

MADBMA 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 heres mine . works well thats what i saw on trademe go for over 80 bucks, you got the part number up above Docile: The E36 center console cup holder part # is 82279404572.Picture attached. go to the BMW dealership and get them to order it in, but youll be looking at a steep price for a cup holder, failing that keep an eye out on trade me, but even then 80 bucks was steep for a cup holder, and alot of people were bidding on it: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-71784938.htm mine was screwed into the dash, so leaves some nasty holes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
