love this... wonder if it does fit? Looks like it should. Could be a good solution as I never use the dash holders (worst feature of the E60) and always have a damn bottle rolling around.

Hope someone else has tried these.

Looks like they'll fit. What's wrong with the dash holders? Use mine all the time...some cup styles do have a hard time fitting though I guess.

Not bad at all, I use mine also all the time and never really had a problem with any cup, can or small bottle fitting into them, but I wouldn't mind buying one of those cup holders

Neat looking thing However, the standard cup holder is not that bad after all...once you get used to it and find the right cups and bottle size to fit.

Definitely a bonus if things fit properly! However based on all the complaints I think I may refrain from using the holders! Unless it is bottles only WITH the cap on! Thing is I like cans better

The Ultimate Cupholder does not fit the E60. But, the Ultimate Cupholder II does. I have had it for about 1 year and it works great. It uses sharp "needles" to slide into the carpet rather than the metal clip. For some reason, the link to the UCII is hidden. Here it is. http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ucii.html
