Went to Taco Bell - a large coke (ok they sell pepsi,but whatever) -fit in the cup holders and seemed tiight, but I drove with one hand on the steering wheel, one hand to shift, and one hand on the coke. Need to get smalls or I see pop all over my interior.

No Problem!
Euro Car --Euro Cup (This one's from Sweden)
Now just get rid of all your cups and replace with these.
It might be easier than getting BMW to make a holder that meets U.S. specs

The phrase "pop" is a Midwestern US thing ... "soda" is from the Northeast ... and down South they just say "coke."

Ive found in the UK that they hold a mcdonalds coke drink absolutely perfectly (large or medium) and a can is ok as long as you drink it to about halfway or less otherwise cornering becomes a constant 'i hope it doesnt tip' worry.

Interesting discussion re: pop.
We say pop too, but only if you are in the North of England, or Scotland.
Can't speak for the Southern softies, don't think they say pop
