Seriously, I just got mine back with 16.2 (& new cupholders). The cuplaunchers they installed a few months ago are now back to being cup holders again. They work just as well as when I first got the car. (Hoplefully the spring won't break on these like my first one).

thanks for all the inputs, guys . i think i'll skip the bluetooth cupholders idea since my dealer doesn't even know what is bluetooth . i'm going now. wish me luck .

This almost makes me want to drive back to MA to your dealership, and have them install new cupholders for me. All kidding aside....well, most kidding aside, I am on my third set of cupholders, and they are just a wee bit better than the previous ones, but still not like the originals that worked great...right up to when they froze in the open position. The ones I have now, still don't let a cup/can sit flat on the bottom flange, so the cup/can is always leaning, and not snug in the holder......this pretty much guarantees a mess!! I've decided to be more German about the whole thing, and take up smoking because the lighters and ashtrays are perfect, and not drink in my car anymore!!

Well whatever else I might say about my dealer, they have always made another BMW available for rental when I need it. They worked a great deal with Enterprise rental down the street from them...they sold them a fleet of 325's, and then pay for their customers to rent them while having the car serviced. This was part of the deal when we bought the car, and I think it's kind of cool...not sure how common this is, but I read several posts from members that seem to end up in the funky cavalier-type rentals.........makes me appreciate my dealership that much more!

My 545 is at the dealer place right now for software upgrade and brake check. it's gonna take 4 days to complete the job, they gave me a X3 as loaner so I'm going to Vegas tomorrow with that car.
