Did they replace the cupholders on THAT car?
I hope so, because I have an 2005.... and the cupholders won't hold anything well.? Everything tips over, so I have to drive with one hand holding the drink.

I REALLY have no clue what you guys are talking about.... My car was built 02/05.. My cup holders are just fine... I even love 'em better than the ones in my Audi A6 which had some excellent cup holders..

[/quote]Yep. On my 3/05 build the cupholders work perfectly. But wasn't there a lot of variability on the older cupholders? I thought some of them worked okay.

Bigart,
Can you look at your service receipt and see if there are any part numbers, etc, for the cup holders. Mine shoots full cups and cans out because the spring is so strong, and my dealer is dumb on the subject. Thanks.

Of course it was done under waranty but the total labor time is listed as .13 hours so it must be a real quickie of a job.
Hope this helps.

? ? And today?? No problem !!? The upgrade has been perfoprmed and the Pepsi Can is held quite securely.? Once again, BMW has responded to customer needs regarding critical issues.
? ? Version 16.2 was also installed and I have no complaints about it.? The NAV Perspective View is cute ( though not really needed ), I don't miss the screen telling me that the HVAC is in automatic mode, and finally, the radio stays off when I want it to do so.? Also, I don't find the new NAV icons to be intrusive.
There's a new little telephone icon whose function I haven't yet determined.? Anyone know?
Also, I am now getting about 20 stations on AM Autostore instead of the previous 6.? Wow!
All comments welcome.
Thanks,
