Hi,

Does anyone know any alternative cupholders for the E60?
Mine doesn't have the standard and i'm tired of not knowing where to put my cup.
Is there any nice "external" cupholders out there, that fits the E60?

thanks

Claus

I got some from www.ultimatecupholders.com This guy made them for the e39, but has an "unadvertised" version for the E60 using the following web page.

I bought some of these as well. I like them, but have had trouble with them actually staying in place... I think it's user error, and not the cup holder design. I need to have the pins pushed in more, or fiddle with them (technical term for 'muck') a bit more.

I have these cupholders also and have been happy with them. They sit out of the way, out of sight, and within easy reach. I think for 50 bucks they are worth it.

I have the UCII as well. With enough fiddling, you can get them to saty put. Once installed well, they work great.
