Bring it to the dealer. They will fix it. There is a TSB and a video explaining how to do the mod.

I just had my 530 in for service, and complained about the cupholders ejecting cups and cans, and that I heard there was a fix. He told me there was no official BMW fix out there. Do you know the TSB #, or have a link to it? That way, I can do half of the SA's work for him, and at least show him what needs to be done, lol!
Thanks for any other info you have

my fix is to ensure when i push the holder in, use one finger placed at the center of the plate, one swift stroke going in until confimed 'cilick' is heard.
the holder ejects gracefully each and every time thereafter.

you could also check out Ultimate Cupholders . I've been emailing him back and forth, and he has a model that seems to work well for the e60. I'm just about to order one.
