Ballerest Cupholder EVAR!

[StereoInstaller1]

Browntown has had his car hiding (likely from the law, I dunno) in my shop for a week or so. He had this cupholder stuck in his center console. He said it was from some other BMW, but I forget which.

I will let the pics tell the story.








I just don't want the GF to see it, she will demand one. She can be "persuasive".

E34 cupholder I believe. And that looks good too ... NICE !! (except for the auto-tragic)

How does the other side of the console look with it mounted ? TIA

Hey, you weren't supposed to notice the transmission...the other side would have been a good idea to take a picture of, wouldn't it?

The section of the cupholder that has the overhanging lip...well, it hangs over, but comes very close to the console. Not 100% flawless, but very sweet. Plus, it looks BMW.

Not bad man that was a great idea if i ever want to put cup holders in i would look into that! :up:

Thats a neat way to put it in. A pic of the other side would be great.

The passenger was suppose to be the cup holder in an ultimate driving machine. nonetheless it looks clean.

Why do you need a cup holder? I just put my loose changer in the ashtray. Somebody fill me in?

[Shoomakan]

Yep, my mom has that on her E34 535iSE. On the E34 the groove on the cupholder mates with the thin edge of the center console. It was great, but I put one cupholder on each of the far A/C vents, looks better, spills less.

Hmm... cupholders or heated seats?




Heated seats. I'll wait for a different location for cupholders. lol

I wedge drinks between the console and the passenger seat, and use the seatbelt receiver for balance. But looks like a nice setup you built there. :D
