the ultimate e30 cupholder.

[sticksdaman]

yea i noticed that too upon re-examining your pic....it gets narrower as it goes back

[ColdAccord]

i need an armrest/cupholder

[Mot]

You must be short than? The closest I can sit is line 3-4 notches up from the furthest back! lol Even then, on long trips, my seat is all teh way back!

I am 6'3" though.

Im 6'1" and I sit super close.. its all about personal preferences.

[AdironRider]

Fucking sweet idea. This is the first cupholder mod Ive seen that actually looks like it flows with the car. Only difference Im going to make is to put the tube at the very rear of the coin tray as opposed to the front like yours.

yeah im also about 6'3'', i love the look and originality but i fear i cant do this mod :(

[DanGillan]

yea i think the very rear may work, but just make sure you take a careful look to make sure it wont interfere with anything.

[golde30]

hmm, i have a few spare rear center consols...i may have to butcher them up and see if i can make one that works for me.

Your not supposed to drink in a BMW.

props on the quality idea

[sticksdaman]

bmws are also supposed to have A/C

[bwanac]

that looks decent.... hmm...

did you not ahve a dremel to use? how the hell did you cut it?

[DanGillan]

haha, nope, no dremel, it was a bad idea to start without a dremel, but i started then realized how hard it was, but i couldnt stop at that point, i used a hacksaw, 2 different types of dykes, box cutter, whatever the fuck would work, it sucked, i wouldnt try it without a dremel.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm touche!

[StereoInstaller1]

Wow...a whole thread caused by my being a coffee whore!

I think mine may be a 2.5" port as well, but it is much farther forward, immediately to the right of the release button for the e-brake.

The thing fucking ROCKS! I will see if any of my suppliers have 2.5" port tubes so I can be a source for anyone who wants one.

Thanks for the props, Dan!

I put my drinks between the hand brake and my seat bolster, works great :).
