What is this???? (asv it's on your new 135i)

0002s · 03-15-2008, 05:53 PM

So I am wondering what is this on asv's new 135i (nice car btw...but that's only because it my car/color comb as well....:biggrin

Is is a 3rd cup holder. There are already two in the center.

I believe that would be known as the door handle, it allows you to open the door

LOL no look at where the arrow is pointing!
Is the cup holder a la 6 series?

jdesclafani · 03-15-2008, 06:36 PM

yea thats wat it looks like that was the only thing i didnt like about the interior...

sadu77 · 03-15-2008, 06:37 PM

i sat in btothe the 128 and the 135 today and i didnt see anything like that.

larryn · 03-15-2008, 06:37 PM

That's a non-nav car.. what is it doing with the 3rd cup holder? Did it come that way?

jdesclafani · 03-15-2008, 06:41 PM

hmmm...strange the 128i and the 135i i saw had it but not the 128 vert....maybe its part of some sort of package

Oregon · 03-15-2008, 06:41 PM

Gotta' lose the cup holder, that's down-right effeminate.:wink:

YYZATC · 03-15-2008, 06:42 PM

ahhhh....sorry I get ya

YYZATC · 03-15-2008, 06:45 PM

The 135 at the Toronto autoshow had the slot for the additional cup holder by the shifter but it was removed. I guess so it would not be stollen or maybe it already was. It was a non-nav car as well.

fuhgetaboutit · 03-15-2008, 06:48 PM

Interesting - I have seen that slot there before in some of the pics - never knew what it was for, and never saw the accompanying cup holder. Mine is non-nav so I'll have the two center console holders, don't think I would need that third add-on one. But I'm curious if BMW provides that cup holder that goes in that slot?

larryn · 03-15-2008, 06:48 PM

It's only supposed to have that third (Pop-out) cup holder, if you got the iDrive/nav, and there's only room for one cup holder by the armrest.

jeremyc74 · 03-15-2008, 06:48 PM

That's the same cup holder that's in the 650 is sat in. Weren't there early interior pics of the 135 showing that? It's removable right?

I'm not sure why it's so hard for the Germans to design a proper cup holder. They can manage to fit 6 ashtrays in a Mini, but can't put one decent properly placed cupholder in a car! :biggrin:

Oregon · 03-15-2008, 06:52 PM

Am I the only one who thinks a car should not be a cup holder?:iono: Go ahead, call me different...

^^ DIFFERENT!!! :wink:

I don't let people drink in my cars either (other than water on longer drives)

Bringinthewolf · 03-15-2008, 06:56 PM

The 135 coupe and 128 cabrio that I sat in both had the 3rd cup holder and they did not have navi.

I put about 35k miles a year on a car. That's a lot of time spent without a drink.

BMW Dreamer · 03-15-2008, 07:04 PM

You can put your cell in it. A cell phone holder.

With the NAV cars you will actually need that clip-on cup holder. To use the Rear (and only on the NAV cars) cup holder you have to drive with the center cover in the UP position.

C_Topher · 03-15-2008, 08:10 PM

That is the "Oh Shit!" bar to hang onto when the going gets rough.

Robert · 03-16-2008, 03:53 AM

I asked the same question on asv's thread but he never saw it or responded to it.

It's just weird a non-nav got a 3rd cup holder...
