Measurement Request: Those with idrive cupholder

jayparry · 01-10-2009, 12:43 PM

Hey i was wondering if someone could measure the exact distance that the idrive cupholder is away from the center console (or some other obvious point). I will be retrofitting the cupholder today and will be drilling my console and need the exact place the mounting bracket sits!

thanks 1ers!

It's hard to get a solid reference on this thing becuase there aren't any square parts, but hopefully these help.

Please let me know how much of a Pain in the rear it is to do as I would like to add one to my car as well. Please post pics of prerp, during and completed if possible.

Thanks!

I have the bracket and the slot/flap but no cupholder. Anyone know if I can buy just the cupholder? How ludicrously expensive is it? Furthermore has anyone come up with some other ingenious use for this slot?

Check your trunk; that's where mine was hiding.

If you have the slot, but no actual cup-holder, it must have been "lost" in transit and you should bring it to the attention of your CA, because it was his responsibility to mention this feature to you when you purchased the car.
