Did you get the slot in the console? If not, the cup holder isn't going to work. It is not an option unless you ordered iDrive, or got a dealer ordered car.

Dan at united sells a retrofit kit. I ordered a new console to get rid of it because its really ugly imho.

I'll have to look after I see the car again....re-delivery at PDC is the 30th.
I didn't order idrive but I did have a dealer ordered car which I picked up ED. Didn't think about the thing till I saw the holder on a friend's 1 the other day.

Hey...did I miss something, you ordered a new console to get rid of the cup holder???

The cup holder I was talking about sits on the side of the center console next to the shift knob on the passenger side. Is this the one you don't like? If so, all is well...each to his own. Just wondered.

I think the ones in the dash are extreme ugliness!

I'll check with Dan and maybe it's what I'm wanting...dunno!

Thanx to both of you.

Any pictures of the cup holder in question or the retro fit kit?

Here it is, and requires the slot in the consolde for it to slip into.

My car was ordered, and I do not have the 3rd cupholder.

The cars that got the 3rd cupholder and not Idrive are cars that were changed after the oder was already in place, and IDrive was removed.

When you add IDrive to the order, it adds the cupholder option, but when you take IDrive off the order, the cupholder option stays. It's a glitch in BMW's ordering software.

Non-Idrive cars aren't suppose to have it at all.

Grrrr, drop the cup holder, your driving not drinking! save the drinking when you get to the office/home.

I can't understand this fascination with cup holders in cars and this need to drink while driving.
