+1 Means he's looking for a threesome for some hot gerbiling, and the "one that looks good" means you gotta shave before you show up.

www.ultimatecupholders.com They are pretty nice and stay out of the way of gear shifts, e brake. You can remove to clean carpets- just be sure that your seat can travel as far forward as you need it to before you pick your spot. Had mine for 3 years w/o any real complaints. There is no perfect one for our rides.

I second the nomination :)

I also have a cupholder from ultimatecupholders.com, it is simple, out of the way , and puts my water bottle in an easy to reach spot. I have had passengers repeatedly crush it by moving the seat too far forward though :(.

The factory (BMW NA) accessory works fine for me. The P.O. modified it to fit on the rectangular storage compartment edge by the handbrake instead of the front edge of the console, so it's out of the way of the stick shift and the seat travel. Holds my cell phone just fine.

The $25 one from Bavauto is nice... but don't buy it. Too small.

I've tried to do that but not sure what to modify. How'd you gets your in that space?
