NewNiceMrMe Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Would you believe it....there isn't a single one. However, would you like one? Well you can have one in the back if you may. It fits into the rear centre storage compartment and looks very good indeed, although you do of course lose the storage space. On the other hand, you could opt for the cheapest and worst looking second thought cup holder in the world. Please don't though. BMW admit they forgot this. Yes, they admit it. So if you ask for a front cup holder they DRILL a hole in the centre console to the left of the gearstick. They then cover it with a chrome trim. In this chrome trim is a hole. You insert the 'prong' of the plastic chrome trimmed cup holder into this hole when you want to use it - and it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm not a cup holder person, fortunately, but someone else might be - so whatever you do, do NOT buy the front cup holder option! You'll be horrified when you see it - and that is according to the salesman!

felixthecat1 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 What do you want a cup holder for? Whatever you intend to drink, down it in one and toss the empty cup on the floor in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 A cup holder has never been on the top of my wanted list I must admit, but apparently they're taken for granted in most cars these days. I don't get it, I mean where would I put the saucer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat1 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 The S60 has a bottle holder in the back behind the arm rest. You fold out this gizmo and there you have it, somewhere to put the bottle to fill up the cup you have in the fecking cup holder. The point is, the more style a car has the less likely you are to find something as dull as a cup holder. $hit, not looking good for me then.

NewNiceMrMe Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 The rear storage section has a bottle/large cup holder in it that flexs to the size of the object. However, putting something in it and then turning around 240 degrees to lift it out whilst driving doesn't seem like a very good idea to me...
