Dumb Question - Cupholders?
This will be a great daily driver but I can't see the cupholders in any of the pics. Doesn't look like they are in the dash like the current 3 series or Z4 and are not in the console like the E46. Has anyone seen them?

There are 2 by the parking break if you opt not to get iDrive.

Only beverage allowed in my car is bottled water...that is it. I guess you can say I'm a little anal when it comes to my cars upkeep.

It "should" get the same type of cupholder as the 3 series that slides out of the dash from above the glove box.

I think I figured it out. Looking at a some of the newer videos posted of the 135i, I did a screencap of the interior that flashes by of a iDrive equipped car, and shows (what I believe) is the single cupholder up front.
The dash obviously did not have retractable cupholders like the e9x's in the video, but look to the right of the shifter. What else could that be? |

Who would have thought that cupholders would warrant as much discussion as the engine or suspension. Too funny! |

Seriously, god forbid this car doesn't have a cupholder the world as we know it would come to an end...kidding.

I don't care too much for cupholders.... In my E36, the damn things could barely hold a Red Bull can, but I really rarely drink while driving except on longer trips.... I don't find them or iDrive necessary, but if given the choice, I'll take cupholders every time.

Define Cupholder
Over on Porsche Pete's Boxster Board, the definition of cupholders has taken a turn; a cupholder is the slang term for one's significant other riding in the passenger seat. :wink:

I like the cupholder on the side of the console...e46ish...as opposed to up on the dash. And, I only need one. - john |

What's the story with the extra "à la 6-Series" cupholder from the shots below. It seems that ought to be be an option if iDrive were selected but there are no official photo or specs that mentions it.

If you don't get iDrive there are 2 in the center console, but one is in a bad location underneath the lip of the armrest, so don't expect to put much in it. You can see the very edge of it in the photo 2 posts above mine -- as you can see the armrest sits over it. So nothing larger than a soda can will fit.
If you get iDrive, there is only 1 in the center console. Unfortunately it's the largely useless one. And you can elect the get the optional one that is shown in the image 2 posts above mine. Here's a better image of the cupholder in the iDrive equipped model: Note the cupholder underneath the center armrest. And here's a bad image of the cupholders in a non-iDrive model: The ebrake is in the way, but you can see the 2 cupholders in the center armrest. Note that the rear one is under the armrest. Not as much as it is on the iDrive model, but close enough to it you're not putting a Big Gulp in there. |
