Best cupholders?

[berlintaxi]

Those have got to be my favourite, ridiculous but still great.

Do they mean our truck driving friend can literally boil his piss?

The cupholders hidden behind the Inlaid Wood on the Vel Satis Initiale are quite cool:

Arrrgghhh!

Stupid GIF. What's the other two? I wanna see the other two.

It's strangely compelling to keep watching the GIF in the hope that the money shots will be shown...


Gah.

^^^ I still want to know this too! What's in the middle one? This thread is useless without more pics! This stuff is thoroughly important

(Still too lazy/hungover to investigate further though )

Merc SUV (feel the hate) has cup holders that you can heat to keep your drink warm or cool to keep it cold, plus the light up to let you know what they are doing...

Great,until you drop something in it & burn your fingers trying to get it out

It is a gentle heat, not a hot plate!

Not E39 ones, apart from them breaking constantly they can not hold a large drink at all, seriously my passenger seat is horrific, the amount of drink I've spilled on it, coffee, coke, fanta, good job it is cloth otherwise passengers would be stuck there forever

I have just given away a fairly crap E46 316i that formerly belonged to my brother. I am not sure if it even has cupholders, but someone has been giving the cloth seats a drink. The interior is dire - pale blue seats that seem to have been pissed on by every drunk in the north of England. I doubt that any self respecting teenage gymnast or even the skankiest of hooker would be seen dead in the thing.

E46 are ok, if they're specced then they're in the centre console, and unlike E39's they don't fire your drink into your seats/crotch

Part of me wants to say "oh I gave up cleaning it" truth be told I've never cleaned the seats, but the amount of drinks that get spilled on it because of the st cup holders, why bother, no one really sits in that seat anyway, and the bd cup holder in view.

This thread was intended to plumb the depths of automotive absurdity, but we have been comprehensively trumped. Read and weep:-

I am waiting for the discussion on where's best to put air in your tyres? Is supermarket air the same as BP air as my mate works for one of the air delivery companies and reckons it is watered down for Tesco and their ilk.

Former Vel Satis owner here. The middle one is a felt-lined tray for pens, change, that sort of thing - the one on the right is another cup holder, same as the one you see in the GIF.

Hope this helps!

Gotcha

Romanian, Czech, I'm not fussy as long as they're leggy, barely legal, can't speak English, are impressed with my slighty crap wheels and can hold a gin and tonic between their legs whilst I drive to the nearest Travelodge whilst pretending to be the Duke of Rutland.

I like mine so skinny that they have to put the cup between their knees in order to grip it

I prefer mine imported in a chilled container direct from the Andes. You can really tell the difference.
