Nope I haven't seen one either. It should be pretty simple to fabricate one though, using a hole cutter and some plastic tubing......

Cheers,

Has a great product. I installed one a year ago and it has worked out great.

with the t handle reversed it works great. i will be putting a seccond one in line soon. there is room and it works well. i still need to trim the rubber mat.

I don't think that would fly with a manual transmission.

I have a 1995 525i and purchased the dual cup holder from the dealer (it is one of the few items I would purchase from them!) and I really like it. They had to special order it for me and it cost $25.99. It rests on the edge of the center console and holds two drinks. Granted it does not hold huge drinks but I am very pleased with it. I tried to find a good pic of it and was only able to find it on ebay. I hope this link works but here is an example of what it looks like.

I found another pic of the cup holder. It can be ordered from this site but I found it cheaper at the stealership ($25.99)

That looks very good in the picture--Wish I could see it installed. I'd love to have a functional center console rather than my crap wires from my mobile phone in there...anyone have one installed and have a pic? Comments?
