Cupholder

[headster24]

New owner here, with probably an old subject for most of you. Need to find a decent cupholder for my 95 525i. Bought the one that attaches to the door at the BMW dealer, but it interferes with my leg. Suggestions (and where do I find one)?

you could probably find one on ebay but with a 525i w/ standard ASC (i believe) the holders on ebay are usually made for the center console w/o the ASC button. with a simple search on google, i found this website:

...and after further searching, i found that that link just links to ebay ads selling the cupholders shown. if you have ASC, then youll want the 20$ one, w/o ASC then you could choose either, or both just in case you have kids or want holders for your rear passengers.

ive actually found that the area between the seat and the door right next to your ass is a great place to put cups, bottles, cans..etc. just dont forget to grab it before you open the door cause itll fall out..trust me, i still havnt learned.

I bought one from BMA that sits on the passenger side of the console. It's not a supertight fit but holds popcans ok. I usually keep it on the floor behind the seat when not in use.

Thank you.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is BMA.

Thank you all. This car is awesome. Haven't driven my Grand Cherokee since I brought it home.

I sent an email to this site and he is to advise when available. Thanks

...but i was thinking that, if it is an automatic, you would have room for the cupholder to the upper-right of the shifter. there's a hollow space about 2-3 inches below that would work to hold a drink. please excuse my ignorance if this has already been tried and failed, but if not, it might work. once again, i have not done this myself, so put some thought into it before doing anything rash or hasty. good luck.

There is room there, but I don't want to disturb. I have found that I can force a drink by the seat like was suggested above, but really would like to find something better. Probably will go with the seat colored single one from cupholder.com.
