Retrofit a cup holder

[Kibokojoe]

Anyone ever try retrofitting a later series cup holder into the ash tray compartment on a 5 or 7 series? These are collapsable so it will be out of the way. I don't smoke so the ashtray is a waste

Don't have one to measure but it looks like it will fit,

Don't have one to measure but it looks like it will fit,The only problem is proximity to the shifter, but with e32/4, there is not much one can do about that... Would be very neat though. No doubt some intuitive person is thinking about it tho... ;)

Has anyone give it a shot?
