Is it just me, or is there not a single satisfactory cup holder made for 5-series Bimmers? I have these little weirdo flip-up square ones in my '95 530i, but I never feel safe putting cups in them. I try to keep the tan interior of my car very clean. I went to Crevier BMW in Santa Ana but they decided to stop selling the black cup holders they had received. They were unstable and broke easily. Apparently, the new 5s also have pretty junky cup holders. It's a small detail, but something that annoys me. Any suggestions, opinions?


BMW actually makes a travel mug that fits well into the um.. e34 "factory" cupholder. It seals real well so that if it does tip backwards it doesn't leak. I have had several different style like this on but none beat the BMW one, I think they are like $7 at the dealer.
