    BPA Free Water Bottles with straw that fit e36 and e60

    My wife and I love our Contigo water bottles and take them pretty much everywhere... But they don't fit in our BMWs' cup holders.

    Are there any Contigo-like bottles that fit our cup holders? If not, would you all buy some if I had them made? How much would you pay?

    The water bottle I'm referring to: http://www.gocontigo.com/media/catal...closed_1_1.jpg

    Website doesn't list e36 or e60. Have you tried it?

    Don't happen to have an E36 or an E60, but it should grab into any gap. PO had it and it slides in basically anywhere

    But for the E60, confirmed.

    Does not work for E36 or E36 variants (Z3, 318ti). I tried this 15 years ago.

    Option 2 for the E36 would be to remove the factory cupholders and just sit them horizontally?

    poor E36

    Cant imagine why it couldnt be made to fit an e36 with a little creativity. Its just a metal lip wedged under the carpet that holds it in place. Either create a ridge with the lip to friction fit under the center console or bend it back to make a U shape and fish it through the carpet or something...

    OP, does your bottle have to be plastic? I'm sure there are tons of metal water bottles/coffee cups that would fit the bill.
    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    The website says he's working on one for e36s.

    probably will take years or never.

    get the one for the E39 and find a smaller water $5 water bottle courtesy of your neighborhood Wally World for the E36.
