Does anyone have experience with this cupholder? I am getting one in the next few days. I'll provide an update once I have tested it. As far as I know, they are new to the market and this is their first product.

Thanks dasMafia dude (or is that Sir??).

I am trying to arrange a group buy if you are interested. The company has offered us a one-time discount if we can get even a small group together. Anyone interested can e-mail me at: phantom_fury@hotmail.com.

I am not in any way related to the seller (other than I want a discount).

nice... we'll see if we get some response in here before moving it to the "Group Buy" forum. I may be interested now, although money is a little tight with the new house.

Hey will those fit on a 97 528i with an Auto? My biz partner has one and he hates his OEM cupholders too...

Works great. Very sturdy and hides away nicely. The hardest part is getting that plastic compartment to come out by tugging on it.

For those who wonder about shifting...you will notice that the little compartment is to the right of the shifter (the handbrake is low and left). The cupholder does not interfere with shifting (unless you have very long arms and hold your arm straight out when shifting). I took a short ride and it was no problem. Anyway, my first impression is that the cupholder is a great addition to the interior...moreso because it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I highly recommend it. :buttrock

I couldn't find a good cupholder for an E34, so I got married and make her hold'em :)

You gotta stick with what works :D
