E60 cup holders... what's the BIG deal?
Having driven an E39 for 6 years... forced to deal with those "POS" cup holders... I really don't see the issue for complaining about the E60 cupholders.
I've had my E60 for a week now... and I'm a regular at Starbucks, addict actually!
Last weekend my gf and I used the cupholders for both the Vente' and Grande' sized cups. I actually thought they were great. They were stable, but mostly didn't "block" any of the controls.
I think the lack of storage in the cabin of the E60 is more of an issue... if they had positioned the cup holders in a more traditional area... the storage would have been reduced even more......... :dunno:

early e60 cupholders hold cups at an angle and they don't fit all the way down but they have been revised and are not having near as many problems.
I Agree

Can the new style cup holders be retrofitted to earlier E60s? May 2004 build.
I don't use the cup holders in my car because I'm afraid they will break off. . .

I guess it is nice that they redesigned them but IMHO the E39 "cupholders" were the best ever invented. They prevent people from bringing drinks in my car. (Yes I am fairly anal-retentive about my cars :rofl: No I don't eat or drink in them

I agree! The E39 cupholders were a joke.

I wish the cupholders on my 00 528i were like the ones in my 99 chevrolet malibu, i mean in the front drivers seat, a cup holder on the left just pulls out, and holds any size drink firmly in place.
Well, I guess it took lots of complaining about the E39 that BMW finally designed something (half-way, IMO) decent in the E60.
I understand that Europeans do not use cupholders or drink/eat in their cars too much or not as much as Americans do....
