Amazing the way different people use cars, I've driven for over 40 years and NEVER used a cup holder

Kidding? I love a freddo espresso resting in the cup holder at summer... I use it almost every day. (E85)

it is espresso coffee (or cappuccino depends on what you prefer), poured into a glass containing ice, straight after you make it hot from the machine. Really nice when it is really hot outside.
P.S. on freddo cappuccino you prepare the foam afterwards cold, not warm.
Really missed it when I was studying in the UK

If I'm on one of my trips up to Thurso flying solo on a Friday evening then I put my hill walking boots in the passenger footwell and stick my travel mug inside 1 of them........2 in the car then whoever's in the passenger seat holds the coffee until it's cooled enough to drink.......mine's an auto so easy enough to drink & drive.

The two cup holders in my e89 have been used half a dozen times in 8 years.

Shame I don't have those in the arm rest like you must have. I just got the iPhone holder and a storage shelf.

It's not a shame. The ones in the arm rest are poor, because there's nothing to keep the lid up, the drinks are badly positioned and the whole thing looks dreadful with them in, anyway.

My lid locks in the open position, but I agree with your other points.

Kuh, you're right. So does mine.
And there's a pouch with a Velcro flap in the lid top, too.
