Overview

The #1 BMW E36 cup holder, with over 2,500 units in use worldwide. Refined through years of real owner feedback and designed around real-world use. Securely holding everything from takeaway coffee to larger bottles, while maintaining the original interior proportions.

3D-scanned data guarantees precise fitment in the center console, blends naturally instead of looking like an aftermarket add-on. The optional XL Cup Adapter allows you to fit even the largest beverage (Stanley & Yeti Fits!)

Installation uses the factory mounting point and is fully reversible. No cutting, no drilling, and no permanent changes.
