Cup holder

Anthrax · 01-06-2012, 01:38 PM

So I\'m just a lowly 3-series owner but when I took my 335 in to the shop they gave me a 550 as a loaner. I\'m not sure if I\'m blind or if there really is only the console cup holder. Either way, does that cup holder transform in any way? It doesn\'t hold cups very well at all but there is some sort of button next to it, however, the button seems to be jammed and pushing it doesn\'t cause the cup holder to do anything. Do you guys know if I\'m doing something wrong?

There are two - one of them is way over by the passenger door. They get stuck sometimes, to where you have to pry on the right edge a little as you press the button.

Terrible cupholders, though.

If it pops out when you hit the button and can put a small/medium cup in it, you aren't doing anything wrong.

I don't like that the one closest to the driver is so far away, but it's bettter than none like in my last bimmer.

If I have a large cup, I just put it in the cup holder in the back.
