in-car cupholder recommendations?

[Sky-drive]

My Z4 desperately needs a cupholder for my morning coffees, Pepsi slurps and Maccy Dee milkshakes.

My girlfriend currently makes for a handy cupholder but she does seem to moan a bit on long journeys and I need something quieter for when I'm out on my preferred 1 up fast road trips ...

Ideally a cupholder that can be affixed to the aluminium trim to the left of the gear stick, doesn't have to be OE spec and I don't mind aftermarket as long as it doesnt look out of place, any recommendations out there?

... depends on the price I guess if you can get OE cupholders for a Zed 4.

And have to confess Im not overly keen on the position of the air vent cupholders - being lefthanded I would prefer to have the cupholder fixed somewhere more centrally located within the car, to the left of the gearbox would be ideal

similar to machine monkeys i believe, only down side is where i have them if you move seat forward it pushes them.

Im same never liked cup holders high up

Yes, very similar design to machine monkey ones.

I bought a pair of MM ones from another forum member who was selling his Z4 as I'm sure I read MM doesn't do them any more.

My current car has the OEM ones, but being on the dash they just feel a bit too high up (and a bit flimsy)!

Plus I'm sure I read somewhere that you can only get used right hand ones.

Have seen both sides on offer, if you ask the breakers some don"t even know they exist

My Z is my DD, I am happy with the ultimate cup holder.

Yep, but if u buy one of his holders make sure u politely remind him to flatten out the top flap that slides under the centre console plastic.... :wink:

Ideally something like this is what I would like, obviously a rhd version. Think the photo shows a 1 series cupholder. Have also found similar in design BMW 6 series cupholders on Ebay and wondering whether I could configure my centre trim to accept this type of cupholder ...
