BMW E39/E34 Center Console Cupholder (Updated)
Print Profile(1)
Description
The BMW E39 center console single cup holder is a popular "OEM+" modification designed to fix one of the 5 Series' few interior flaws: the fragile factory folding holders. Most versions are designed as a drop-in replacement for the center console tray located just behind the gear shifter. They are typically crafted from a high-quality, matte black textured plastic that seamlessly matches the original BMW interior trim, providing a clean, factory-installed appearance rather than looking like a cheap aftermarket add-on.
Functionally, this unit offers a significant upgrade in reliability because it is a fixed, deep-well cylinder with no moving parts to snap or jam. Unlike the shallow factory "claws," this insert utilizes the vertical depth of the console to keep drinks secure during spirited driving. Most designs are perfectly sized for standard 12oz cans or medium coffee cups and often include small tension tabs or rubberized liners to grip containers of varying widths and prevent annoying rattles.
- Installation is remarkably straightforward, usually requiring nothing more than a plastic trim tool. The unit simply replaces the existing coin or "oddments" tray, snapping directly into the factory tension clips without the need for drilling or adhesive. It is an ideal solution for E39 owners who want a practical place for their coffee while maintaining the classic, understated elegance of the E34/E39 era cockpit.
