Introducing the ultimate E30 cup holder™. The way BMW would have designed cup holders in the E30 if it had been produced in the 21st century.

Many have attempted cup holder solutions for the E30. There are some interesting solutions out there nowadays, but perfection has been elusive, and none feel like they are Original Equipment.

The enthusiast community well knows that even in to the late 90’s, many German cars did not have cup holders. While no longer a concern to those in the market for a new vehicle these days, it was a common frustration especially among American car buyers. Interested in a German designed automobile? Cup holders just weren’t on the options list. While the motorized transportation manufacturers in Deutschland eventually began adding places to stash drinks on-the-go, it seems they were (and maybe still are) always a half step behind American drink sizes.

It is often more difficult to improve upon a cup holder that’s already designed into the interior. However, if (like in the E30) no drink-holding fixture existed to begin with, there’s a bit of a blank slate situation. Which opens the door to inspiration!

The E30 door pocket cup holder gives you two, modern-sized cup holders, seamlessly integrated into the interior of your E30. One “large” ~16oz, and one “extra-large” tiered-style cup holder for supporting most* large insulated to-go vessels.

The ultimate E30 cup holder.™

It’s so subtly perfect, it goes un-noticed at first glance. Yet it’s so accommodating, it makes the 40-year-old model feel like a new car… almost!
