The holder belongs to the Cup Holders category and is finished in black, matching standard BMW interior trims. The extendable and retractable mechanism of the holder is designed not to disrupt the ergonomics of the center console operation or restrict access to other controls. This solution allows for convenient use of beverages while driving, and when retracted, it maintains an aesthetic, discreet appearance.

Functionality in Daily Use

The original passenger-side cup holder provides stable support for cups and bottles, minimizing the risk of spills while driving. Thanks to its factory design:

• it keeps beverages in an easily accessible location for the passenger,
• it does not interfere with the operation of the gear shifter or other switches,
• when retracted, it does not occupy additional cabin space.

This solution enhances travel comfort, especially on longer journeys, where the ability to safely place a beverage is crucial for user convenience.

Characteristics of a Used Part

However, it retains its functional purpose and allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or missing holder in your BMW. This is a practical solution for drivers who want to restore the full functionality of their interior without investing in a new part.
