Yeah, but its a real good way to learn to drive smoothly -- nothing like
excruciating pain coupled with fear of dying to quckly condition the mind.

At my BMW Dealer the other day, while waiting for my oil to be changed,
I noticed that they had a large variety of add-in cupholders designed to
mount firmly in the ash trays, cubby holes, and sunglass boxes in the 
consoles of various models.  I didn't look closely at what models were
covered -- my Bimmer has cupholders built-in.  It caught my attention
because it gave me an idea of how to improve A/C air flow to my kiddos
in the back seat -- mount a small fan on a base designed to insert into
the ashtray for the back seat on the back of the center console.  Well,
its an _idea_.

Anyway, just thought you might want to check out your dealer,
they may have a perfect solution,

P.S.  Richard, if you are listening... whenever I send mail
to bmw@domain.elided (which used to work fine), it bounces.
I tried forwarding you such a message, and it also bounced.
