Absolutely, and you can't say you're from the Pacific NW unless you
can drink 6 lattes and still manage to drive in a calm fashion.

If this is similar to the one that Bav Auto sells, it looks cheap and
it is very flimsy, and they charge a whole bunch.  The armrest has a
generic grain and guess what? I had the same thing in an A3 Jetta, VW
sells the same thing only cheaper, not worth it IMO.  I don't know the
E30 interior very well but you can possibly add the cupholder the '95
VW Passat comes with.  It's only about 40 bucks and holds drinks very
well, I mounted one in my E21, forward of the front pass seat along
the edge of the center console, I can reach it easily w/o taking my
eyes off the road, it also folds out of the way.
