Cuphoulders?  What's a cupholder?  I have an 1986 528E, made back in the days
when BMW said their cars are made for driving, not eating.  My routine is to
get in my car at six in the morning before the sun is up with a full hot mug
of coffee and try to steer around corners while shifting and not spill a drop
of coffee in my lap.  I think you are right about the cup holder being just
being a lame concession to the marketeers.
