Cup holder replacement
Thanks to the information from SpaceSilverX1, I replaced the UK spec cup holders. We regular use the cup holders and it's particularly annoying when using metal chilly bottles! Decided to bite the bullet and replace them. Only took 10 minutes.
After removing the 2 screws at the bottom, it just needed a couple of trim tools to lift it free of the clips. |

I Just realised why am I asking as the car won't be here for at least another 4 months on top of the 4 months that have just passed !! Last edited by Bodgeit1; 06-30-2023 at 10:08 AM.. |

I asked my wife about here's and she just said I never use them, oh no I do I put rubbish or coins in them, don't need those bits it would just be harder to get things out of them.
Can see the issue for other but she isn't fussed. |

I’d much rather see drinks holders incorporated in the doors and do something cleaner design wise with the space that frees up. I find them aesthetically ugly and when (like me) you don’t use them they just become a dirt trap inconvenience…

Call me a cheapskate, but I just got some black self-adhesive foam strip, and stuck it all around the perimeter of the two cupholders - it works a treat! Certainly didn't cost £100!

Folks in the UK, Germany, Europe and the rest of the world have the other kind, which causes the water bottles to move around while driving. Of course, the cheaper solution is to buy bigger water bottles. |

The only things that I put in my X1's cupholders are sunglasses, phone, key fob, and sometimes a jar of Bonne Maman strawberry preserve. |

It was so annoying, there was no way we could put up with this every day. Although it cost £100, I expect I'll get around half of it back when the lease expires in 3 years. Apart from the aircon, it was the only thing I didn't like about the car |

When we sold the last car to get this one, it worked out cheaper to leave the hidden dashcam battery and cabling and just order new ones than to have them removed. |
