BMW 2002 Dual Din with CD holder and Cup holder

[MarkParker2002]

Would any one be interested in a dual Din radio mount with a 4 draw cd holder and a built in push button cup holder? The radio would be on top and the cd and Cup holder would be right below. Thank you for your input.

It may be a good concept for a daily driver....After seeing one of your gauge plates in a friend's 02, I'm sure whatever you design the quality will be excellent...keep it up....

If you are using the push-in cup holders from the e39, they break very easily. Had to replace mine twice. Probably one of the major complaints from e39 owners. Just a thought. But I'd be interested in one.

A cup holder in a 2002?? Give me a break.

If you want a cup holder, buy yourself a minivan

Really, I find this idea offensive.

Just my 2 cents

Cup holders are manditory and it has to be big-gulp compatible! I've got a Walmart gizmo next to my e-brake lever! I did not rest until I found a arm rest w/cup holder from my E30. The Miata had holders in it until I turned it into road race only. (I'm addicted to Coke, diet that is)

This is my '02 rookie year. The car I bought has a smashed console so I am interested.

I would be interested in a custom center with ac vents and cd den

I think I have what your looking for in an AC console.

I too can do without the cup holder, however I like the idea of dual din.. I'd like to see more.

Keep it. Some of us use our '02 as a daily driver and commute upwards of 40 miles a day. I'll take a bit of sports car sacrelige over the possibility of spilling Coke on my new carpet. Or would you rather I hold it in my lap?

[TonyHavana]

Just for the record my 02 is a daily driver (except between Nov-March or whenever the snow/salt is gone) often way more than 40miles daily.

I bring a bottle of water and stuff it down between the seat and the brake lever. It's worked ok for 13 years.

Maybe I just don't have the addiction. To each his own........

Yea, after spending on a new interior, i managed to spill red fruitopia everywhere. Thankfully carpet steamers are easy to get ahold of. Still I swore off it. but it is sometimes nice to have a coke in the car during a long drive.

Lately i drink water and that's all. I'll pull over to eat and not snack in the car Makes a diff

No addiction; I usually drink water in the car myself. However my busy schedule occasionally means having to pick up dinner for the girlfriend and I on the way home, and the idea of having to hold two drinks between my legs isn't very appealing. Besides, in the folded position my cup holder is hardly noticeable and completely reversible.

The notion that a daily-driven sports car (sporting-oriented car for you purists out there) should be free of practicality has always puzzled me. As much as I wish were the case, not every jaunt in my '02 involves an autocross or mountain road. In fact, most of them are nearly void of worthwhile curves.

Cupholder or not, I'd wager that I drive my '02 more aggressively than a good percentage of the population.

got pics? Would it be possiable to get one for use with speakers in the sides of it? Would it look like early style or later?

[JasonG]

Here is another option if Mark decides against putting his idea into production.

In the early '90s, the Taurus had a somewhat stealth single din cup/coin holder. Find one at the boneyard, or order the replacement part at a Ford dealership. Should be rather easy to install in an '02's console. (Ford products in a BMW?! The horror!)

No, this is not my car; mine is the one two posts above.
