I agree with porsche986spyder, looks a little cumbersome.
And if you are going to spend over a hundred bucks for a cup holder you might go full tilt and get the one from:

I have this cupholder installed on by 2000. It cam with the car. Works great as a elbow rest, jut ok for a cut holder. It does hold two cups, but is in an awkward position for good use.

You know you are the first person I have heard that actually had one installed
I think they look great and would be a nice armrest, but as you point out it looks like you would need to reach with your left hand to get your drink.
How is the looks/feel of it in general (OEM Look & feel)??

thanks for the first-hand experience
Edd -- thanks for sharing. Based on your experience -- I'll pass on this one.
And Travis is correct about questioning the wisdom of $100+ for a cup holder that works best as an arm rest.
I'm still looking -- a good value is my criteria, i.e. value = what you get for what you pay!

From what I have seen and heard along with price, this would be my real choice: http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/

I like to live dangerously so I have the ones that snap into the holes in the side vents and don't hold much of anything and can do serious damage to the vents if smacked around at all.
The car is simply not designed for drinking beverages inside it, is it? Odd how Germans will make sure there's an ashtray but never put any cup holders in the cars because "drinking or eating while driving is not safe"
And smoking a cigarette while driving 100+ mph on the autobahn is safe?
