BMW Cup Holders, Porsche Cup Holders, Ultimate Cup Holder - Cupholders / Drink Holders for BMW 3 5 7 Series, Boxster 911 Z4 Mercedes Audi NSX other fine cars.
Looks good, I'd be a bit worried it may be quite difficult to use as I'm 6ft 1", not a lot of leg room down there already

Porsche never got the cup holders right on the 986.

I assume the IMS bearing and the cup holders shared the same crack engineering team.

I'm the same height. They were in my car when I bought it. No clearance problems as you can slide them around to where-ever is the least intrusive. You can even put two on the passenger side instead of one on each side. They're big so they can take a good sized drink. The nice thing about that location is you can't spill something on the console. I've purchased a couple of cars that needed a thorough cleaning to get all the sticky mess out of the grill and stereo. I, of course, sold them as soon as I got the car home.
