Cup holder broke

Anyone else have the spring loaded "thingy" on the cup holder break?

nope because my car isn't in yet, but if you knew how many times my friend has had his fixed on his 5-series, you would get tired of getting the dealer to fix, re-fix, re-re-fix, etc, etc, etc.

Yes, I had one replaced. The spring loaded thingy just fell off after using for couple of hours.

Same here, broke within a week or so. I've opted against using it and just using the one in the armrest.

Went to my dealer and they just pulled one off the showroom car instead of making me come back.....as long as it is still under warranty I'll still use it and have BMW replace it if it breaks again.....honestly the minute I saw it I knew it wouldn't last and looked like it was "thrown together" once they realized they needed a "real" cup holder for the American market

I have a 135 that also had the spring loaded clip pop off (i've put it back on but it pops off everytime I put something in there)

Supposedly it's on backorder and has to come from Germany

Dealership will replace it under warranty though
