Smart and Final16 oz cup fits between handbrake and passenger seat. Not great, but it works.
coffee in the coupe?!?

you are the best !
the bialetti was done in conjuntion with an adhoc hole in the hood that improves the overall aesthetics of the coupe, so you can see the thing whistle while driving
cheers
Unfortunately it's not an option on my CSi...unless it was a dealer installed accessory upgrade option and a PO removed it.;-)
The color matched duct tape (Verona shown) was a US option that fits in the toolbox after a few rounds. The BMW cloth was used as a napkin to clean up the mess making it so rare today in its clean blue form.
Now the CSi option that fits the engine bay requires some plumbing and was only good for one cup. It cleverly brews into the windshield washer tank.
Any other questions grasshopper?

The invisible cup holder? I already have one of those....
Always amazed when 2 1/2 year old threads show up out of nowhere.

the 'CCCC for Cs'
Ok it's 'unofficial' now:
The 'Craziest Creative Coffee Contraption for Coupes' will be (should?) a new class/feature/shtick at Legends of the Autobaun along with the return of the 'Fastest Windows in the West'.
Only rule: the espresso machine's gotta work!
LOL- game on gruppe, (yes i have had too much coffee this morning ;-)

Euro spec vw golf mk3, with minor fettling it fits nice under the cassette player and dosent fowl gear changes when out holding your preferred beverage.
Meanwhile 6 years later...
I've bought a few of these for my cup holder resistant BMWs. Bought 3 to see how/if an additional bracket is needed for E9s.

Are these better than duct tape?
Better than duct tape & chicken wire.

I’ve found that exact Starbucks cup holder solution. For those who haven’t tried it, the “tall” version of their cup with a lid wedges fairly nicely in the corner next to the instrument cluster. Handles most driving situations—-hard acceleration is not recommended-trust me, I’ve learned
Because I have electric parking brakes I was able to fabricate a solution that you have to love or hate. Cup holder and change holder, along with an armrest.
