540i from Madison.

[240sxguy]

I have a tec cupholder, my phone dock is in front of my old busted cupholders.

[Laishes]

Haha very nice! The TEC cupholders are so damn exspensive though

[240sxguy]

Yep, I have had two E39s and two Tec cupholders. Worth every penny.

[Laishes]

I'd preferably like to keep the small little storage area if I can so I'll see how these turn out; I'll order them today

[240sxguy]

Yeah storage in an E39 is a joke. I'd love a flip up armrest setup but I can't justify the cost.

[REKIII]

I bought 2 ultimate cup holders http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ for my e39.  They are the best.  Never even touch the flip out ones.

[Brian.]

I agree,flip up /collapse-able cup holders are garbage. Solid for the win. I still gotta get something for the E28... ugh.

[REKIII]

The ultimates might work for the e28 too.  You can bent them and such to fit in different places.

[Brian.]

I'm sure they would. I'd need something pretty sturdy just to be safe, as I hit bumps and shit jolts pretty good!

[Laishes]

I'm still not what sure to do to the back of the car yet either (cupholder wise that is). I was thinking the "ultimate" cupholders but I'm not sure. And then, there is this:

[Brian.]

Telephone!

[Laishes]

Hahaha; not only that, the whole center console on the picture is modified to fit cupholders in that space.

. 

[Laishes]

Here's what it normally looks like:

[REKIII]

What is that out of?  Is it aftermarket?

[Laishes]

It's aftermarket; not sure where to get said item

[Brian.]

That's really cool, Came with the car I take it?

[Laishes]

Not mine no lol; just saw it online as a "solution" to having P.O.S. OEM cupholders

[Laishes]

Thinking about debadging the 540i off the back and getting a 525i badge to put on. Can somebody say, sleeper?

[240sxguy]

Nothing sleeper about the 540. These fuckers are pretty slow

The PO of my car removed the 540i badge.

[B C]

I'd say just de-badge it in general. 

How are you liking the car?  Id really like to snag a 540i as a replacement for my camry but will likely end up with something that can make a decent home depot run every now and then
