To be available in the near future shortly there will be a new drinks holder designed to accomodate various sizes of canned/bottled drinks.

In Silver - £30.00 incl. VAT
In Anthracite - £31.81 incl. VAT

Should help to keep the Americans happy (assuming they're going to be available over there! ).

Any extra rep points greatly appreciated!

LMAO at the £1.81p price difference!

Do you know how soon is "soon"?

[KenL]

I couldn't quite get my head around the £1.81 difference either!

Not entirely sure when they'll be available, but I'm sure it won't be too long as they're listed on the same information as the 4 CD holder which is available now.

I think it's the Maybach that you're thinking of. I'm sure the Mini is capable of this task, but the Maybach has some sort of advantage due to the $335,000 price adjustment compared to the Mini. They both do have neat sunroofs, although I dig the Maybach's $10,000 sunroof a little more.

A toast to the Mini! Cheers

[Minty]

i'd guess within the next couple of days......

(come on steve, lets get them released....job for tomrrow then....)

[MINIALEX]

is that a cd holder below the toggles - id be very interested in that

[KensCooper]

Does it attach to the down tubes? If so I don't care for it. The paint on the down tubes scratches if you breath on them let alone strap that baby on them! Why doesn't MINI quit fooling around with something that looks like an afterthought and design a complet new center console with armrest with storage and a decent cupholder?

Not all Americans are stupid about drink holders.

[MINIALEX]

so any info on the cd holder

[Z1GZAG N]

Wow, that thing looks like something you'd pick up at a flea market. I wouldn't put that thing on my Mini if you paid me. If you got to have a drink holder, may I suggest you purchase the following.

[ncdave]

I'm trying very hard not to be critical, but that thing is hideous.

On a related note, my daughter took a test in 6th grade last week in which one of the questions was to name the foods that were safe to eat while driving (there was actually a short movie on this). Apparently, the correct answer was "cereal bars, yogurt, and fast food-type sandwiches." She answered "None - you shouldn't be eating while Motoring." She obviously spends way too much time with me in the Mini.

OMG!! I think I might have one of those in the costume box in the garage.....

[SeeYa]

Looks like it would hold 2 drinks

£61.00 including VAT and is already available. It can't be used in conjunction with the retrofit accessory gauge set as they both inhabit the sapce below the switches on the centre console.

Drop me a PM if you need to know any more!

[Wul]

Well firstly that holder is disgusting - it looks like it is.....an afterthought - i personally use the centre cup holder and it can happily take the biggest Starbucks cup you can throw at it.

As for the CD holder - at £61 i'd be expecting it to load and play itself for that sort of money!

It's a mini rip-off!

[scooperman_uk]

moet. looks big enough to hold a saucepan.

[Duckie]

HAHAHA... I agree with ZIGZAGN... The drink hat for all those complaing about the size of the cup holders. Here in Germany, you can't find a bottle or can of anything bigger than the cup holders anyway.... I know what it's like in the states, but perhaps if SOME (notice I'm not generalising here) Americans would stop drinking so much dang Cola, there wouldn't be such a steep rise in obesity.

[jlivengo]

I wouldn't talk much about obesity in the USA. Especially in Germany with all the fried cutlets, gravy, brat's, beer and so on. I think Germans have the most unhealthy diet of any place I've been too. And they're no stranger to the cola either. The difference with the American is that we're just lazy.

[Duckie]

I haven't seen nearly as much obesity here than I have in the U.S. So, it's not the diet my friend, it's the life style, and I agree with you, some Americans are lazy... but I've also seen a lot of fit American's as well..... But, to get back to the point... Maybe MINI's are the key to get some people drinking less Cola.....
Conclusion: Cola = bad Beer = Good... Small cup holders = good Big ugly cup holders = bad.... and anything big and fat won't fit in my MINI anyway, so so worries here.
