I finally was able to make a cup holder replacement for my 2000 E39 that worked in the original cup holder location of my 528i. I also configured it to work in two other locations. One is the front of the sliding armrest, and the other is at the back end of the arm rest for the rear seat passengers.
It worked so well that I am offering them for others to finally have a stylish, adjustable, and unique cup holder made from hi quality SS brake line and steel wire to retain the shape necessary to handle different sized cups or bottles.
The dash mounted cup holder completely snaps in and out without tools, leaving behind a very small black powder coated bracket that picks up the two original cup holder mounting screws. It is not necessary to remove the broken OEM cup holder. But it must be retracted into the dash.
This is completely made in the USA, and can be customized if desired. I have started selling them on Ebay. The brand name is Nardi, and a few samples are viewable here:
