Cupholders aren’t precisely high precedence in European sport coupes. As such, I wasn’t notably hopeful this 2023 BMW M2 would make a cheerful residence for an outsized water bottle like a 32-ounce Nalgene. It is essential that I strive, although. There are actually tens of you that depend on this essential analysis. I see you together with your large water bottles, your massive Gatorades and whatnot, clicking on inside photographs of vehicles on-line simply hoping to search out that one that may accommodate your thirst.Â
So, I took a break from making ready my upcoming evaluate of the M2 with a purpose to reply your most burning query first: Will the large bottle match? As all the time, let’s begin with the entrance cupholders.
Unearthing them from their carbon fiber cowl, it is plain to see this massive bottle will not match there. However I spied the entrance door pocket as I entered the automobile, and noticed a glimmer of hope there.
It matches, however simply barely. In reality, after I went to drag the bottle again out, that is what occurred:
The grip from the door pocket overcame the grip of the plastic lid lanyard factor on the neck of the bottle. After lengthy sufficient, that factor would most likely break totally, and I might must get one more alternative (no, the pink lid isn’t unique to this specific bottle).
Not that anybody needs to spend so much of time within the again seat of the M2 (besides my son), but when we do cram passengers again there, they’re going to most likely need to soothe their claustrophobia and their thirst with frequent sips from their very own water bottles.
However there aren’t any cupholders to be discovered. There is not any armrest, only a passthrough to the trunk. No cupholders on the rear of the middle console, however there are temperature controls again there. There’s somewhat cubby between the seats that seams good for nothing however a telephone. People in again will simply have to carry their drinks your entire time.
A minimum of the driving force and entrance passenger have spots for theirs, they’re going to simply must watch out attempting to get them out.
