Until only very recently, most German cars have had the crappiest cup-holders or none at all. BMW had flimsy ones that swung from the passenger dash to service the driver.

Their argument is that while driving, why would you have a drink?

Yep, when we moved to Germany in 1995 we had a brand new US-specs VW Passat sedan. The Germans were in amazement over the cupholder, a two-cup contraption that was bolted to the transmission hump on the passenger side of the car...



The way they reacted, you'd think it was the most high-tech piece of equipment on the car!

Also, the third-eye brake light was new to the Germans back then, so it wasn't uncommon to see them jump in surprise when it lit up!
