Cupholders aren’t precisely prime precedence in European sport coupes. As such, I wasn’t notably hopeful this 2023 BMW M2 would make a contented house for an outsized water bottle like a 32-ounce Nalgene. It is necessary that I strive, although. There are actually tens of you that depend on this necessary analysis. I see you along with your big water bottles, your large Gatorades and whatnot, clicking on inside pictures of automobiles on-line simply hoping to search out that one that may accommodate your thirst.
So, I took a break from getting ready my upcoming overview of the M2 to be able to reply your most burning query first: Will the massive 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 large 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 suits, however simply barely. In truth, 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 in all probability break fully, and I might need to get yet one more alternative (no, the purple lid just isn’t unique to this explicit bottle).
Not that anybody desires 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 will in all probability need to soothe their claustrophobia and their thirst with frequent sips from their very own water bottles.
However there are not any cupholders to be discovered. There is no 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 a little bit cubby between the seats that seams good for nothing however a cellphone. People in again will simply have to carry their drinks all the time.
At the least the driving force and entrance passenger have spots for theirs, they will simply need to watch out attempting to get them out.
