Cupholders aren’t precisely prime precedence in European sport coupes. As such, I wasn’t notably hopeful this 2023 BMW M2 would make a cheerful dwelling for an outsized water bottle like a 32-ounce Nalgene. It is vital that I attempt, although. There are actually tens of you that depend on this vital analysis. I see you together with your large water bottles, your huge Gatorades and whatnot, clicking on inside photographs of vehicles on-line simply hoping to search out that one that can accommodate your thirst.
So, I took a break from getting ready my upcoming assessment of the M2 so as to reply your most burning query first: Will the large bottle match? As at all times, let’s begin with the entrance cupholders.
Unearthing them from their carbon fiber cowl, it is plain to see this huge bottle will not match there. However I spied the entrance door pocket as I entered the car, and noticed a glimmer of hope there.
It suits, 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 in all probability break fully, and I would need to get yet one more alternative (no, the pink lid shouldn’t be authentic to this specific 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’re going to in all probability wish 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 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 bit of cubby between the seats that seams good for nothing however a telephone. Of us in again will simply have to carry their drinks all the time.
At the very least the driving force and entrance passenger have spots for theirs, they’re going to simply need to watch out attempting to get them out.
