Looking for test person in hot environment
Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a project where I design and make a new cupholder for the BMW E89 model, but I need to have the material and product tested in scorching sunny places, so if you are interested in driving around with my cupholder and you live in something like Death valley then, please contact me You have to dismount your center console and remove the ashtray or the small storage you have in front of the gear shifter. |

This looks like a worthwhile project and something I'm very keen on, I'll definitely have one of these in mine once they are available, and I might even produce a video How-To on installing them as well.
Living in the UK though we don't really get it all that hot here

Looks like a nice idea. Seems like your hand would bump the drinks in the upholders when shifting into 1st, 3rd and 5th. Is there enough room?

Now that was my first thought when I first saw it. I suppose it depends on your grip, as in whether you are a top holder or a shaft gripper!

I don't think it is a problem when I drive with it... it is not that easy to reach the roof button, but I can't make a new center console for BMW I will add more photos with cans and bottles in them. and hopefully i find one that lives in a very hot area I can send a prototype to so it can be tested,

An interesting article on the subject of various different materials to use, including discussing use inside of the car...
