Cup Holders for BMW X1

BMW X1 Cup Holders

When youre driving down the road in your BMW X1, cup holders keep your drinks from spilling all over your vehicles interior. The X1 comes with holders in both the front seat and backseat. BMW and other manufacturers make replacements for these cup holders.

BMW introduced the X1 as a concept car in 2008 before offering it for sale the following year. The first generation ran until 2015 but went through several upgrades during this time. Its second generation hit the market in time for the 2016 season. Regardless of which crossover model you have, you can get an OEM cup holder. An OEM cup holder is one designed, made, and sold by BMW. OEM is the abbreviation used for original equipment manufacturer. There are two different types that might work in your SUV, including:

• Center-console cup holder: This type of cup holder sits in the center console between the driver and passenger seats. It typically features two cup holders that hold cups, cans, and bottles. Youll also have some storage space around the holders.
• Pop-out cup holders: Pop-out cup holders, also called slide-out cup holders, mount onto the door of your X1. You press a button or apply some pressure to slide the cup holder out. These typically fit in the backseat and not the front.

A universal cup holder is one that will work on any car or SUV. Companies other than the original manufacturer of the vehicle are the ones who make these designs. One example is a vent mounted cup holder. This version has a clip on the back that fits between the vents on your hot and air vents. The clip keeps it from tipping over and allows the device to hold larger or heavier drinks.

Another example is one designed to fit between the seats. These models attach to the side of one seat and have space for a cup or can. Some are big enough to hold larger drinks and come with a storage tray too.

You can use cup holders anywhere in your BMW X1 where you have extra space. Universal models help you make use of wasted space like the area around your vents. BMW makes products designed for use in the backseat and for both sides. Youll also find products that you can place close to the driver side that let you grab your dink without taking your eyes off the road.

In addition to official BMW products, youll also find both unbranded and aftermarket products. Many universal cup holders are unbranded products that do not list the manufacturer on the product . Aftermarket products can include both cup holder consoles and replacement cup holders. Some of these products include features not found on official BMW X1 cup holders, such as lights that sit in the base of each holder.
