Please look at the attached diagram for a cupholder assembly for a 6 series.

Any opinion if you think it would be possible to adapt the cupholder and the assembly that sits below the tunnel, make a notch on the side of the center console, and have it fit into a US 06 E53?

Here's some 6 series images to help.. I just can't tell if there is enough room under the console, and how difficult would it be to make the notch to hold the assembly in place. I think it'll clear the glove box.

Opinions, please (oh, but please spare me the "Nobody drinks nuthin in my BMW" song. I've already heard all the tough tunes about the evils of driving with a hot 12 oz of tea or a to-go mug of hot chocolate)

Thanks
