X5 cupholder diameter question
By any chance does someone have the diameter of the cupholder in the X5 with the new style inserts? I'd like to know what diameter size cup will fit in there. Thanks

The diameter, incredibly, is always half a millimeter smaller than the diameter of the damn coffee cup you are trying to stuff in there at 6:30 in the morning.

...And then the 3 stupid prongs puncture through the styrofoam cup causing a massive flood of molten hot, brown fluid, and your X stinks like day-old coffee for weeks!

Obviously I have to. Car is in the shop for a couple days and I was hoping someone would take 2 minutes to provide that tiny bit of info.
