Circling back to this... My 2016 E350 has four cupholders, two in the front console and two in the rear seat fold down. I don't count the two molded hints in the doors.
In the front seat, I use one of them to hold a short cup of Jordan Almonds for the occassional munchies while waiting at the store for the wife to return. I use the other more often for a drink.
European cars are not known for cupholders. For the longest time, the German cars resisted any hint of a cupholder... "The car is for driving with both hands, not sipping a slurpy," they said.
So, one might consider any cupholder a concession, if not a treat. Heck, the two front upholders in the console are even removable as a unit. Without them, you would never know that a set of cupholders go there. Don't know about the W213.
Forums are so interesting. So many people just responding with "Why do you need more than two?" You can simply say you dont know of any solution instead of attacking the OP for wanting more than 2. I myself have had occasions where I needed more than the two in front. It is unreasonable to expect a driver or front passenger to reach to the back to use the ones in the rear armrest. Consider this scenario which is my daily life. I currently have a bottle of hand sanitizer in one drink holder. I also often put my cell phone in the other. It is not uncommon to have two drinks from the driver and passenger, and then needing a place to put them when you have already used the current drink holders as storage.

You can have my cup holders. I've never used a cup holder because I do not drink and drive. I don't eat in the car either. This is a habit learned when I lived in a jurisdiction where drinking and/or eating while driving would get one a citation for distracted driving.
if you are bringing drinks back to the family and dont want to hold them or have the passenger hold them in the drink holder thing they give you. simple.

Hmmm...drinks for the family, or spills on my seats? Hmmm?

Thank you for your sympathy. Amazing how a simple question can elicit so much useless B.S. sometimes. Usually, the responses I get here are quite useful.

Well, OK.... If we must take this thread seriously, I'll give this more thought than you have...
Amazon is your friend. I had these in my 1970 Plymouth Duster, because it had no cupholders at all, NONE...
And they are removable, just like my Duster's 8-track tape deck...
These will look super spiff in your Mercedes-Benz...
I detect some smiles out there relative to this thread, but I must admit I thought the presence of only two cup-holders was not in keeping with the usual MB excess. I mean if there is a need for 64 ambient colors in the mood lighting, a few more cup-holders would seem appropriate.
