Cupholder question G63

Hey guys I'm finally taking delivery of my G63 amg in about 2 weeks. Super excited. Designo Matte black w all black designo diamond stitched leather, black wheels and an Amg sport steering wheel (don't see that option too often!) I know this is trivial, and the only beverage inside my car is a bottle of water, but just curious where do you guys put it while driving?

I noticed there wasn't a cup holder in the center console but there is one on the passenger side as well as behind the front seats on the floor but wasn't sure if that was easy to access while behind the wheel.

I'm about 6ft and will have the seat far back, so maybe it will be convenient.

Any ideas? Don't flame me for having such a silly question for such a SICK vehicle.

Lol yeah it's just that one in the front. Their are two round slots for cups when you open the glove box. I think they're more for when you're stationary. I wouldn't use them while driving

Thanks man! Just emailed the guy it's $405 and it's only available in CF. looks good though and a great option for someone looking for a CF cup holder besides I'm sure it makes a difference having a super light weight CF cup holder in the G lol.

I have the black trim so would look weird.

Wow! That is one expensive cupholder! I had no idea. I have the black trim as well. I guess we'll keep looking.

I don't find it to be a huge problem to use the cupholder on the passenger side, its just difficult while driving rather than stopped at a light.

I think it's even easier to use the rear cupholders while driving.

Congrats! Looks sharp.

Just wondering, did you delete the push bar upfront or keep it?

Thanks man. I kept it and it looks great. Being chrome it breaks up the matte a bit. I'm keeping it on. Figure to leave it and can always take it off if I feel like it. The only chrome I'm going to black out is the chrome around the spare.

Thanks John, I love the truck, I knew I would, but love it even more than anticipated. Yes I purchased it from Tampa, I bought my E63 there as well as probably 10 other cars over the years. They treat me and the rest of us at my company like royalty. Service dept is awesome too as you have probably saw.
