Video review on the aftermarket JL Germany manufactured front and rear cup holders for the BMW 5 series E39 body style. I installed these cup holders on my 1997 BMW 540i, the car currently has 240,115km and the date these were installed was October 2, 2014. This is the first time I have purchases these cup holders from this manufacturer, so I don't have any previous experience with their products. Overall I found that these cup holders are great quality and the price is excellent as well. Finish is great and matches the interior very well. A couple differences I found were the different coloured gears in the inside (possibly made with a different material), the front cup holder fits tighter on the sides compared to the OEM cup holder, and the perforated rubber tabs on the front cup holder. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer or where I purchased these products from. These cup holders were purchased from http://bavauto.com. Prices may vary between retailers.
