Cup Holder Dimensions?

Cincinnatus · 06-10-2019, 10:14 AM

Asking for a friend...

Does anyone know what the cup holder dimensions are for an '18 M4? I've volunteered to 3D print a holder that will fit into the car for smaller diameter cans, such as Red Bull.

I'd need the bottom diameter, top diameter and height of the holder. If you happen to have an accurate measuring tool (caliper, or decent ruler) perhaps you'd be willing to measure yourself and PM me the sizing?

Thanks in advance!

No accurate tools. Not everyone has a decent caliper.

Seems like person you are doing favor for could go to Home Depot or Lowes considering everything.

I would say the standard 32 oz paper coke cup is snug in the cupholder...but not positive.

I purchased my "M3" specifically for the cup holders, they're niiiiiiiice

I just keep a coozie in the car to make water bottles fit snuggly without rattling around. I haven’t encountered the Red Bull issue since I’m not a Subie guy.

But they have an M4? Head down to Harbor Freight and pick up a digital caliper yourself. Inexpensive and you would probably get a lot of use out of it if you 3D print often. Would you really trust someone else giving you a one-time accurate measurement?

I'm actually trying to figure out the same thing, been trying to find the right size for a while now to fit 12oz Red Bull
