Certainly not an afterthought - quite a predominant one I would imagine:
For us in the UK, the E90, E60 cup holders were brilliant weren't they? Any can, fast food drink, bottle, etc, would fit snug and secure. Plus it was cool the way they came out the dash!
But the Americans - the were greatly displeased, because as we know, they do everything bigger. Food, drink, people, cars ("trucks"), sport, etc...
So, what was normal to them drink wise did not fit the E90's European cup holders and my god did they kick up a fuss. So much so, BMW heard them and has made the F30 cup holders large enough to accommodate 2 fat bastards of a drink. So, as seen in many American F30 reviews, they are now happy (it's surprising how many reviewers make comment to them!!) and instead the Europeans are disgruntled. Being British though, we're not ones to kick up a fuss about such insignificant things and instead find other uses for them, such as storing the key!
