Cup Holders Insulated?

Even if they're not, they still get a lot less hot than my R56's.

Why not ask to cool it too in summer days?

Perhaps it's a feature that can be enabled by coding.

For bottle drinks I just keep it in the glove box. The A/C keeps them nicely chilled. This only applies to '14 and '15 models. I believe the air conditioned glove box was discontinued after that.

Amazing how it knows to keep some stuff hot and other stuff cold. German Technology?

My March 2015 build F56s doesn't have the chilled glove box. I Looked for the vent, but it has a cap and it's fixed. Won't move. What's yours look like?

Mine has an adjustable vent cover so it can be turned off if you want. The vent pipe that feeds the glove box actually fell out one day and I didn't have a clue what it was. Turns out that was a common occurrence that was easily remedied by a trip to the dealer.
