The Holy Grail! (a flask that fits R50/R52/R53 cupholders)

I just bought this on Amazon, and it fits! It's a little tall to fit under the switch guards, but it stays put.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074T7DB73

The link goes to various sizes and colors. Be sure to order the 12 oz one (360 mL.) The only downside is that, despite the really complex lid assembly, there's no way to sip from it with the lid on. You have to unscrew it to drink.

You just need to get one with pop up lid. I have a different one I use in the Mini. I have the Mini Fini.

The Mini Fini cup holder is designed specifically for gen 1 Mini. It was shipped with the early 05 but too many people complained so MINI switched to the crappier one. The Mini Fini pivots so you can stow it inboard or outboard. It is very well designed, as with all their products.
