They also don't have the wide open spaces to take a 10 hour drive. When my daughter was attending GCU we would drive to PHX an back in one day. That was about 14 hours with stops and getting her re-settled in.

Having had a few E's, their cup holders were 100 times worse than what is in the F10. I do believe that cup holders are an afterthought for BMW for the US market. It is not normal to be cruising at 220 kph + on the A6 in Germany with a drink at the ready.

And I would imagine most Europeans have no idea what it's like to drive 10 hours in the same state, like Texas!!
