Why This Upgrade Matters

Vulcan Alpha operates out of Nürburg, Germany, just minutes from the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Their entire product philosophy is built around making motorsport-grade carbon components that integrate into factory BMW interiors cleanly and intelligently.

On the G8X M3 and M4 CS / CSL, BMW gave us an incredible full carbon center console, but at the expense of cupholders. For anyone who daily drives or takes long trips, this missing comfort feature becomes noticeable very fast.

Vulcan Alpha’s solution is an OEM-plus approach that brings practicality back, without compromising the CS / CSL interior design language. The cupholder is constructed from directional 2x2 prepreg carbon to match BMW’s factory weave, installs cleanly with 3M tape, and even includes a USB-C extension for added convenience.

For owners who live with their cars and don’t treat them as garage furniture, this is how you get your usability back, without giving up the minimal, lightweight CS / CSL character.
