Default 06 GS 430 Cup Holder

Hi Guys,
Just traded the 745i back to a reliable Lexus 06' GS 430. Not quite the power, but better ride and and more comfortable.
My questions is there supposed to be some sort of foam bottom to the cup holder on the right side. Mine is a hard plastic bottom with no divider, so my drink slides back sometimes when I take off. Is there an accessory I can buy for this?
Thanks

it looks like you're missing the divider piece , I'm sure you can buy one for cheap at a Lexus dealer .

Its interesting you say the gs has a better ride than the 7. I always thought the 7 had a much more comfortable ride due to its size and weight compared to the much more agile gs. hm to each his own.

i actually feel the 7 is quite a bit stiffer as well and the gs has better ride

on the other hand, ls and s class have better rides than gs.

it's ok to me, in my eyes bmw is about performance

hm must be my wheels then haha. I think the tourmalines make my ride a bit more harsh. I feel small bumps alot more than I do in the 7
