I have these in my car. Fits in any standard single din radio slot. Kind of chinsy but it does the job. Doesn't get in the way if you have a short shifter. With a stock shifter it gets in the way of shifts just a tiny bit. (like half a cm interference)
Search single din cupholder on amazon, they're about $10
For people with the rear bin spec trans tunnel/center console panel the extended rear portion seems like a good place to put a holesaw to and put some 3d printed inserts for DIY cupholders that don't get in the way of anything.
I've seen people do the cup holder in the center console, that's a good option too. It's a little awkward to get to it but it's doable. You don't have a lot of depth there. Big trick is just finding some good trim piece to go in the hole to act as the cup holder. There is carpet under that console so if you just have the hole trimmed out the cup would be sitting on carpet which is fine.
Here is a pic of the one I installed from https://www.ultimatecupholders.com. It is a BMW part and slips under the center console. I added a strip of metal to secure it to one of the console posts. Works well and is of good quality.

Looks like an excellent design. Which version/model did you get?
Tried to go back thru my emails but the order confirmation does not list the item. So, I don't exactly recall which one I ordered. It was most likely the BMW Z4 one as I thought that was the closest dimensionally to the FD, but I can't be 100% certain. Frankly, I think most any of them will work as you will need to add on a strip of metal to secure the cupholder to one of the console anchor bolts, meaning the height of the cupholder is not super important as you need to so some slight modifications anyway.
