More than once in prevous cars, I've forgotten about a fast food cup that was empty except for ice, left in the car. The ice melted, eventually got soggy through the cup bottom, and water sat in the cupholder.

Thank you for the reply. It helps to have the validation that I'm not going crazy, and that I should be able to use the cup holders without risk of a safety failure. I also live in Arizona where lots of condensation can easily accumulate on the outside of an iced beverage in the summer heat and drip into a cup holder. I can see this as being a big issue for anyone with an X7 - which is a family car meant to hold children who can easily cause little spills.
