I test drove 3 different BMW's, and all 3 dealers did NOT warn me about this issue- they all saw me put the water bottle in the cupholders to test. So BMW designed the cupholders to be used ONLY with plastic or styrofoam, and chose to not warn buyers of this fact? That is not environmentally-friendly at all....but again, many thanks for the explanations- I guess I am going to stop using the cooling function altogether.

I think you will be ok since the whole assembly gets replaced. They replaced mine because of rattles so I think you will be fine in the end.
