Max saving is only 60 quid but might be of interest to someone.

I'm thinking of getting a cupholder, tenner off.

Here's a link to all the z4 parts available.

It works quite well if you can find some tyres that you need. You can use the code 3 times so I split my order last time for 2x single rears and 1x pair of fronts saving £110 :thumbsup:

Brilliant tips, both of you - thanks.

@steve_naieve - did you find a cup holder? I've been searching within the qualifying accessories but no joy yet... I'm after an E85 driver side insert (or other)

***update*** bought this (picture shows left side silver, but I ahve to assume it's just a library pic, and they get 5*) link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194194974397

Great find, same price as the aftermarket one I was about to snag.

Wasn’t in my search results. :thumbsup:

Ah they don’t send to Northern Ireland. I wonder if it’s worth having it sent to my family in Manchester, or if the pattern part is just as good?

FWIW, the drink/cup holder I bought was impeccable (i.e. genuine part from Germany), but believe it or not, it didn't include the cover plate. Fortunately I'd retained the blank, so all it required was a few minutes with a Dremmel to smooth off the fixing lugs, and some Araldite to make it a perfect fit with perfect results, but jeez...! Of course, entirely down to User Error, for not seriously believing that the small print they include, meant what it obviously does. As for the torx bolt - small self-tapping screw (just don't use one too big, or you'll crack the retaining plastic female join).

"Only in combination with:
-- Cover drink holder, right (schwarz ) 51 45 7056652 1
-- Torx bolt for plastic material (ISA L=10MM )65 75 8235255 1"

That's a note to tell you all the parts you need to order...not a list of what's included in the purchase.

Same when I bought LCI lights for my F31...it was £300 for each light, but you also had the 'Only in combination with...' note to remind you that you needed a modified wiring.

Thanks for the head's up.

My aftermarket part arrived and doesn't come with any plate.
I only have the existing blanking plate so will have to order one or fettle the existing one.

Steve - if you decide on the latter, I ‘flexed’ 2 of the plastic sides of the 3-sided bit, and then used a Dremmel sander to shave the side lugs and 3rd remaining edge. I did same where I wanted the join to make sure the adhesive bonded properly.

Another (after) thought ref you being in NI, if ever that’s an issue for you, LMK should you need a UK delivery address 👌

Cheers, I ended up ordering the part. Bit of a rip off but oh well. Done now!
