By Mark4 do you mean the G29 or an E89?
Liverpool
Mk4 is just the version of the armrest, not the car!
LeatherZ are out of business, so they're only available 2nd hand.
This was the Mk4 on my Z4MC; got black as it hides the dirt, and they didn't do champagne version anyway; took it off at some point to do handbrake repair and lost it (or gave it away?)...
Here's the thread about it from about 5 years ago...

I had a LeatherZ one for years - until I needed the handbrake cable replacing and had to strip it off.
Sold it on here some time back.

Wow that's a considerable extension compared with the horse shoe shaped piece of leather that comes as standard
Never got in the way of my elbow, but others are lankier than me.
I had it as it was more comfortable - at a more similar height to the door armrest height - on my regular 200-400 mile trips when I didn't need to have both hands on the wheel.
I have one in Imola. It's fine, nothing fantastic, somewhere to put your arm but the storage is minimal. The way they are installed I would think would leave a marks so dont want to uninstall mine.
Not something I would be specifically chasing as they are "ok". It works well with the OE tall gear stick but I would think a stubby would be uncomfortable to use.
They finally went out of business in January and were based out of US.

I have a zhp knob which is a bit shorter than stock.
I had a double cup holder printed like the one in the link below and I ended up not using it as my elbow would touch on shifting into any 2 4 6 changes which I found distracting when pressing on. By the look of the pics of the arm rest I don't think this would work with a shorter shifter. Pity I think it looks great.
Perhaps someone with a zhp or other less tall shift knob could chime in.

Drinks caddy for BMW Z4 E85/E86 to be mounted between the seats in front of the cubby hole. The bottom mount should fit snugly in the hole and the front of the caddy should rest on the horizontal handbrake surround.
Ive got one of these cupholders and a zhp, no issues with my elbow. Really handy for roadtrips.I have a zhp knob which is a bit shorter than stock.

They are attached with double-sided sticky pads. Mines been in nearly 20 years so will probably leave marks.
