Hi all,

I just purchased a 2008 BMW Z4 E85. I have a few questions:

1. The cup holder in this vehicle doesn't hold my cups (I get coffee every morning from Burger King) and the cup just falls right out. Is there a cup holder that would work with my model? I prefer something in the center console, over the Emergency brake if possible. I've searched Ebay, Amazon, etc but all they do is sell the aftermarket cup holders like the one I already have and the one I found that jams between seats (not ideal) says it isn't compatible with the E85.

2. The passenger side control won't allow the window to roll up. It rolls down no matter which way you flip the button. I've tried "reprogramming" it by rolling the window down and holding the button down for 5 seconds, but the next step says roll it up but you can't roll it up from that side (which was the problem in the first place). So I'm wondering if there's something I can do to fix that.

3. I like the stereo but it doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity. I've researched some options but I don't want some separate thing I have to change radio stations on that plugs into my Aux port. Is there another good option anyone can recommend?

Thanks in advance!
 
Welcome aboard.
1/ I bought an aftermarket cup holder clips into vents works a treat from eBay
2/ sounds like the button is fooked change it.
3/ visor mounted Bluetooth device, or a parrot. Both good options.
Hope this helps.

Hi and welcome.

The cup holders need the arms pushing in to hold the cup. It’s smazing how many people don’t realise this.

Regarding the BT, if you are in the USA (think you might be for some reason or other) then your car is pre wired, so would just need a ULF module. Not sure if mic and antenna are already fitted though.
