New owner alert!

[Mokuso]

Hey all,

Happy new owner of a 2013 E89 20i here! Picked it up on Friday and took the oppertunity to take it out on some country roads yesterday with the roof down even though it wasn't the warmest, loved it!

Here's a pic.

Quick boring question for you all that I can't seem to find a simple answer to.

Cup holders! There aren't any! It seems that US owners can get an official BMW or something? I'm in the UK though and I'm wondering what the best solution is. I have literally ZERO practical skills so if at all possible I'd like to avoid anything that requires even basic DIY skills.

Thanks in advance!

Thom

Hi and Welcome, can't see the pic though, did you use the add files button (btm LHS)
Only cup holders I have are under the arm rest (not that I ever use them) - or are you talking about the dash mounted type?

Hi & Welcome

I bought one of these, very handy on a long trip

I have found that this would also serve as an alternative to Rustys solution:

Thanks both, appreciated, I'll have a looksie.

Also to the first person who replied I don't have cup holders under the arm rest either.

Here's another photo as the first didn't work.

I sometimes wonder if there is not the occasional E89 buyer looking for there sports car itch to be scrached, that should have bought an E85.

No such worries this time. First question, cup holders. :lol:

You clearly bought the right Z4. :wink: and what a beauty it is too. 8) Welcome to the mad house. :wink:

Hi and welcome aboard.

Your Z4 looks great in that colour combination.

Two different sized cup holders under the arm rest. Only realised they were different sizes after removing the rubbers at the bottom to find some fixing screws and then wondered why the 1st one I tried to re-fit seemed to be kinking!

Nice looking E89 OP. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

I thought all E89's came with cupholders under the armrest? I was 'lucky' in that mine came with what looks like the genuine BMW additional cupholder next to the passenger seat, although passengers can knock it if not careful.

Welcome to the forum, your car has the same colour combo as my Z4
