Don't panic people... 2 cup holders are concealed inside the centre arm rest.

Based purely on looks and none on driving it....comprehensive...... :roll:
Nobody is making any comments on how good it it may not be or may be to drive because all we have to go on is the reviews from websites who may or may not be impartial.
Pictures leaked from a Belgium website with or without BMW giving permission? Perhaps they had to release the pictures before the doctor took the bandages off the BMW executives eyes and revealed it in all it's horror or was it a deliberate marketing ploy to generate interest in what they already realise is a design mistake?
This forum hasn't exactly been alight with comments about the G29. It wasn't like that when the E89 was first unveiled. Maybe there's fewer users on here now or maybe there's not the interest in this car for many reasons too numerous to list on here.
It's an ugly car. A very ugly car but quite typical of where BMW is going with each generation of car losing appeal whether it's increasing the size, decreasing the size or making what may or may not be good changes across the range in the name of progress while trying to invent a new niche market. It's been like that for years and it'll continue. It's not just BMW that are doing it though. Anyone seen the cartoon rear end of a Honda Civic recently? Name that Audi from the front? Name that Ford from the front?
There'll be no surprise to me if the front end of the G29 gets a face lift sooner rather that later and the headlights replaced.
Personally I'm waiting for the self driving offroader, two seater convertible, turbo charged, hybrid, SUV, Pickup, Estate with a hardtop along with 800 bhp, 500 mpg minimum and both front and rear engined along with an option of no engine. It also needs to be amphibious and run on fresh air along with diesel, petrol and chewing gum! I'm sure Audi or BMW will have one rattled together in a few days for this new niche market!
But back to the G29! Cup holders. That's me sold on it then, who do I give the deposit to? Haud me back!
RIP the Z4.
Killed by design 2018 but it was dead long before the G29 came along!
