Replace parts 6 and 9 with 7, 10 and 11.

Z4@Phuket-

I replaced my Part 7 with Part 6 in the diagram above and would be happy to sell that to you if that's what would work for you. PM me if interested.

I'd love one on my car, I loathe the centre arm rest one. I think the one in my 6 was great....

I hate the center arm cup holders, I don't like the armrest being open when I drive.

Exactly!! It doesn't feel natural when it's up and putting a drink in it, is almost like having to force it in and spilling it....

One thing I miss is the weather you guys have, I would be cleaning my car every day. We have had 2 weeks of rain in London. One minute sun, the next monsoon showers.....floods everywhere!!

I've retro'd the armrest cup holders and they are rubbish, it'll hold 1 cup well but again, no space to keep your arm and the ipod cable has to be unplugged.

Mind you, given the average state of UK roads (in SE at least), a cup holder would be a waste of time..........

Hi, I have just ordered a 2014 Z4, but did not specify extended Storage. I did however, specify Professional Nav and based on that diagram, it looks like in order to have the phone mount, I also get the cupholders by default. Can anyone confirm that?

In addition, can anyone confirm that the latest build Z4's are coming with iDrive 4.2? I know the Z4 doesn't get the touch controller but is the Head unit the latest (has the faster processor and the screen transitions?)

Thanks in advance.
