Extra cup holder

clydebmwz4 · 08-23-2009, 04:57 AM

does this removable cup holder come with the extended storage package ? is it only for US market or also for European market ? cheers

clydebmwz4 · 08-23-2009, 07:40 AM

here is the cup holder I'm referring to ...

Never came with mine (UK) you just get the 2 holders under the armrest.

MilitaryE89 · 08-23-2009, 11:00 AM

it came with mine. i have a US spec though and as far as i know its standard for us. real handy, but for the euro market i imagine it will be an add on. sorry man

clydebmwz4 · 08-23-2009, 01:09 PM

I think its not possible then for the EU market as this cup holder is removable (the passenger side of the armrest comes with a hole socket to which the cup holder attaches. That way you can remove it and put it on when you want.

However, without the socket, the cup holder cannot attach and I surely won't be drilling any holes for a cup holder.

JohnT do you have the extended storage option on your e89 ???

Looks like you guys in the UK got ripped off.

Everything else looks likes it's mirrored except that little slot. Too bad because it looks like a handy device.

It seems like it might be an easy mod to buy the part and put it in yourself, but who want to take a chance.

great pics again. is there anyone from Belgium or rest of Europe who has the extended storage option on his e89 ??? it seems uk users do not have the slot, US users do have it, what about the rest of Europe ???

jannisa · 08-23-2009, 04:07 PM

In Greece afaiac the extended storage is preselected as standard, but the cup holder is an extra. To be honest I could not believe how clever and sufficient the storage trays are everywhere in the car, but I had the cup holder installed about 2 weeks ago and really made things unbelievable easier and convenient. It took about 1 hour to install and looks like a charm.

jannisa · 08-23-2009, 04:10 PM

... and there is no slot to be waiting, they open the wood/alu panel and drill. Ouch but worth it

Well, there you go, clydebmwz4, they can put it in for you. I had a feeling they could because the holder appears to be a separate piece of plastic inserted into the side of the console.

However, the cup hold itself would have to be available in a mirrored form to work from the left side of the console. Good luck finding that part.

I actually prefer not having it to be honest, and I don't really like the look of the "attachable" cup holder.

Yep, I've got the ext. storage option, no cupholder however.

clydebmwz4 · 08-24-2009, 04:16 AM

do you have the slot however yabbanoname ???

if not, it could be a BMW Accessory for the European market. What a pain ...

milhouse · 08-25-2009, 12:22 PM

the first picture is my car i think and i have a left hand drive and from Norway! (where did you find it?)So it is from the wrong side. I have the storage package and will look tomorrow!

There is a spot for it in the glovebox. To maximize glove box space, I keep mine attached to the console at all times.

If that's your photos - thanks. Whenever I see some cool pix I copy them. Not sure where I got those exactly because I've collected a couple hundred or so since I took an interest in the Z4 and am figuring out what options I want.
