Do you mean a cupholder like the passenger’s footwell cupholder?

I'll follow this one as well....
I got E89 m 2016 and no cup holder, in the armband in the middle there is a place to put a cup but I found it not comfortable.

If you have the mounting slot on the passenger side of the console, there is a cup holder that plugs in (There's also a slot in the glove box to store it). It's shown as item 1 in the attached image from Realoem. It's part number 51169173501. (That is not the current price.) If there's just a little cover there, you'll need to remove it and install the housing, part number 51169176178.

Any other solution will be aftermarket.

When I bought my 2015 Z4, I had the same issue. Built-in cupholders under the center armrest proved not very useful. Found an old forum reference about a slot in the glove box that holds a detachable cupholder that may come with the car when new. Looked in the glove box and there it was! Original owner had never removed it. Fits in the slot in the passenger side of the center console of my right hand drive Z. 🙂. It's the same item referenced by GerryC above and I see it's currently being sold on eBay.

You can even order the parts of the the slot and add it. Dit that.
