Z4 OEM cupholders, global sell out!

Post by Geezah » Thu Aug 21, 2014 10:48 pm

Anyone know where I can get a drivers side OEM replacement cupholder? Sopers won't take an order as they can't give a delivery date, BMW Direct have refunded my Paypal as they're in the same position. Looks like BMW may have run out of these completely! :(
2008 Z4 2.0i SE E85, Space Grey, 18" 241 staggered rims, 255/35/18, 225/40/18, 2 tone anthracite/silverstone leather Msport heated seats, M sport MFC Steering wheel, Bluetooth, Comfort pack, Tracker, Automatic climate control, Gaptech, Blah, blah.

The brand new pair I have will be going up in value then.

At least these won't need spraying black :lol:

Sold by BMW direct so guessing they will refund as above.

Modified roof covers are much more controversial though :D

I've just ordered from Amazon, let's see what happens... The passenger side was not from BMW and will take much longer to get to me. Also has a HUGE delivery charge :x

...however the passenger side one is the one I really want so hopefully it'll be worth it.

The seller on Amazon is Eluka Inc - delivery charge is £11, must be coming from the States. Says they have left and right cup holders, but delivery is between 3rd and 23rd September for my passenger side :cry:

I've been waiting 4 weeks for an Ashtray insert from BMW, on back order still no sign of it.

Now why are you guys buying this cup holders and putting them in? Eventually they'll start to squeak and rattle and will become one part that you'll wanna get rid of or at least do something with them so the cup holders will "shut up" with their "hrrrrr", "squeak", "ckckckck", ... :fuelfire: I dunno why BMW used the cheapest plastic and mechanism for this cup holders. Even LEGO has better.
