I guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Shepherd Conor I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I actually watched a few UA-cams on this...(this one was a little long). My local BMW dealer told me it would cost $100 for the new cupholder and $200 for installation. So I ordered the cupholder on Amazon and put it in myself (pretty good for a 65 year old woman). Took about 30 minutes and the total cost was $31.00
I have exactly the same model z4 as you and was sick of no cup holder. You inspired me to give it a go, this will be my first mod ever. Installed it today. It took about 20 minutes, in no small part thanks to this video, so a thousand thank-you's. Thought I'd give a few tips to others that really sped things along. Flat head screwdriver in on the left hand side will pop the front panel off easily. Used a normal screwdriver and a Swiss Army knife under the bottom screw to pull it forward as you unscrew, then Swiss Army pliers to extract the screw. SA pliers again, made gripping the top screw cover really easy. Top tip on using computer screws, thanks! The front cover didn't go on properly so the draw didn't pop out. For that, I put it on so it seemed to fit, pushed the draw in, then press the cover hard in and to the right and it just kind of popped in. Well thanks again, I'm looking forward to my next mod.
Wince - please throw away that electric screw driver. It's only good for rounding off screw heads. Invest in a decent set of screwdrivers. You're young, buy some good quality tools and you'll still have them when you collect your pension.
Purchased my Z4 last week. No cup holders ! Shock horror! So bought some off eBay and now thanks to you guys I know how to fit them.I'll be using a screwdriver though, not a drill. And I'll be fitting L&R
That's got to be one of the most entertaining cup holder install videos I have seen Joel and I think you father was very entertained by probably the most simple component on the Z4's lol and enjoy your new cup holder now Joel.
You have to enjoy the small victories! I remember how blown away I was when i completed installing a new radio in my E34, complete with torturous central grounding and happily found out that the original system was the upgaded unit with 10 speakers and an alpine amp installed. sounds incredible. I have yet to find a cup holder solution so I am quite envious! lol
Congrats Joel! You have arrived. You will be contacted soon by the Z4 Cupholder Society regarding your membership into the club and instructions for the secret handshake. Well done!
This the best video right now. I bought an z4 coupe from 2008 and it did not have cupholders. Somebody suggested that you could install them. Quick google search and this came up. I know what to do.
The infamous cup holder issue is now resolved with a very professional looking product.. for Z4 owners... it's good to have a dad Joel.... you two are great together. Notice how smart your dad is, check it out and break your car first maybe, so he knows how to get it working on his... :-) only joking... PS> My Z4 life starts next month when I go to collect it... happy days...:-)
Thanks for just how easy this essential piece of equipment is to replace! Wondering whether you bought aftermarket or the actual BMW replacement? 🤔 The current on in place is actually broken and deemed unusable. I actually wonder whether this is stock to the ‘06 Z4si or rather an aftermarket to begin with ??
Just ordered some cupholders from a guy on the Z4 forums breaking his. They’re remarkably expensive for what they are but since I bought the car with a broken plate there it’ll be both a practical and an aesthetic upgrade! Make the interior look a little less ratty on mine anyway
Thanks for uploading this, can’t wait to do this to mine. It’s been the bane of my life since I bought it not having a cup holder. The amount of drinks I’ve spilt in the footwell 🙄
I thought you were going to go all Tai Lopez "here in my garage here..." 😂 nice noises trying to pry the cover off as well man haha 👍😁 brill video, keep em coming man!
Another great video Joel. I couldn't even wait a week before having to get these for my Z4, you've done well to last so long. You need one for the passenger side though if only for the symmetry! They're on e bay for around 50 quid, just be careful getting in and out the car with them in the open position :)
Nice one Joel, glad you finally got that upgrade sorted! (and how generous of Tyler, top bloke!) Are you going to fit one on the passenger side as well? My cup holder/vent assembly simply rests in it's gaping hole to provide access to the OBD2 port that needs a new mounting clip. (yes, I do frequently read the error codes while I systematically sort out all the little niggles!)
Mine came with two cup holders (crazy, I know) but they’re so flimsy and cheap that I bought a cup holder unit that slips between the middle console and the passenger seat and I use that unless my wife’s riding with me.
The cupholders in my mom's z4 are fucked. One is stuck and the other you have to pull out manually and hope it doesn't get stuck when you push it back in. 10/10 cupholders.
Buzzing can now enjoy ur coffee mine has cup holders but the one on my side is broke also my roof has stopped working today put my roof down fine today then won't go back up nightmare
Just had my cup holders installed today and i found out they didnt come with the nice cover (with the cup logo).. So we had to modify the original cover, saw and grind off the clips and superglue them onto the cup holder.. I guess bmw will try to make money from everything, even cup holder 'covers'
£74 Fucking Quid!!!!!! The real sad thing is that I am pretty much certain I will be either buying or begging a pair for my Z4M. The only other interior mod I want to do, is somehow to wire in either an USB or Apple socket in the coin tray behind the handbrake, so I can plonk my iPhone in and have sound, plus charge when I am running my phone through the cars sound system. Also, today was the first day since I got my E85 M last November, where I was able to have the roof down pretty much all day and I wasn't frozen/required the heater on max! With regards to the cup holders, do you find the location of them a bit awkward, as it's pinned between the wheel and door. I normally would have a nice can of Monster Ripper located in my cup holder, but worried I couldn't take a swig while driving easily. Being left handed, it's going to be annoying to try and reach and drink without any spillage happening. Joel, did our crafty plan to get your dad to start looking to buy an E85 M work yet? I've been finding my dad is getting more and more lusty over my M. I think he might actually convince "Bribe" my mum into letting him get his own, which is ironic, because when I first told him I really wanted to get an E85/E86 Z4, he told me how he really didn't like/rate them. Now he has a pic of mine as his desktop wallpaper lol!
Thanks to Tyler for sending me the cup holder! I’ve included links to the parts in my description
Dude I'm loving this video. I'm glad to see it finally installed
Thanks my friend!

Haha nice one. Cheers for watching Joey
Thanks, Joel. I just got my Z4 and of course the cup holders were broken. I just replaced them yesterday with the help of your video.
Awesome, hope you enjoy the car
Congrats Joel! You have arrived. You will be contacted soon by the Z4 Cupholder Society regarding your membership into the club and instructions for the secret handshake. Well done!
This is a good one. You made me laugh here sir 😂
Thanks for editing a 7.5 hr. installation vlog into 12 minutes.. lol.. you two are mechanical marvels. Kudos to Tyler for the Z4 gift. :-)
Glad you found it useful mate !
This the best video right now. I bought an z4 coupe from 2008 and it did not have cupholders. Somebody suggested that you could install them. Quick google search and this came up. I know what to do.
Amazing. Exactly why I made the video, glad it helped and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this Joel, just fitted mine and after watching this, it only took me 15 minutes to fit both sides!
Does it matter what year the car is for this to work? I have a 2004 z4
nice addition, my car has the both right and left cup holders but they rattle so much, I might be tempted to buy new OEM ones if yours hold up well.
Hey Raul, thanks for watching - all good so far!
What a guy Tyler is! Props to him. Good video man! Keep up the good work
Yeah what a guy indeed! Thanks dude

What Z4 are you getting?
@@CarsofGlasgow I am lucky a 35is...
@@Tracertme Very nice, hope you enjoy it! I have the 25i :)
I just broke mine not too long ago. Thanks to you I won't have to figure out how to replace it :)
Awesome dude,
Glad you found this helpful

I must say, I do believe that may have been the absolute best cup holder video I have ever watched.
Thanks - were looking for a cupholder as we just bought a z4

Oof
Would this cup holder work for a 2004 z4 ?
Picked up my 2005 Z4 yesterday and this is the first job I’ll be doing 😊 I’m also a new subscriber 👍
Brilliant, haven’t seen a pop out cup holder since the early noughties, takes me back to an Audi I had from new
Haha, it’s pretty retro!
It was about time, i got both left and right cupholders now, anyways, great instructional vid
Ashley De witt thanks Ashley
I thought you were going to go all Tai Lopez "here in my garage here..." 😂 nice noises trying to pry the cover off as well man haha 👍😁 brill video, keep em coming man!
Haha could you imagine. Thanks Dan mate

I've got cupholders and have yet to come across a cup it holds securely. The diameter is too big and the depth too shallow..
I just bought a 05' Z4 that already had cup holders installed. None of my cups actually stay in though....???
Kristopher Fraley same with my 2003. The arm just swings all the way out so every cup falls out
Haha yeah, the cup holders functionality is pretty terrible 😂
Nice one Joel, glad you finally got that upgrade sorted! (and how generous of Tyler, top bloke!) Are you going to fit one on the passenger side as well? My cup holder/vent assembly simply rests in it's gaping hole to provide access to the OBD2 port that needs a new mounting clip. (yes, I do frequently read the error codes while I systematically sort out all the little niggles!)
Hi Alun, yeah very generous of him. Will probably just keep the drivers side one for now!
Very interesting! Especially because the cup holder mechanism in my Z4 has failed and is due for replacement. The Amazon link = Genius...
Thanks for watching Blane - haha yeah, I figure people watching this might want to know where it’s from, so trying to save the questions!
Essential mods! 👏🏻👏🏻 good video man 👊🏻
Cheers dude

I’ve got one in mine Joel it’s a bit flimsy to be honest however had I not had one in I probably wouldn’t bother 😬 lol enjoy anyway mate great vid lol
Thanks Andy, it is a little flimsy, although I’d say better than nothing!
It's Joel your right mate at least it stops the problem of coffee everywhere lol 👍
Congrats on the cup holder!
Cheers Jacob
Thanks Joel for sharing such a historical moment with us, I have also clicked the historical subscribe button!
Omg amazing! I've so got to do this. Can't love without my cupholders
Thanks dude! We buy a 07' z4 with 40k km to my girl and there is everything but NO cupholders! Install looks pretty easy.
Yeah it’s pretty easy to do!
Dads laugh is exactly like Clanks in Ratchet and Clank 😁
The cupholders in my mom's z4 are fucked. One is stuck and the other you have to pull out manually and hope it doesn't get stuck when you push it back in. 10/10 cupholders.
Well, it's about bloody time that was sorted, lol, well done mate.

Great video! I was thinking of doing this to my E85 :)
Should have tested with drink of some sort. Mine opens and closes, it just doesn't hold anything 😂
Haha, plenty of time to do that! Mine closes fine, although it is brand new ...
Nice vid mate
Your dad is ace! Would love cup holders in mine but they are pretty expensive 🤑
What are the prices?
Seems like a similar design to the E39's. Every time I see one its broken. :(
Haha, mine is working! For now anyway ...
£74 Fucking Quid!!!!!!

My cup holders are so trash and don’t hold onto anything. They’re pretty much pointless.
Your dad looks so young. I need fit two cup holders. Missing. God knows why
3 weeks later haha 👍
it´s so annoying, you basically have no possibility to store a cup
would love to install both.....but £150 to hold my drinks....thats bmw taking the p%^s!!
Z4 cup holders are junk and easily break... I bet yours have broken already!
20 mins to do both sides!!….proper easy job to do!…. Don’t know why these two were messing about so much!!🤔
