With the roof up its a PITA to get in & out. That said have had BMW 2 door cars since 2004. If I had to count on my fingers how many times the back seat was occupied by a human instead of a few dogs I might still have a few fingers left over. Current SUV is an Expedition MAX I believe an SUV should be a big box with a strong motor & awd with high & low ranges. Have had Expedition XL's & Suburbans with a large engine option as my primary people, stuff & trailer mover. Usually keep them about 10 years. The Expedition came early as my few years old Suburban died in high water surge at the beach during a hurricane. During the parts shortage there were no Suburbans to buy. Local FORD dealer had two Expedition MAX's on the lot. Cashed the Chevys insurance check & drove one home.

In our case, there's just the two of us and we're retired. My wife loves the X5 as it's big enough but not too big. I'm happy with the Z4 as it's a convertible and it has enough room to handle day-to-day transportation and shopping.

My car has no headrest or seatbelts in the middle rear section of the seat. The M8 the other line with a convertible is a split with the coupe rated at 5 the convert at 4. That said 5 seats is considered very optimistic in the M8 Coupe. Reality its a 4 seater. Additionally the M8 convertible has less rear head & leg room than my car. Rear seat is much like the rear seat 911, good for the puppies.

At least the M8 has the cup holders in the right spot. The cup holders in the Z4 are useless.

Must have been a design limitation, cause putting cup holders in the same location as the 8 series would be idea, wireless phone charger should have been in armrest area |

Since the Z4 is a derivative of that car maybe a console swap with a wrecking yard piece might work.

I'd be thrilled with no cup holders if i could remove them from the z to make that storage area more usable.

I had this same setup in my M340. These aren't perfect either, because if you had a taller cup they wouldn't fit.

Back in 2004 when they released the new body 6 series convertible there was a removable cup holder that attached to the passenger side of the console which would have been an ideal solution for the G29. |

Even if you are driving alone and you only have the passenger side of it open you can’t comfortably rest your right arm on the top of the console. 👎🏻
