I know this isn't an exciting or maybe favorable topic but my 10 year old always has a water bottle and there is no where to keep one in the back seat. Has anyone found an aftermarket solution?

I already bought and tried it. Unfortunately it's not even close and found it's not worth trying to modify.

Why not just use the two cup holders in the armrest?

This is on a M2 forum, which has the same interior as the G42 M240i. The M240i has cup holders in the rear, pull down armrest.

Good for you guys, another thing the G42 has that the G87 doesn’t (like the 360 camera and various interior colour options).

OMG I had no idea!

[Prince Thundernight.]

According to the BMW website, it does…🤷🏻‍♂️

Regardless, if OP had it, he wouldn’t be asking about it, would he?

Well that’s what confused me. Perhaps he just didn’t realize..?

OMG BMW, how much more can they remove?!
Wonder if it has been removed from the G42 as well?

Mines a ‘23 G42.
That screen grab I made was from the BMW M2 configurator—guess they’re not too bothered about accuracy.

How far/long are you driving that he can't just hold the water bottle?

[J-RO]

Since noone sits in the back seat of my car it really a non issue for me.

With the ski pass through and a trunk monkey, you could just have the monkey hold the cups and pass them to the rear passengers when needed

BMW thinks of everything.

Multi-use trunk monkey option optimizes the banana budget - security device, child minder and barista, all in one.

Oooh where can I get one?

My 24 (Canada) does not have an armrest.

Also looking for cupholder solution....

[Prince Thundernight.]

Purchase the armrest/passthrough section from BMW, or an eBay seller?

Really, mine won't make coffee, it just pees in a cup. I'll take it to the dealer for reprogramming.

2024 G42 here, and there is still a cupholder in the fold down armrest that folds down from the pass through. It is amazing how much stuff disappeared from the 2022 to the 2023, but the cup holder was not one of them.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same situation.

Unfortunately, I have not. I saw some guys 3D printing versions for other model BMWs but I haven't seen one for ours yet. I was hoping that in time, someone would make one.
