There aren't any composite body panels on our Z4s. Unless of course you've replaced what the factory put on there with some aftermarket bits .

The hood and trunk lid are aluminum, and this is also a carry over from the E85 - they were aluminum on those as well. The folding hard top is also aluminum, and thin aluminum at that.

What I wasn't aware of (and seems to be speculated/confirmed about in this thread) is that the side panels containing the turn indicator and Roundel are also aluminum.
