E89 has a ski load-through option!

For people who may buy a Z4 as their only car and also intend to use for winter skiing trips this is awesome news!
Neither Boxter, Cayman not SLK have this. Carrying skis in a roof-mounted ski rack sucks, obviously.
Bravo BMW.

BMW is touting that this pass through will enable 2 46inch golf bags to be carried by the new z4 with the roof closed and 1 bag with the roof open.

Are you sure it isn't the other way round? There's typically more space when the roof is closed/up than when it's open/down.

I wonder how much it's going to incroach on the interior though - it's one thing in a 2+2 to have things poking through into the back seats, but in a 2 seater I can see that getting a bit crowded.

the only thing i'd want poking through in the Z4, should I get one, is the occasional female nipple due to a wind swept blouse

Unfortunately it will only fit ski's with a max. length of 170cm. I don't know what that length is in the US metric system. But in this way I would not be able to put my ones in it

Interestingly, length of skis in USA is expressed in metric units - centimeters. With the new generation of shaped skis, which tend to be shorter, 170cm is sufficient for most.
