And we've never seen photos of these in Orion Silver have we?

Still to come:
JB4
SmartTop Mod
Gloss Black Kidneys
Black vinyl on lower front bumper section

I have new black OEM grills in box (never installed) and JB4 if you are intersted. I just switched from JB4 to ESS and I decided I did not want the grills after I purchased from NJ dealer. Best, Shashi.

park,
Thanks for the pics, you just convinced me to paint my roll bar covers flat black. They look so much better now, they just about disappear.

Thanks,

Very nice. Can any of these non-M E89s fit the E86M fitment Volk wheels and tuck them with a 2 inch front and rear drop?

LOL, no 2 is conservative. My M3 had a 3 inch drop front and rear so dialed it back a bit more conservative with the Z4. Thanks for the info.

this is going to sound like a dumb question but what roll bars are painted?

The e89 is pretty low to begin with. Its a diff car, you cant compare it to what you dropped your M3.

H&R springs only drop it .75"

This is coming from a guy who believes theres no such thing as too low lol my last car laid frame.

Roll Bars are the metal bars right behind the driver and passenger seat (there are no dumb questions only dumb answers so no worries).

Roadstergal was referring to the plastic roll bar covers. When she originally bought her car, she also purchased an extra set of the plastic cover. She had the silver side painted a different color (black?) and then had the dealer replace it with her stock covers.

The 1st pic shows the actual "roll bar" with no cover. They are not what she was talking about. The 2nd pic shows the 3 parts of the cover. The part with the arrow is the roll bar cover that is normally painted silver which she had painted and re-installed by the dealer.

In addition to what Rolf-Dieter said, Roadstergal was referring to the plastic roll bar covers. When she originally bought her car, she also purchased an extra set of the plastic cover. She had the silver side painted a different color (black?) and then had the dealer replace it with her stock covers.

The 1st pic shows the actual "roll bar" with no covers on them. They are not what she was talking about. The 2nd pic shows the 3 parts of the cover. The part with the arrow is the bar cover that is normally painted silver and she had that one painted and re-installed by the dealer.

The ones I have seen on the dealer lots look pretty high to start with. Just like the Z4M.
H&R are about the same on the Z4M, way to conservative.

You actually can compare the E46 M3 and E92 M3 with the Z4MC and NON-M E89 Z's. I am not here to debate that. Been and worked on all but the E89s' but at this point may go Porsche or Lambo anyway, just asking incase I want to pick up a newer Z4. Not sure if I want an E89 since there is no M.

Saw your pic. Must totally be east coast. I am a west coast guy. lol That is pretty low. I like it. I had my NSX about that low and drove it that way so been there myself. I had HKS Coilovers, Moton, Ohlins, Tein, Spoon, Mugen, Aragosta, etc....
