Z4 wind deflector install?
Has anyone installed the BMW windscreen on their Z4? It requires installing a couple of plastic brackets on the inside of the rollbars and it isn't clear where to position the brackets - and they need to be drilled into the rollbars so you only get one chance to do this correctly
The windscreen p/n is 54-34-7-200-808 If anyone has access to BMW tech bulletins on how to install this accessory it would be much appreciated!! dk

Yes - the 650 and Z4 are both manual transmission, as God intended

i think when you buy the oem windscreen it comes with new pre-drilled roll bar covers?
All i did was pop the stock ones off and put the drilled ones on. Then screwed in the brackets. I bought mine used, he gave me the pre-drilled silver covers with it so idk if it normally comes that way or not.

Mine came with new roll covers for the brackets. I still have the original ones. No drilling required.

How about a pic of the windscreen installed with a close-up of the windscreen/roll bar cover interface to help me gage where to drill the holes? dk

youre really just drilling holes to get to the screw holes in the roll bar.
If you pop the covers off you can see them. The screws dont actually screw into the silver cover they just go through it. So once you make holes and screw it into the intended screw holes you cant screw anything up.

Since you drive a new 650 vert, I'm sure the pre drilled roll covers are pocket change for you in case you mess up.

Euro delivery on both cars can make a lot of difference on what one has to give for a nice ride

I don't know about the current Z4, but with the old ones the hoop covers had tabs with a very strong tendency to break during removal, which typically meant new covers were needed anyway.
