Wind deflector
What do most of you guys do??? Buy the original when you order the car or get it from another source?
I was out yesterday and saw a guy with a plastic see through one which looked rather nice...I may have been mistaken but I'm sure he had a sticker on it with Z4 Forum!!!

Re: Wind deflector
Ive heard some say that solid ones, as opposed to the black mesh bmw ones flex as they dont allow any air theough them. I have no pracrical experimce myself of the solid ones though. Anyone?

Re: Wind deflector
I've never understood why done are mesh and some are clear plastic - even OEM across brands... So I think Mercedes and Porsche use clear plastic for example. But there must be a reason BMW stick with mesh ? Perhaps allowing some airflow to curve back through lessens noise, or perhaps even reduces buffeting ?

Re: Wind deflector
My TT has an electric mesh deflector.
It works really well but is surprisingly restrictive to see through

Re: Wind deflector
OK cheers guys. I was going for metallic paint, bigger alloys and parking sensors...but whilst out today we saw a white Z with the standard 18's on which looked rather nice...so I may just save on the paint and wheels, hold the parking sensors and the price I was going to pay for those 3 options is around the same as the comfort pack, which comes with the wind deflector & PS as standard!
Thanks
