Wanted- e85 wind deflector.

Post by legacy4cam » Tue Jun 06, 2017 10:13 pm

Hi, just bought e85, and would like a wind deflector for it.

Ideally the clip on one with fixings, but what is available?

Cheers. Iain.

Thanks Gents, bought Simons as suggested , but I think I now need to find the fixings for the rollover hoops ...
Anyone know if they are available from BMW individually, or so I need to find a breaker ?
Is there anyone seen a diy short term fix until I source the right fittings?
Even better....anyone got a set they wish to sell ??

Cheers,

Iain.

I sold a complete set recently. Guess it's just bad timing?

Many people don't switch the hoops (they've got little wind deflector type bits in the middle) as it's a right PITA.

You can very easily buy the wind deflector (central part) with the fixings. Just measure up on your Zed and use some self tapping screws.

Got central part, used the boot clips to fit it. 😎👍

I'll put another ad in looking for outer bits ....

What bits are you after as we have just stripped E85 Z4 so have all bits may well have the bits that you need.

Hiya, well technically no. The hoop inserts come with their own "special" hoop. These have little notches so they can fit. Don't ask me where! But I think they're on the top section where the insert goes. BUT with a little dremmel or file I'm sure you can make it work with a bit of tweaking! :fuelfire:
