Not had one fitted. I looked into the cost because of insurance claim. BMW qouted £1500 for the cloth and window and £350 to fit it. If you search 'breaking bmw z4' you'll get a few cars come up, mainly up North. They'll sell you one for a fraction of the dealership price. Fitting one is pretty easy.

I used monsoon when they had a 10% off sale on. Impressed with the quality of the hood fabric and their customer service is fantastic. Mine is on their website somewhere.

They were so impressed by my Z4, they went out and bought one to use as their show car.
