The way the roof folds down negates the need for a full cover. With side covers the effect is pretty much the same.

I have some of those in grey, well black now.

Yes Sunlady they are the same as those in the picture.
Put a wanted ad on here or search eBay.
I got mine off eBay unused and complete with storage bag. (Original Black )
Some people think they are a pain but I never drive mine roof down without them as it looks poor without them IMO.

Expect to pay between £100if lucky -£150 now especially original black check they weren't a different colour painted black if indeed black rather than grey or beige is what you want.

Good luck finding a pair.

Might be hard to see if they were another colour before. You would struggle to with mine.

Also some sellers might not disclose they were grey or beige originally, or even know. TBH it doesn't really matter, a can or matt acrylic and nobody can tell the difference.

Hi, I am from Australia. I also need to buy Tonneau cover, because I used to cover my Z4 with king sized bed sheet lol, but in rainy season there is a problem to cover my car.

This is a side cover in grey fitted to a Monaco Blue, sadly no longer owned by me.
I've seen them priced over £200.000 on Ebay

Often wondered why modern cars dont come with a Tonneau so you can drive solo and keep the heat in annd stop your stuff blowing about.
Standard on old school convertibles - good for parking too to stop the dippers ( thieves) but I guess electric hoods outpaced Tonneaus.
Seems some "Tonneaus" are actually car covers not compatible with being driven.

If you finds one - please post so we can all benefit. good luck

I have had a tonneau cover on old Escorts to cover the hood and also a full tonneau to protect the cabin when the roof is down and its sunny out - they did exist on older vehicles but never seen them for a Z4
