the posted headlights are halogen and not xenon.
There is no aftermarket xenon headlight available for z4.

Hello Monaco84,

thanks for clarifying that! I guess I will have to look into replacing the bulbs of my xenon headlights: guess that after ~ 10 years they may not be at their best...

Another alternative Roadster sticker over the 3rd light, looks tinted lights up "Roadster"?
Definite no for the sticker idea!

In view that it has taken so long for me to do anything says alot...however

Z4 Spoilers (on modified cars or standard cars) are completely marmite! - Some hate, some love. Im not sure how I feel - lol!

I guess the beauty of this one that I am having fitted, is they did come as an optional extra (am I right?) at the factory so it's not like I am wacking on a massive picnic tray on the boot?

Yes the spoiler is part of the aero kit, but without the side skirts or bumpers it might look a bit out of place.

Any thoughts on changing the boot lid 3rd brake light from red to clear? Worth it?
I’ve already done that, it came with red, I replaced with white... it broke 2 years later and BMW replaced free of charge but didn’t tell me they were going to replace with a red light but I didn’t mind, as bowler says, the red blends with the brake lights nicely

Hi Tomo

Did you ever fit the aero spoiler? :thumbsup:
I'm having the same debate myself. Not sure if it's just a wee bit OTT with the side skirts and front bumper. :?

10 months on and it's still not fitted but...

I have instructed the bodywork guys to get it sprayed white with the black middle section so watch this space!
