Wind deflector
Am I right in saying that if you don't order the comfort pack or wind deflector from factor order as an option you cannot retro-fit?

You can, but not easily as you need to order new surrounds for the head loops.

To retro fit it's £400.60
I had one fitted a couple of weeks ago.

This looks good, but it still requires the "slots" in the roll over hoops.

This looks good, but it may have a problem. The OE deflector gets surprisingly dirty but, because of its design & materials, doesn't show it. A solid version may will get just as dirty and show it a lot.

I had a Wind Deflector fitted by BMW. It wasn’t cheap, but it certainly makes a difference.

What? When they can charge you more in a pack or as a retrofit... robbing buggers.

Just looking at those photos and wondering who'll be the first person to paint the 'Z4' on the hoops a contrasting colour?

Not much help to the OP, but I just looked back at the order form for my factory built G29. The salesman advised including the wind deflector as I didn't want the comfort pack and the cost of including it at the pre build stage was £170.

I'm looking into retro fit of wind deflector.
There's useful post on another forum and it suggest you can do it with 3 parts only:
51 46 7459683 Trim rollover protection bar front left
51 46 7459684 Trim rollover protection bar front right
54 34 9481141 Wind Deflector
So, this trim rollover protection bar fronts, where wind deflector slots in, are these black plastic parts on the interior side or silver ones on exterior side? Because I'm not entirely sure looking at the schematics. Problem is, I have black shadow covers on exterior side and looks like these parts might be more expensive than silver ones.
It's number 3 on this picture:
Or number 1 on this picture:

I think that the wind deflector is a necessity on the Z4 G29 and the Dealers should be advising new build customers who don’t order the Comfort Pack to order the stand alone wind deflector from the factory. Extra cost was £170.00 when I ordered mine, but I did order the Comfort Pack.

Wind deflector should be standard! It’s essential as far as I can see and it’s a crime it’s not included.

BMW are cheapskates as far as equipment levels go.
My wife drives a Seat Ibiza FR which costs about £18,000 and has Adaptive Headlights as standard yet we have to pay an additional £900 for them
