Aero side skirts?

[Jembo]

I bought mine in France last april and they appeared to be still available on bmw etk... but maybe it is not up to date

but check here it seems to be in stock but only the right one

Turner MS is US based, so if you order be aware the customs charges tend to be steep - I was charged 30% by customs on something I bought.

Best option then is to check in France, I’ll PM AngryZed who’s based in Paris & ask him if he wouldn’t mind poking around

and the left one here... https://www.leebmann24.de/abdeckung-schweller-grundiert-links-z4-51710150781.html

Hi bobo75, from what BMW told me they only went NLA last November, so stock would probably still have been available in April. There are a limited number of right ones available in the USA but shipping and import taxes bump the prices up tenfold :|

Sadly, none of USA suppliers I tried had stock of the left ones though.

I've already checked leebmann24 and they don't have stock. I've also tried all the other google results which show stock and they've all confirmed their web pages were out of date and they were NLA.

Good suggestion about BMW France. That's one of the few places I've not tried

Cheers Jembo I've not been able to check stock in France so that's an excellent idea

There's a chap on Facebook Z4 group who is expert in carbon fiber and would probably make these for not far off the £200 a side mark. I'll drop him a note and see what he says.

awesome

For those of you that have them, is the shape vac-formable/baggable? I.e. could you tool it using a single piece former, or does it have any negative spaces and/or features that would need to be injection moulded?

From the outside, it looks like a shape that would be quite straightforward to take a mould from, then vac-bag in CF and bond in the fixtures.

 

[Angelus666]

If I recall correctly when I put mine on, they would be shape vac formable....you would then need to cut the relevant holes, but should be pretty straight forward.

... & AngryZed’s going to ask around...

If he finds ‘a war stash’ of unwanted Aeros taking up valuable stockroom space, I might do a trip in the XC60 to help them out...

Newsflash - small Aero War stash found @ secret location .. apparently EUR223 (don’t know if this includes VAT or handling) each / a side brand new... looking into how many available & what discounts they could offer for a group buy, though could work out a bit expensive after I have apportioned Eurotunnel crossing & fuel & tolls.

Let’s see what they come back with...

 

[Angelus666]

Top work! I think people should be prepared to pay £300 a side considering they are pretty much not available...

 

[basil the dog]

I'm definitely in for a set if it all works out (if there is any left after those that have done the leg work to find them)

Wow, that is excellent news and well done tracking them down Jembo

I’m really impressed you’ve managed to track some down hopefully. I thought I’d tried every avenue....

I definitely want a set of these if you can get them. Please put me on the list

That will be double what there were a couple of years ago.

 

[Truth]

Put me down for a set. Also off to France in Feb/March in the estate car so can help with pick up of them to keep costs down. If u need Jembo?

 

[idej_z4]

I'd be keen to get a set if enough become available!!

Yep, mine were £134 each (unpainted) from BMW.

 

[fryh1n]

Please count me in as well.

I contacted kbd bodykits, and they can actually replicate the aero side skirts if I can gather enough interest (20-30 pre-purchase, similar to kickstarter).

Can’t believe how lucky I got.... got some off of here for £300 brand new primed and in the box, complete with fitting kit and seals! And the best part.... the seller and former forum member lived 6 miles down the road and was a top bloke and even delivered them to me!! (Much like the //M bonnet... bargains are there to be had you just have to wait and pounce when the opertinity arises )

 

[Truth]

Good for u.
I can’t believe how lucky I am having a z4mc!
