Erol,
I was recently looking for aftermarket suspension and http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ were about the cheapest for the KW stuff. The KWV3 for the Z4MC is not a coilover kit: it's like the OEM but with adjustable dampers with very awkward adjustment on the rears.
I don't think many UK Z4MC owners have fitted aftermarket suspension so I doubt if you'll see much secondhand stuff up for sale. I got lucky and bought the only secondhand suspension kit (AC Schnitzer Racing suspension) that I saw for sale in 4 months.

I've not forgotten. I have been giving updates along the way in that original thread http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=38918&start=90
This last week I've fitted some new front discs, braided hoses and Yellowstuff pads all round and renewed the brake fluid with DOT5.1. I've also fitted 10mm H&R spacers (weigh 330gms each) all round. I've also spent a bit of time resetting the geometry so that I now have zero toe at the front and rear and -1.5degs front camber. I've got some Meyle trailing arm bushes to fit and at the same time I want to install the TMS bush limiter kit. I also want to fit a an adjustable 30mm front ARB, and then I reckon I should have the handling precisely as I want it with a few minor tweaks to the settings. Obviously, the foundation of all the handling changes that I'm making are reliant on the ACS Racing suspension and from the test driving that I've been doing to check all of my installations, I'm well satisfied with it. I'll be doing a X-country drive to Silverstone on A (poor)&B roads next weekend and so I'll be able to get a much better assessment then: I made the same journey in May with the car completely OEM and I ended up with an aching neck from the awful OEM rear suspension. That was enough for me!
