Z4M style front splitters for facelifted Z4's
- Thread starter GP20
- Start date
I like them a lot. Small on pieces, big on look. 
Pretty slick for those who have the facelifted front. And you get to keep your OEM foglights. But I don't think the brake ducts function like the real ///M bumper though, unless you somehow cut them out.
31,500 Japanese yen = $313.96 U.S. dollars. Yikes!
or is it 50,400 Japanese yen = $502.34 U.S. dollars. YIKES!!

Great find GP20 I'm loving those
Devil is in the detail and the telling fact for me will be how well they fit between the end of the foglight and wheel arch.
They are added straight to my shopping list.
When I get out of this hotel with low speed internet I need to look up EU suppliers and real prices to get them to the UK.
I'm sure a bit of ingenuity could get some sort of brake ducts working if wanted.

Somehow I just knew these would be on your list before I even got to the bottom of the thread :lol:
They do look like a well thought out design. I really quite like them.
Isn't the M bumper meant to be slightly higher than the regular bumper? or is the facelift bumper higher than the original too?
If it's lowering it even more you may need to be extra careful with speed bumps

You took the words right out of my mouth. :lol:

My Japanese is very limited, but I think the splitters themselves are ￥50,400. If you want them to come painted, it's an additional ￥26,250 for non-metallic color, or ￥31,500 for metallic color.
￥50,400, or $503 USD doesn't sound to me like it's worth it when the OEM Z4M front bumper is available and probably slightly cheaper. But I guess those front splitters make sense if you absolutely want to retain the fog-lights, and would rather not have to remove the front bumper. Painting just the splitters should be cheaper than painting an entire front bumper, too.
I just thought I'd post this info in the first place 'cos it was interesting and at least another option for the face-lifted Z4's. BMW's have always been popular in Japan and especially the Z4's. It's just funny how it seems like the aftermarket support for the Z4/Z4M is bigger in Japan than in the U.S. Companies in the U.S. don't seem like they want to be bothered to develop parts for the Z4/Z4M.
As far as fitment goes, the company's pretty well known in Japan. Besides, it's Japanese engineering so you know they'll most likely fit without issue.

they work out at £343 and as previously stated require painting, no sign of any other links, there is a contacts tab which may be worth ago.

Well guys if those prices are about right, then it looks a bit expensive by the time you add shipping across half the globe, UK import duty plus the hassle of dealing with such a different language then I'm out.
I reckon for that sort of money then you could get something custom made in the UK, or of course just pick up an ///M bumper and fit that

It looks nice, but maybe a bit top heavy. I still prefer the aerokit or the ///M bumper.

I also really like the look of the white wheels on a white Zed. Of course they would need to be one size larger.
Sorry... gonna poo poo on this one. :thumbsdown:
It definitely changes the look dramatically, but when seen in close proximity... well, those attachment lines are somewhat bothersome. It's not as evident on darker examples, but pretty clear on the light coloured Z4s.
Bloody expensive too!

imo i prefer the Z4M front. I dont like how these protrude from the side - unless you got them blended into the stock bumper.
For the cost it would be cheaper to buy an M front from a brakers - i have seen them go in eBay for less then £100 with minor correctable damage.
