possible to fit coupe roof to soft top z4??

[wrongboy]

hi everyone. ive been wondering this for a while now. is it possible to get a kit or something in that region, that allows to put a z4 coupe roof on a z4 convertible? ive searched all over and come up with nothing all the time. thanks to all that can help

So you want the roof plus the hatch? Nothing has been done like that as far as I know. It would require removing the soft top, the trunk, and the side windows, and fabricating a BUNCH of pieces. It'd probably be cheaper to buy a coupe.

Or, you could just buy the Z4 hard top, that fits on the car when the roof is lowered. I think folks use those in the colder months, when top down driving would be undesirable.

i wish someone would make a top for the roadster like the s2000 fastback top, that looks awesome, i will never get a coupe as i just love the dual personality of my roadster, with a hardtop if feels just like the coupe, without it ive got my lovely roadster :-)

^The trunk will be useless

[gcochard]

Not if the trunk was replaced by the fastback top...

maybe dark schnitzer wants to make one

I can truly understand your desire for a coupe. However, I cannot see the type of butchery to a roadster that you envision. The sensible thing would be to have both. I agree with Huz-Z. Get a hardtop. Best of both worlds. Sorta.

I think j's racing makes it for s2000. It's not cheap. Neither are the imitations.

Actually they are very cheap. I had the CF Mugen hardtop and used you can get them for under $3000. Same with the Spoon/Mooncraft top. Both can be had for under $5000. Thats the price of a nice rifle. All the parts NOW for the S2000 are very cheap considering you can get into a used 2000-2001 S2000 for under $10000. I know I use to own one...

After owning a roadster I will never ever buy a car with a soft top again. The looks deminish with a soft top and its just a different cheaper feel too it.

Wow! Those are some great pictures of the hardtop for the Z4 roadster. It certainly looks great in those pictures!

I disagree. Coupes and sedans of all make are ubiquitous; fine roadsters like the Z4 or its coupe sister are relatively uncommon and there is nothing "cheap" about a BMW Z4, coupe or roadster.

Obviously, some people just don't understand the joy of going topless.

I think you are talking about the Spoon hardtop

You gotta try to stop being to sensitive and butt-hurt every time someone remotely uses the word cheap or pathetic to describe certain parts of the Z4. The Z4 might be an expensive car to you and it's a good sports car overall, but it's not exactly a 100% perfect car to ever exisit that has absolutely no flaws.

on a car DESIGNED from the off as a roadster, they are a thing of beauty, im thinking boxster spyder, z4, s2000, all removing the roof does is ADD to the driving experience.......... After being in a z4m with a hardtop in place which looked awesome i was really suprised how "coupe" like it felt, Definatly the best of both worlds imo......

also when i look at cars like that owned by BMWZ :-) i can definatly say the roadster with the hardtop in place and styled properly look just as awesome as the coupe... hell in my eyes even better :-)

I am not "sensitive and butt-hurt" as you say. I just disagree with the comment the other fellow made.

I think our definitions of "cheap" may be different. 5000 or less is lower than i was expecting for one of these roofs, but still not "very cheap." Very cheap to me is like a DIY clutchstop. =D

You're right. It's been a while since I looked at S2k. =)

I agree wholeheartedly. I think I may need to get one of them rear wings. It really adds to the look created by the hardtop. The black wheels look awesome, but I really like my 108's!! Hmmmm... winter/summer tires/wheels? Might be just right for up here in the northwest. However, mine seems to take long naps during the wintertime.
