Let's wait and see what he can come out with...

In terms of chipping, Carbon fibre would be same case. the resin and clearcoating will chip no matter what.

I do not think abs plastic or poly would be a possibility for a small shop like that.

Oem style Plastic is best imo. I dont really car for carbon since it would be painted anyways and doesnt really cut much noticeable weight.

I can tell you that plastic wont be a possibility as it costs too much investment up front...

Here is the pic

Looks terrible. Completely unfitting for the Z4s lines.

[johanness]

I like it. I'd like to see it on the Coupe. $799 seems cheap enough

[PLCZ4MC]

Like it too, wish it was with out the reflectors.

[Beedub]

hmmmm not to sure..... something just seems off.... think i prefer the stock z4m bumper which looks very nice imo....

reserving judgement until more pics surface.

Just noticed theres no tow hook hole on that pic. It does look like a rendering, but I'm curious if it has the hole for the tow hook. I have having my front plate screwed right into the bumper and if I get that one I would like to use the tow hook plate mount.

Good catch. Tow hook hole would be a must.
If I get it, I'll be moving the plate to the tow hook.
I'll also have the shop that paints it fill the washer holes and probably the reflectors.

I sent them an email.

Having seen the rendering I am still ready to pay for this

I run a business and dont understand how other business owners cant answer emails on a daily basis. I usually reply mobile within an hour.

Agreed. Seems to be the norm now.

[mpower1226]

Found something better, Japanese company manufactures it(not for z4 but i sent email if they can do one for us) it is in FG but seems to be quite high quality looking at the parts included (very complete parts with towhooks and grilles and brake ducks).

Now, pics below are NOT for us, but ones they made for 1 and e92s..
let's if they can do one for us..

[Nate4641]

Thats cool, but its even less fitting to the Z4 lines than the 1M front.

[PLCZ4MC]

Looks very similar to the bumper in the new BMW M3/M4 coming out this year.
