I think that would look good ,,,

I think that's the first time I've seen the aero front bumper and it ties in nicely with the side skirts. I'm not a fan of the skirts alone.

You'd have to do some sort of custom fabrication for the brake ducting to fit it on an M, Earl. You would also probably want to add fog lights and the Z4 lighting controls to support them.

Not for me. I do very much like your Schnitzer diffuser, but not at their prices. BTW, I put 10mm hubcentric spacers on the front this week and those are perfect with the ZCP wheels.

And I couldn't agree more with your disagreement. The aero front bumper on its own, without the aero side skirts, just makes the Z4 look like it has a Jay Leno chin. The side skirts make a huge difference complementing the front bumper.

I agree with you Dammmittt and inTgr8r...the M bumper is super cool One thing to remember when going from an M to the aero is the fog lights are different (and vice versa; hence I went with the aero from my OEM bumper...no adjustments required).

And takedown, I'm with you...I totally LOVE my side skirts...they look amazing

I was talking about me. I might buy one and see how I can mod it maybe fill in the fog light holes.

Ahh, OK. I kind of like the bumper. Fogs would be cool, too. Wiring them up would probably be easier than filling the holes.

You could always convert the fog lights into brake ducts.

Not just different. M models don't have them.

I'm interested in buying your M bumper to help fund the purchase of the new aero bumper. Heck, I'll even give you my fog lights and hardware. Let me know- I'm the the So. Cal. area also.

"WoW" I do like the Aero Bumper

Hello all-----

I have an 03, Z4, sorry to ask, This will fit my Z without much modifications?
Let me know if anybody finds one available at a fair price--I am ready to order!

Do you think the front alone will look good, and hold on the side skirts?

Thanks,
Bob

Try Tischer BMW, they're all over this forum. I believe the going price for the front bumper is ~400 and skirts ~200, then you need to get it painted by a body shop.
Installation is very easy and can be done by yourself.

Does the Z4M front bumper fit a Z4 3.0si coupe without any modification?

Anyone know how much the Z4MC front bumper + all minor trim and panneling is?

*edit: I just saw that someone said the foglights are relocated on the M. Is changing them a very difficult task?*

Thanks,
-Chris

Z4M Bumper fits all Z4s. Not sure what is needed, but there have been a couple that have done it. Try the

Not relocated, removed - the M Bumper has no fog light option.
