I would go about buying individual LED bulbs and replacing them. Bulbs usually go for like $1 at most...

Most LED Kits like the charge $40+ (at least for the E46). and you can spec your own bulbs through other sites for alot cheaper.

Just make sure you don't need a resistor for the interior LEDs. I don't know if this car requires it or not

I wouldn't go LED on the Z4. The problem is that the only light on the interior that provides most of the lighting is near the rear view mirror, which takes a 194/168 wedge type bulb (I believed the footwell lighting takes the same bulb). I cannot find anything bright enough that would still fit in the housing. Of all the LEDs that I've tried, it has been very disappointed and ultimately went back to the OEM halogen bulb.
