Evolve Z4M Z4 Coupe Carbon Fiber Roof

Hi Guys

We recently produced and did a GB for a Carbon Fiber roof for the guys over on M3forum.net.







Is there any interest for a CF roof for the Z4M Z4 Coupe? If so we can start working out costs and prices.

Would need 10 participants to get this made and offer a Group Buy.

I dont know if you are aware, but there is a group buy going right now and product has been already produced as some people have already received and installed.

You are little late in the game unless you can price the roof very competitively..

one thing all of us are highly interested in is

if you can produce a set of carbon fang extension for z4m(like the wrap around extension made for e92 m3s) that would be a huge hit.

and I will be down for a group buy.

Twisted Six (Vince @ Zero Mass Motorsports) is well established here for the roof. He's already got ~ 20 orders in for that alone.

Come up with some other ideas (lip, diffuser, wing, etc...) and there will likely be some traction. Honestly, front fenders that are 25mm wider while retaining OE look would be an instant hit. Especially so if a slick way of integrating into the OE ///M cover is offered.

Hadn't seen another offering. Thanks for the heads up.

We can look into other products if there is demand.

YEs.......

a proper carbon lip with real aero qualities, z4m specific canards, evolve you could make a popular part as their is literally nothing offered for the z4m, you only have to look at the group buy numbers and people are willing to spend the money!!! the key is offering something that will work with both coupe and roadster!

^^ looks nice but I would have to see what it would look like on our cars before committing to anything like that plus I already have the Mstach. I would consider a thin lip spoiler similar to APR one with some more design and if the middle section was filled in that would be great.

I am more interested in a rear diffuser that covers the exhaust underside as well as bolts on easy, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. That I would be happy to buy.
