Can't help but think anthracite\moonlight just looks like a badly faded black roof.

I originally wanted Moonlight for my Misano Blue color and landed up with the regular black soft top. Frankly I am happy I did as I think that the solid black top looks better with the Shadowline package and the all black 19" wheels.

Not sure you have seen one it person but the top is pretty lively in the sun with the sliver standing out.

Top in the picture on a cloudy day is 9 years old & spent its entire life out doors. has been a great roof. BMW seems really great putting a roof on convertibles. The car the 135is replaced was a 2004 330Ci ZHP which also lived outside. Zero issues with it from new till the day it was sold.

Now that I have seen yours I am really curious to see the moonlight black top for mine I think it will look good based on the website pictures anyway. Once I finally get her I will post some pics as it is same color combo as yours.

Have you seen a misano blue with the moonlight top in person yet?

I like the moonlight better than the "plain ole black" option. Just looks nicer to me.

Were there any Z4’s ever shipped with the Anthracite Silver fabric?

It would have looked great with Frozen Grey Metallic. Alas, the latter was not offered in 2019.

I have a 2020 Frozen Metallic M40i and the roof looks perfect in the "moonlight" roof option!

I agree that the Moonlight roof is the perfect companion for the frozen grey color.

I'm pretty sure it's the same top, different name, as the moonlight. My 30i has the moonlight top and it's stunning in sunlight or reflected light. Website photos don't do it justice. I'll try to take photos when I get a chance.

Here's an interesting shot of mine VS Misano Blue with Black roof.
