Carbon Black may be a good color for the Z4 ... even though some of the trim pieces, top cover, etc. are black so any color that offers a nice visual contrast to these black trims is probably better / nicer. |

Looks great, but Right hand drive cars always look so strange to me. I'm sure it's the same for left hand drive cars for Y'all

IMO needs a bit more contrast in colour, eg chrome grill and silver wheels.

Black does nothing for me.
Neither does the front grille without the M-sport package; M-sport package a must if for no other reason than the more aggressive (masculine) front grille. |

trim help help!
Is it the M package thats blacks out the front grilles or just the Shadow line trim option. I see M sport with Chrome and black grills and some all blacked out. Also chrome trim on lower part, and some without. And finally some have chrome and black side vents.

The following applies in the UK and I think that the USA is the same.
The Sport and M Sport versions come standard with chrome grill surround and chrome dots across the centre part of the grill (similar to Mercedes). The mirror caps are body colour. If you add the M Sport Plus Package, the grill surround and dots are all black and the wheels are bi-colour jet black. The M40i comes with Cerium Grey, a kind of matt chrome, grill surround and dots. It also has Cerium Grey mirror caps and front bumper side trims. The wheels are bi-colour Cerium Grey. If you specify the Black Package, the grill surround, dots, mirror caps, front bumper side trims and wheels are all black. The First Edition model, only 45 in the UK, comes with a black grill surround with Cerium Grey dots. The mirror caps and wheels are also Cerium Grey. All quite confusing, but I hope this helps.

And I think it’s slightly different for the M40i. In the US, you don’t get a choice. And the wheels are seperate (at least in USA).

Thanks for input.
Went to dealer today. It is indeed the shadowline trim that blacks everything out. Saw a white with M sport and no shadowline trim option. I like it that way (Mercedes type grill with diamond pattern in Chrome) However the M40i has chrome on lowerducts and side vents. Is this a europe thing or an M40i feature. Also in germany i see the M40i with that exact label on rear trunk lid. Will that be same in US or will we get sdrive 40i on the back.

Wait for frozen orange?
I currently have a 2016 Z4. Im holding out for the Frozen Orange M40i. BMW gave me a 4 month lease extension. Having seconds thoughts, im being warned about that paint. Scratches easy, hard to repair yada yada yada. Any opinions on that type of paint. As far as the bigger engine thats not that important to me. Just want the color.

I not see it confirmed anywhere but as it a Steyer magma plant, this means individual paints are off the menu?

Extended Shadowline Trim
To be exact, it's the Extended Shadowline Trim that blacks out the grill and exhaust tips. It's one of the few stand-alone options.

Yes, on the 30i. But on the M40i, it’s included? Even though it’s just called Shadowline (without the extended)?
