Hi guys, can someone explain how the wind deflector just slots in? You'll see from the pic I can't do that on my car. I take it I need to change the roll bars? Cheers.

I see you are in the U.K. If you did not include the wind deflector on your original order, then you need to change the roll bars. In the U.S. models the deflector is standard.

It's totally bizarre why the wind deflector isn't standard for all Z4. It can't cost more than $30 to manufacture and NOT having slots for it means someone cannot add it later. It probably costs more money for BMW to have two different molds for the plastics - one with the wind deflector slot and one without.

Unless it's an aesthetics thing?

Yeh I bought the car second hand. It does seem crazy the amount of differences between UK and US models. For instance the power is lower on the UK spec which is irritating.

I'm fairly sure the only difference is the front trim. Probably a relatively easy and inexpensive part swap.

Cheers for the info. I'll have to see what the local dealership thinks.

Here is a comprehensive guide to the parts required and cost of retro-fitting a wind deflector to the Z4 G29 in the UK. Sorry to say it is very bad news regarding the cost.

Cheers Jim. That really is taking the micky with regards to the cost.
