Was this soft top color ever shipped?

I was going through some of the original Z4 release data and noticed this tidbit on the colors to be offered for the convertible roof.

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

Yes, in some markets. Such as the UK.

Was it ever shipped to the US? It would be a great looking combination along with the Frozen Grey.

It's called the moonlight black softtop. It provides a silver sheen to the top and looks good with my frozen grey.

I've noticed no top mention in our lists of standard equipment. Names changed on our BYO. Anthracite does look great with the Frozen Grey. Some prefer with BSM. I'm partial to plain.

Moonlight is a different color than the Anthracite Silver.

Not only does it look great with the Frozen Grey but it would be beautiful on a white car also.

Currently only the standard black and the Moonlight black colors appear on the BMW USA site. This Anthracite Silver rocks and I would have considered it with a white car if it had been offered.

Another great soft top color that BMW doesn't offer is navy. I had a beautiful 1994 325i convertible that was a color called Samoa Blue and it had a navy soft top with a light silver grey interior. The car was absolutely stunning!!!

Navy - aftermarket only. 3YA - same equipment - any name any language. Factory codes are key. See if they have it on something next time you're at the store. Just black with silver threading.

The Moonlight black reminds me of a grey flannel suit I used to wear.

Moonlight Black soft top has option code 3YA

Anthracite Silver top also has option code 3YA

So, I'm not sure what to tell ya. But if you want a Z4 through a US dealer it's either the standard black or the Moonlight Black. And that's assuming there's no constraint on that option. lol

So the Anthracite Silver soft top is only available in Europe. What a shame as it would match my salt and pepper hair!

If touchscreen is removed (option code 6UY) so is Backup Assistant if you have Parking Assist Pkg (5DN). These cars will also show option code ZUY to indicate no Backup Assistant.

Think moonlight & anthracite are the same material in different markets.

Have a moonlight 135is & a black Z4 M40i. They look the same as the pictures in the OP #1 post

The M4C was ordered with Moonlight.



Moonlight



Black Light portion on the front is water
