Got hold of a pair of 4 series tweeters from ebay for a reasonable price and a nice easy job to fit and makes a huge difference to the sound

Do they fit directly into the blanks in the doors? Is the wiring there to plug into? Does anything need programming to make them work?
Can you tell I’m interested in doing similar?

They are a direct fit and they came with the wires which plug in to the main door speakers, no programming needed. If you look at realoem for the z4 tweeters it shows that they have been superseded and which other bmw,s they are fitted to

Tweeters make a massive difference, I was contemplating getting an amp and the speakers replaced, but the tweeters made such a difference that I haven't bothered (I did change the mids as well though). Still not very loud though, but good enough, my hearing is shot enough already.
I bought and fitted the Rockford Fosgate replacement door speakers (mid and tweeter), these are a straight swap and require no coding.

For info.......
OEM Tweeter is... 9220750 and readily available on eBay
Or if you have the Harman Kardon system then you need 9220751
Both sides are the same part number.

I changed my door speakers out with Mini ones and added the mini tweeters at the same time. made a big difference.
and the Mini ones are a lot cheaper than the Z4 ones the door speakers were a straight swap the tweeters need to be dremeled to fit, the size is correct but the mini ones have 2 slots and the holder in the z4 had 3 slots, so dremeled an extra slot in the plastic speaker housing
only took about 10 minutes each.

Mrs used to have a Mini Coopers S convertible but I was never impressed with the sound of the stereo. What year was that from?

Don't forget the rear speakers also have space for tweeters.

Rear speakers have an impeded/reduced signal from the fronts, unless you swap to using an amp with pre-outs any money you chuck on the rear speakers is basically a waste of time.
Just swap out the mids, footwell speakers and tweeters and you will have an awesome sounding setup. I power mine with a little blaupunkt amp, hertz speakers and focal tweeters. It's lovely and punchy, with deep bass and enough clarity to be heard well into very illegal speeds (apparently). If you need some staging then the crappy old rears can be faded in to give you a token gesture.
Price for all my stuff including fitting and sound deadening was £628
