BMW always intended to build Roadsters and Coupes, just took year to get around to the one with a proper roof. And AFAIK it's only bolted on. :poke:

Nah, just banter. I like the coupe as a car tbh, but it should have been given its own name. Z4 Minor perhaps 🤣

I’m with you. More curves, less straight angles and infinitely better fog lights :thumbsup:

Just order a new facelift bumper for my coupe. Only worry is scraping the underside as our cars do sit pretty low :cry: will keep an eye out for a aero though :thumbsup:

Just a question does the aero bumper have the little holes/vents just above where the foglights sit? Just wondering what the purpose is for these? As the pre facelift bumper has these too
