Silly Question #45987
The answer may be delightfully simple, but why Z4M Coupe and Z4M Roadster and not M4 Coupe and M4 Roadster? It's clear why the Z3 M Coupe & Roadster didn't get called M3, and frankly I think M Coupe and M Roadster is far cooler, but that problem doesn't exist with the Z4. I know some time ago, i...

BS. The Type 1 deflector has been in the accessories catalogue almost since the Z3 went on sale. It fits into the top of the seatbelt turrets where the outside legs of the rollhoops also fit.
