Schnitzer did not make the roll bars, they are made by another company I forget the name of now, something like alumex in Germany. They are tuv approved as are the OEM hoops. It worth noting the windscreen and seat backs are the main rollover protection.

Re: Are these the best factory-fit alloys on a Z3 ever!?
Never an official option for the Z3.
The largest official,options at the time where 18 inch AC Schitzers
Plus I did not think the 7 series wheel offsets would ever fit a Z3 but I'm a little rusty with those specs
I would politely suggest the seller is, erm talking a load o bollocks
