i looking to get a new hood for my z4.
is there any way i can swap it for the M version of the hood?
is there any quality after market hoods out there for the z4?
thanks for the help
Well shigg as you know there are sexy hoods on certain e46s that roll around by your house
$1000 seems a tad overpriced for a normal hood... carbon fiber..not really but for normal fiberglass(i think its fiberglass) thats a bit rediculous.. none of you guys know of a legit place to buy a legit hood for a legit price?!?!
and shiggity your 4 posts are cute you should get 234 more

I think the Z4M hood is aluminum and may be much more than standard model hoods. Would be interesting to know.
bahahaha D arent you silly. why dont you roll around more often?
cfiber isnt my thing, and im deff not willing drop grand+ for a peice of fiberglass
palerojo we should trade hoods
K Kline offers a carbon fiber M hood that will fit $1600
I have a new to me 2006 M Rdstr, which replaced my 2003 Z4. I can't tell much difference in my hood and other 2006 Z4's, but don't have any to directly compare. Other than the M air dam and the tail light's what are the differences between the M and non-M 2006 and 2007 Z-4's. Are the materials different? I have read that that the back end and spoiler are different, but to my eye can't see much other than the dually exhaust. Thoughts? DWG
The main thing about the hood is the dual crease lines it has and the slight bulge those create. Visual tuning so to say. Also there is no insulation material (IIRC)underneath, but maybe that's the same with the normal Z4's.
The M rear spoiler has the diffuser.
And if all else fails "it has almost as many M badges as it has exhausts".

z-4hood is steel, M hood is Aluminum, thus the creases. Not for looks, but for rigidity.
"Bench racing" about track times driven by professionals are like a bunch of nerds arguing which Princess Leia is hotter, the slave Leia or the no-bra jail-bait Leia. No matter how compelling your argument is, the plain and simple fact is, none of you will EVER get to hit that.
I am pretty sure all Z4's had aluminum hoods from the start. It is common- even my S2000 had an aluminum hood.
Edit: Just found this quote confirming all hoods are aluminum: "The sheet metal (including an aluminum hood, which is said to be the largest single piece of aluminum made for a BMW product) on the Z4 is truly three dimensional, far more than traditional designs that Warmer says tend to be based primarily on cylindrical shapes." From an article here: http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/120201.html
