Just had a look, they offer a different set for the 6 cylinders as opposed to the M's.

Out of luck unfortunately.

Thanks for the response. I'm not too pushed about ride quality as the roads don't make any difference over here anyway!

Could you recommend a good aftermarket set?

Lowering Springs and Spacers

Hi All, Looking at lowering and widening the stance of the car.. What does the following combination sound like in people's opinions? I know there are more expensive ones available.. but these are not the cheapest either. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z3-2-2-Lowering-Springs-30-15mm-120704-/29064745...

Would a Z3M roof fit on a normal Z3 facelift model? Also, if the roof is electric, what would I all need to ensure I have all the parts req...

I think the majority would enjoy modifying their BMW, however, keeping only original BMW accessories. Most of the aftermarket items usually don't compliment the car at all so it is better to keep away from. There are instances however, such as for headlights, where aftermarket are just much cheaper ...
