Recently brought this z3 3.0L 2002. was curious if any one knew whether these wheels would have been an original extra or whether someone added them at a later date? cheers

Style 42 split rims very much a standard Z3 wheel, usually spec'd when ordering at the dealer. Incredibly difficult to find a set for sale anywhere these days.

Yes oem fitment from factory, just not in black, would have been silver. Being split rim that refurbishment wouldn’t have been cheap
I haven't a clue but I like them.
Most 3.0l that I have seen have them so I assume they came standard on the 3.0l, I have just started a refurb on a set for my 2.8, IMO they are a luxury version of the style 78
Hi and welcome from London
Yes, style 42 and as Gaz quite rightly said an expensive option. I finally settled on a set of these as my choice for a staggered standard 17" wheel, expensive refurbishment but they'll be worth it and look awesome with a polished lip.
They are quite difficult to find not fitted to a car and quite often you will think you've found a set only to realise they are the wrong offsets..
