Yeah it's a real thing on the early 3.0i, although you can retrofit it to other models. It's a cheap fix to the fact that the Z4 exhaust tone is quite muted. There are two pieces of foam you can remove, and it's worth trying it with one bit taken out first.

When I bought my Z4 it already had the foam removed and was lost, but I found it a bit fake sounding coming from my Z3 with proper exhaust fitted.

This was a recording I made with my camera held in the cockpit.
