i'd go OEM - not worth the pound you might save.

Get the steel, if you ever get into an accident youll know that they will bend or crease, not break

Fiberglass fenders usually don't line up worth a crap. The weight difference can not be too much, factory steel fenders don't weigh much at all. I would just check on nga,ebay, and other places for some guy that bought some ugly z3 fenders and are selling their factory ones for cheap.
