Sheer driving pleasure has always been baked into the BMW brand’s
DNA. The BMW Z4 is a prime example: truly exhilarating roadster fun.
Since the start of the first model generation in 2002, this open-top
sports car has been wowing customers with its unique combination of
peerless design, a purist driving experience and sporty dynamics. The
upcoming BMW Z4 Final Edition provides fans with a time-limited
opportunity to order a very special version of this vehicle – one that
may well become a collectors’ item. It comes with specific equipment
elements that create individual highlights on the outside as well as
in the interior. At the same time, the Final Edition represents this
iconic two‑seater’s crowning glory. Production of the BMW Z4 will come
to an end in March 2026.

Customers will have a short order window for the BMW Z4 Final
Edition, beginning in late January 2026.

Distinctive looks for an unmistakeable personality.

The distinguishing exterior feature of the BMW Z4 Final Edition is
its exclusive Frozen Matt Black paint finish. This colour, which
underlines the model’s individual and dynamic flair, is only available
for the Final Edition of the BMW Z4. It looks particularly impressive
when combined with the M High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, which is
part of all Final Edition models. In addition to Frozen Matt Black,
customers can select other colours from the BMW Z4 range, at no extra
cost. The M Sport brake in High-gloss Red is also included with the
BMW Z4 Final Edition. It impresses with particularly effective
deceleration and attractive looks.

Red accents in the interior.

The distinctive contrasting red seams selected especially for the
Final Edition provide a literal common thread which, in this case,
ties together the instrument panel, centre console, door trims and M
Sport seats in Vernasca

Leather/Alcantara. Another attractive eye-catcher is the M Alcantara
steering wheel with contrasting seams to match. It accentuates the
sporty character of the BMW Z4 Final Edition to perfection, while
specially engraved door sill strips enhance its exclusivity.

Available for all models.

The Final Edition is available for the 145 kW/197 hp BMW Z4 sDrive20i
(WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.4–7.3 litres/100 km;
CO2 emissions: 166–164 g/km, CO2 class F)* as
well as the BMW Z4 sDrive30i delivering 190 kW/258 hp of power (WLTP
combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.4 litres/100 km; CO2
emissions: 167 g/km, CO2 class F)*. The Edition also
extends to the range-topping BMW Z4 M40i (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel
consumption 8.7–8.0 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions: 197–181
g/km, CO2 class G)* powered by a 250 kW/340 hp six-cylinder
in-line engine.

Offered for all models regardless of the transmission selected, the
Final Edition trim level costs 4,200 euros. It requires the M Sport
package already included as standard in the BMW Z4 sDrive30i and BMW
Z4 M40i. With the BMW Z4 sDrive20i, the Final Edition is charged at
7,400 euros, as the M Sport package is not part of the standard
equipment for this engine variant and is therefore added to the
vehicle at the usual cost of 3,200 euros.

The history of the BMW Z4: Launch of the first generation in 2002.

The BMW Z4 is part of a long-standing BMW tradition of open-top
two‑seater sports cars. This successful lineage includes icons such as
the BMW 328 Roadster, the BMW 507 and the BMW Z8.

The BMW Z4 had its premiere in autumn 2002, as the direct successor
to the BMW Z3 launched in 1995. And, like its predecessor, the BMW
roadster known internally as the E85 series was produced at the BMW
Plant Spartanburg in the US state of South Carolina.  

With its long bonnet and short rear, the design of the BMW Z4
signalled power and sporting prowess. In the cabin, the low seating
position just in front of the rear axle made for an unforgettable
roadster driving experience. The BMW Z4 set new standards with a
torsional stiffness previously unmatched in the convertible and
roadster segment. Its supreme agility was also due to its 50/50 weight
distribution. The BMW Z4 M Roadster was the first generation’s
range-topper. Fitted with the 252 kW/340 hp six-cylinder in-line
engine from the BMW M3, it accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds.

The second BMW Z4 generation: Unchanged dynamic appeal,
electro-hydraulic retractable hardtop as standard.

In December 2008 BMW introduced the second generation of the Z4 to
the world. The new two-seater known internally as the E89 model series
again combined classic proportions with leading-edge engineering.

It came with a completely new, electro-hydraulically retractable
hardtop made up of two roof sections. Featuring an aluminium shell
design, the hardtop was included as standard and could be opened or
closed at the touch of a button in just 20 seconds. With the hardtop
in place, the BMW Z4 offered the refined comfort of a sporty premium
coupé. The interior of the new BMW Z4 had gained much over the
first-generation model in terms of headroom and elbow room. In
addition, this marked the first time the roadster used the BMW iDrive
infotainment system.

The third-generation BMW Z4: Modern interpretation of the
classic open-top sports car.

BMW premiered the third – and current – generation of the BMW Z4 in
August 2018 at Pebble Beach Golf Links near Monterey, California. The
BMW Z4 world premiere revealed a modern interpretation of the classic
open-top sports car. A premium roadster boasting an electrically
operated fabric softtop, sporty handling and a purist, driver-focused
interior design. This was complemented by premium-quality driver
assistance, infotainment and connectivity features. Unparalleled in
this segment is the three-litre straight-six engine with M TwinPower
Turbo technology in the BMW Z4 M40i, which has been offered with a
manual transmission since 2024 as the Pure Impulse Edition. The Final
Edition will be the pinnacle of the third-generation BMW Z4.
