Since its introduction in 2002, the BMW Z4 Roadster has been a winner on the road thanks to its unique combination of classic proportions, a purist driving experience, and sporty dynamics. Last week, BMW announced the Z4 Final Edition – a special Z4 M40i commemorating the end of production of the iconic 2-seat Roadster. The Z4 Final Edition will be characterized by its exclusive BMW Individual paint, unique interior accents, and commemorative badging on the door sill plates.
The BMW Z4 Final Edition will be produced in very small numbers from February to April of 2026 in a single configuration. Customers need only choose between a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed Steptronic transmission. Regardless of transmission, the MSRP for the Final Edition will be $77,500 plus $1,175 destination and handling.
Distinctive looks for an unmistakable personality
Fans will instantly recognize the BMW Z4 Final Edition by its exclusive BMW Individual Frozen Black metallic paint – a color that highlights the Z4’s unique design characteristics. The special paint is subtly contrasted by the standard Shadowline Package, which adds high-gloss black trim to the mirror caps, kidney grill, lower air intake, air breathers, and exhaust finishers. The exterior design package of the Final Edition also incorporates a Moonlight Black soft top and red calipers on the standard M Sport brakes.
Every Z4 Final Edition is fitted with a staggered wheel and tire package. At the front, 19-inch M Dual-Spoke Bicolor 800M wheels are mounted on 255/35 R19 performance tires. At the back, 20-inch wheels are fitted with 285/30 R20 tires.
Customers who choose the 6-speed manual transmission will also receive the special chassis tuning developed for the Edition Handschalter Package. Enhancements include unique auxiliary springs at the front and rear axles and a specially reinforced anti-roll bar clamp fitted at the front. Both the mapping for electronic control of the rear dampers and the software for the variable sport steering are reconfigured. The traction control and M Sport differential also receive unique control logic.
Red accents in the interior.
The contrasting red stitching selected for the Z4 Final Edition provides a literal common thread that ties together the instrument panel, center console, door panels, and M Sport seats, which are offered in Vernasca Leather and Alcantara. The floor mats feature red piping and the special door sill plates are inscribed with “Z4 FINAL EDITION”. The seatbelts are trimmed in the M tricolor.
The Z4 Final Edition comes as standard with a full range of comfort, convenience, and safety features, including the Driving Assistance Package, Premium Package, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.
CARLIST THOUGHTS
BMW debuted its first-generation Z4 in 2002 as a direct successor to the Z3. Then it launched the second-gen model in 2008 to be followed by the third-ten in 2018—a coupe that was co-developed with Toyota (with its sister car being the Supra). Now this Final Edition is the end of the road for the third edition and it lands in showrooms for around $77,500.
