BMW is closing the chapter on one of its most recognisable modern roadsters with the introduction of the Z4 Final Edition. This limited-run version marks the last opportunity for customers to order a new Z4 before production ends in March 2026. Since its debut in 2002, the Z4 has built a strong following through its mix of distinctive styling, open-top driving and sharp handling. The Final Edition is designed as a closing tribute to the model, offering exclusive exterior and interior details that set it apart from the standard range.
The Final Edition will be available for order only for a short period beginning in late January 2026, giving interested buyers a narrow window to secure one of the last examples.
A key feature of the Final Edition is its exclusive Frozen Matt Black paintwork, a finish offered only on this farewell model. Paired with the standard M High-gloss Shadowline trim, the colour highlights the Z4’s lines and gives the car a more assertive presence. Buyers can still choose from the regular Z4 colour palette at no extra cost. The edition also includes High-gloss Red M Sport brakes, which provide both strong stopping power and a visual flourish behind the wheels.
Inside, the Final Edition is defined by red contrast stitching running across the dashboard, centre console, door panels and the M Sport seats trimmed in Vernasca leather and Alcantara. The M Alcantara steering wheel carries matching stitching, reinforcing the roadster’s sport-focused character. Specially engraved door sill plates complete the interior adjustments unique to this edition.
The Final Edition treatment is offered across the full Z4 line-up. It is available for the 197hp sDrive20i, the 258hp sDrive30i, and the flagship 340hp Z4 M40i. The package is priced at €4,200 (around RM20,012) for models that already include the M Sport package as standard. For the sDrive20i, which does not come with the M Sport package, the total cost rises to €7,400 (around RM35,259), as the M Sport kit is added to the vehicle along with the Final Edition features.
The Z4’s place in BMW’s history goes back to 2002, when the first-generation model was introduced as the successor to the Z3. With a long bonnet, short tail and low seating position ahead of the rear axle, it delivered the classic roadster experience with impressive chassis rigidity and 50:50 weight distribution. The range-topping Z4 M Roadster used the same 340hp straight-six engine as the contemporary M3 and could reach 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds.
The second-generation Z4 arrived in 2008, introducing a major change with its retractable aluminium hardtop, which transformed the car from roadster to coupé at the press of a button. The folding roof broadened the model’s usability while maintaining the proportions and driving character that defined the nameplate. This generation also brought the Z4 into the era of BMW’s iDrive system and offered improved cabin space.
The current and third-generation Z4 made its global debut in 2018 at Pebble Beach. It returned to a fabric soft-top roof, paired with a more focused interior design and updated driver assistance and connectivity features. Its flagship variant, the Z4 M40i, is powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six with M TwinPower Turbo technology. Since 2024, BMW has also offered a manual transmission option in the Pure Impulse Edition. The Final Edition now acts as the final chapter for this generation and the Z4 line as a whole.
With production ending in 2026, the Z4 Final Edition stands as a last chance to own a version of BMW’s long-running roadster—one that highlights the model’s design heritage while marking the end of its story.
