BMW is giving its open-top icon a proper send-off with the Z4 Final Edition, a run-out version that marks the end of production in March 2026. After more than two decades on sale, the two-seat roadster signs off with a specification that leans into its driver-focused character and adds just enough visual drama to hint that this is no ordinary Z4. Order books will only be open for a short window from late January 2026, turning this last batch into something that is likely to be coveted by collectors and long-time fans of BMW’s roof-down machines.
The Final Edition stands out immediately thanks to its exclusive Frozen Matt Black paintwork, a finish that gives the car a low, muscular stance even at a standstill. The colour is paired with M High-gloss Shadowline trim as standard, sharpening up the kidney grille, window surrounds and other exterior details. Bright red M Sport brakes sit behind the wheels, adding both stopping power and a visual punch. Buyers who prefer a different shade are not locked into the matte black; they can select from the wider Z4 palette while still keeping the other Final Edition cues.
Inside, the car gains a more bespoke feel without losing the clean, driver-centric layout that has defined this generation. Red contrast stitching runs across the dashboard, centre console, door cards and the deeply bolstered M Sport seats, which are trimmed in a mix of Vernasca leather and Alcantara. An M Alcantara steering wheel with matching stitching continues the theme, and specially engraved door sill plates underline that this is the last of the line. The overall effect is of a cabin tailored around the driver, with discreet motorsport-inspired touches rather than shouty graphics.
Crucially, the Final Edition is not restricted to a single engine. It can be specified with the four-cylinder sDrive20i or sDrive30i, as well as the range-topping Z4 M40i with its three-litre straight-six. That means buyers can choose anything from a relatively light, rev-happy roadster to a full-blooded six-cylinder machine with serious pace, all wrapped in the same farewell specification. Regardless of output, every Final Edition keeps the low seating position, compact footprint and rear-wheel-drive balance that make the Z4 feel like a classic roadster brought up to date.
This last chapter also highlights just how deep the Z4’s roots run. When the first generation arrived in 2002, it picked up the baton from the Z3 and joined a long line of BMW open-top sports cars stretching back to the 328 Roadster, 507 and Z8. The second-generation car brought a folding hardtop and more comfort, while the current model, launched in 2018 at Pebble Beach, returned to a fabric roof and a purer sports car brief. With the later addition of the manual-equipped M40i Pure Impulse Edition and now the Final Edition, BMW has ensured its roadster bows out on a high note: a compact, rear-drive two-seater that blends modern tech with the sort of open-air driving experience enthusiasts still cherish.
