Richmond Hill, ON. Since its introduction in 2002, the BMW Z4 Roadster has been thrilling enthusiasts with its unique combination of classic proportions, purist driving experience, and sporty dynamics. Today, BMW announces 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 limited numbers
from February to April of 2026 in a single, well-equipped
configuration. Customers need only choose between a 6-speed manual or
8-speed Steptronic transmission. Regardless of transmission, the MSRP
for the Final Edition will be $99,900 CAD.
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 colour that
highlights the Z4’s unique design characteristics and dynamic flair.
The special paint is subtly contrasted by the standard 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 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 Double-Spoke Bicolour 800M wheels are
fitted with 255/35 R19 high-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 special chassis tuning developed especially to accompany this
gearbox. 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 distinctive contrasting red stitching selected for the Z4
Final Edition provides a literal common thread that ties together the
instrument panel, centre console, door panels, and M Sport seats,
which are trimmed 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 tricolour.
The Z4 Final Edition comes as standard with a full range of
comfort, convenience, and safety features, including the Premium
Enhanced Package, which contains the Harman Kardon surround sound system.
The history of the BMW Z4: Launch of the first generation in 2002.
The BMW Z4 is part of a long tradition of open-top two‑seater
sports cars. The 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 South Carolina.
With its long
hood and short trunk, the design of the BMW Z4 signaled power and
sporting prowess. In the cabin, the low seating position just ahead of
the rear axle made for a highly engaging driving experience. The
BMW Z4 set new standards with a torsional stiffness previously
unmatched in the convertible and roadster segment. Its supreme agility
was due in large part to its 50/50 weight distribution. The BMW Z4 M
Roadster was the first generation’s range-topper. Fitted with the 330
hp six-cylinder in-line engine from the BMW M3, it could accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/h in about 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,
combined classic proportions with leading-edge engineering.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature of the new Z4 was the
electro-hydraulically retractable hardtop made up of two roof
sections. Featuring an aluminum 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 on the reviewing stand at the Lodge at Pebble Beach at
the opening of Monterey Car Week. The BMW Z4 world premiere revealed a
modern interpretation of the classic open-top sports car. A premium
roadster boasting an electrically operated fabric soft top, sporty
handling, and a purist, driver-focused interior design. This was
complemented by premium-quality driver assistance, infotainment, and
connectivity features. Unique in the segment is the three-litre
straight-six engine with TwinPower Turbo technology found in the BMW
Z4 M40i, which has been offered with a manual transmission since 2024.
