The time for retirement is about to come for the legendary BMW Z4, as announced in a press release a few days ago. The Bavarian automaker is celebrating the model’s long and brilliant 23-year career with a special limited-production edition.
The third-generation BMW Z4 has been in production since 2018, while the model itself has existed since 2002.
For Purists
This new and final exclusive series of the German sports car will be offered in just one color: Frozen Black metallic. Red accents can be found in several areas, including on the brake calipers. The car features stunning wheels—19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear—with respective widths of 255 mm and 285 mm.
Under the hood, BMW’s roadster is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine. It delivers 382 horsepower, and the manufacturer even allows buyers to choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic—something quite unusual for a model of this kind.
Inside, the cabin offers a dark, moody atmosphere highlighted by red stitching that enhances the car’s character. The Z4 also features a special “Final Edition” plaque mounted on the door sills.
A Collectors’ Opportunity
The 2026 BMW Z4 Final Edition starts at $99,900—a reasonable amount for a car this exclusive and significant in the model’s history. For comparison, a BMW Z4 M starts at $89,133. We still don’t know exactly how many Z4 Final Edition units will be produced, but it will undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after variants once the model leaves the market.
