The BMW Z4 is officially on last laps. After more than twenty years of straight six soundtracks and sunset roof down drives, BMW is pulling the plug on its two seat roadster, and marking the moment with a limited run Final Edition that leans into drama rather than nostalgia. Production wraps in early 2026, and once the Final Edition is done there is no replacement waiting in the wings. This really is last call for a BMW roadster.
The send off car is built around the Z4 M40i, so you still get the turbocharged 3.0 litre straight six with about 382 horsepower, rear drive and a choice of manual or automatic depending on market. BMW has not chased more power here. The focus is on spec and attitude. Every Final Edition wears BMW Individual Frozen Black paint with Shadowline trim, blacked out grille and mirrors, red brake calipers and staggered wheels, with 19 inch fronts and 20 inch rears stuffed deep into the arches.
Inside, BMW does the full farewell treatment. The cabin mixes black leather and Alcantara with red contrast stitching that runs across the seats, dash, console and door cards. M tricolour seat belts and illuminated Final Edition sill plates make sure everyone who climbs in knows this is the last of the line. Spec is basically maxed out from the factory, with the Premium and Driving Assistance packages and a Harman Kardon sound system made standard in markets like the United States, where pricing lands around seventy eight thousand dollars.
BMW is keeping numbers low. The Final Edition will be built only for a few months, roughly from February to April 2026, and the company openly hints the car is aimed at collectors who understand this could be the last proper manual friendly BMW roadster. Sales of the G29 Z4 never really caught fire and that, plus the shift toward crossovers and electric models, killed off any chance of a successor, even though demand nudged up slightly in 2025. Once these Final Edition cars are gone, the roadster slot in the BMW range will sit empty, with only 4 Series and 8 Series convertibles left to chase open sky.
For lovers of old school straight six roadsters, this feels like the last track on the album. The Z4 Final Edition is not about reinvention. It is a black clad, fully loaded, limited run curtain call, aimed squarely at the drivers who still want a small two seater, a long bonnet, and a gearbox they shift themselves before that whole recipe gets filed under history.
