Unveiled in New Jersey, this special M40i isn’t just any car: it’s a collector’s keepsake and a farewell note all in one. Production is small and only runs from February to April 2026, so don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
You have the choice of a six-speed manual (yes, really) or an eight-speed automatic, and they all charge the same way. Price? $77,500 plus $1,175 for delivery – identical for every lucky buyer.
This Roadster is more luxurious than the Toyota GR Supra
While the Toyota GR Supra delivers impressive performance, this roadster takes the experience to the next level with unparalleled luxury and refined craftsmanship.
One final twist on Frozen Black
For its final curtain call, the Z4 certainly looks like the cult classic it has become. The Final Edition is finished in BMW Individual Frozen Black, a matte finish that really makes the sharp lines and proportions of the long hood and short deck stand out.
Glossy black accents from the Shadowline package enhance the drama. The grille, mirrors, aero parts and exhaust tips all get the same sleek treatment, bringing the whole look together.
BMW’s ‘Moonlight Black’ soft top completes the monochrome vibe, with just a flash of red on the brake calipers to keep things interesting.
The Latest edition rolls on a staggered setup: 19-inch M Dual-Spoke 800M wheels up front with 255-width tires, and beefy 20-inch rear wheels shod in 285s.

Z4 Roadster
A cabin built with a purpose
The interior of the Z4 Final Edition tends towards subtle drama. Vernasca leather and Alcantara wrap the M sports seats, while red contrast stitching sweeps across the dashboard, doors, center console and even the floor mats. The ‘Z4 FINAL EDITION’ door sills and M-striped seat belts emphasize the commemorative atmosphere.
The standard equipment leaves nothing out. The car comes with the driving assistance and premium packages, a head-up display, parking assistant and a Harman Kardon surround sound system – basically all the comfort and safety features that BMW offers on the Z4.
The 2026 BMW M240i proves that you don’t need an M2 to have fun
The 2026 BMW M240i delivers thrilling performance, sharp handling and everyday comfort, all without the M2’s high price tag.
Manual drivers get the full experience
The Final Edition with manual gearbox is not just about shifting, it actually drives differently. Lucky owners of the six-speed gearbox get the full Edition Handschalter treatment, with revised auxiliary springs, a reinforced front anti-roll bar clamp, new rear damper mapping, updated variable steering and unique logic for both traction control and the M Sport differential.
BMW didn’t just fall into trouble; they designed the chassis around it. It’s their way of rewarding anyone brave enough to step on three pedals.
The final chapter for a BMW classic
The Z4 first appeared on the scene in 2002, following the Z3 and continuing BMW’s long line of open-top sports cars – from the 328 and 507 to the Z8. The original Z4, built in Spartanburg, South Carolina, attracted fans with its perfect 50/50 weight balance, stiff chassis and fun-to-drive driving experience.
The next generation, launched in 2008, brought a retractable hardtop and was the first BMW roadster to get iDrive.
The current Z4, unveiled at Pebble Beach in 2018, went back to a fabric soft top and evolved into a refined, modern driving machine with an inline six-cylinder heart. It is this generation that is now getting the Final Edition broadcast.
A farewell you will never forget
With its limited edition, exclusive Frozen Black paint, commemorative details and available manual, the Z4 definitive edition feels less like a trim and more like a full celebration of BMW’s classic roadster formula. For enthusiasts, the message is simple: this is the last chance to get your hands on a piece of BMW roadster history.
BMW has discontinued two-seater convertibles before (the second-generation Z4 ended in 2016, three years before the third-generation arrived), but it’s still a shame to see the brand once again moving away from sports cars, especially when they’ve done so well.
There is hope, however: BMW has not ruled out a fourth-generation Z4 based on the Neue Klasse platform. For now we just have to keep our fingers crossed.
