BMW has officially unveiled the Z4 Final Edition, a special send-off for its long-standing two-seat convertible. With production of the Z4 coming to a close and no successor currently planned, this Final Edition represents the last chapter for BMW’s iconic roadster.
Why the Final Edition Matters
The Z4 has been BMW’s only pure open-top sports car in recent years, known for its rear-wheel-drive dynamics and classic roadster proportions. The Final Edition not only signals the end of production but also the conclusion of BMW’s dedicated convertible line for the foreseeable future. BMW has confirmed that there will be no immediate replacement, highlighting the industry-wide shift toward SUVs and electrification.
Exclusive Design and Exterior Upgrades
While mechanically unchanged, the Z4 Final Edition distinguishes itself visually with upgrades reserved only for this farewell model:
- Exclusive Frozen Matt Black paintwork, a finish not available on regular variants
- Gloss red M Sport brake calipers to provide a contrasting performance look
- Final Edition-branded door sill plates commemorating its special status
The overall styling remains familiar, retaining the Z4’s long bonnet, short tail, and low-slung stance, but the new finish and detailing give the convertible a more aggressive, collector-focused appeal.
Interior Enhancements
Inside, the Final Edition builds on the Z4’s premium cabin but adds unique touches to mark its limited-run status:
- Contrast red stitching across seats, dashboard, and select trim areas
- M Sport bucket seats with leather or Alcantara upholstery
- Alcantara-wrapped M steering wheel, also featuring red stitching
These elements reinforce the car’s sporty character while creating a distinct identity from the standard Z4.
Performance and Powertrain
BMW has not announced any mechanical changes for the Final Edition, meaning it is expected to continue with the same engine and chassis setup as the regular Z4 lineup. This includes the familiar rear-wheel-drive layout and turbocharged petrol engines, depending on the market. The Final Edition focuses on design exclusivity rather than performance upgrades.
Production and Availability
BMW has not specified production numbers, but as a Final Edition, availability is expected to be limited. The company has also not shared any details regarding a possible India launch at this stage.
End of the Roadster Chapter
With the Z4 bowing out and no successor currently under development, BMW is effectively pausing its dedicated convertible programme. This reflects the broader market trend where consumer demand is shifting toward SUVs, EVs, and performance crossovers. For enthusiasts and collectors, the Z4 Final Edition may become a sought-after model, marking the end of BMW’s traditional open-top sports car lineage.
