The Final Bow: BMW Z4 M40i Final Edition

The End of an Era

After years of buzzing among convertible fans and driving purists, BMW Z4 — at least in its current G29 form — is officially heading into the sunset. Production is slated to end in early 2026, and the Z4’s final U.S. appearance comes in the form of the Z4 M40i Final Edition, a special-run sendoff for the two-seat roadster. bmwblog.com+1

What the Final Edition Brings: A Loaded Farewell

• One look, one choice — U.S. buyers get a fully loaded, fixed-spec model: no endless options or upgrades to sift through. Choose your transmission: a classic six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. bmwblog.com+2BimmerFile+2

• Distinctive style — The Final Edition comes in a dramatic “Frozen Black” matte paint (from BMW Individual), paired with a standard Shadowline package that darkens the grille, mirror caps, exhaust tips and other trim for a stealthy, aggressive aesthetic. bmwblog.com+2Автомобильный портал 32CARS.RU+2

• Performance-ready stance — It rides on staggered 800M wheels: 19-inch rims up front with 255/35 R19 tires, and 20-inch wheels at the rear with 285/30 R20 tires. Red-caliper M Sport brakes complete the look. bmwblog.com+1

• Interior touches for enthusiasts — Inside features a blend of Vernasca leather and Alcantara, sharply accented by red contrast stitching that flows across seats, door cards, console and dash. The door sills bear “Z4 FINAL EDITION,” and even the seat belts wear BMW’s iconic tricolor M stripe — little details making a big statement. BimmerFile+2Carscoops+2

• Fully equipped — no small print — Every Final Edition ships standard with the Driving Assistance Package, Premium Package, and a premium audio system by Harman Kardon. That means you’re getting performance plus comfort and modern convenience out of the box. bmwblog.com+1

     Price & Production — What Dealers Need to Know

• Sticker price: $78,675 — whether you want the manual or automatic, BMW keeps it consistent. bmwblog.com+1

• Build window: U.S. production runs from February through April 2026. That’s it. After that, the G29 Z4 will be history. bmwblog.com+1

• Why now matters: The Final Edition is reportedly the most expensive Z4 to date — but given its significance, rarity, and all-in spec, it could very well become a future collector’s item. bmwblog.com+2BMW Group PressClub+2

          What This Means for Buyers and Dealers

For buyers, the Z4 M40i Final Edition is a “last chance” — a loaded, perfectly finished, end-of-line roadster that blends nostalgia and performance. For dealers, this edition presents both opportunity and urgency: there will be limited allocation, and once this window is closed, the Z4 as we know it will vanish from BMW’s lineup.

          The Legacy — Why the Z4 Mattered

The Z4 (G29) represents the modern reinterpretation of BMW’s storied open-top sports-car tradition: two-seater, long hood, a driver-first focus. Introduced in 2018, it offered a pure roadster experience, culminating in a high-revving straight-six with the M40i — once even offered with a manual transmission for true enthusiasts.

Now, with the Final Edition, BMW is putting an exclamation point on this chapter. No successor has been announced — meaning the Z as a pure two-seater roadster may well be gone for good (at least for the foreseeable future).
