BMW Z4 Final Edition marks the end of the iconic roadster with exclusive Frozen Matt Black paint, bespoke interior details and a limited 2026 order window.
Frozen Matt Black, bespoke interior details and a limited ordering window mark the beginning of the end for BMW’s legendary open-top sports car.
The BMW Z4, one of the purest expressions of BMW’s open-air driving heritage, is officially entering its final chapter. With production scheduled to end in March 2026, the brand bids farewell to its iconic roadster with a special, highly curated series: the BMW Z4 Final Edition.
A short ordering window will open in late January 2026, making this version a potential future collector’s item. Designed as both a tribute and a finale, the Final Edition enhances the Z4’s classic long-hood, rear-set cabin proportions with exclusive exterior and interior features unavailable on any previous Z4.
Frozen Matt Black: A Farewell Colour Exclusive to the Final Edition
The most striking hallmark of the Final Edition is its Frozen Matt Black paint offered exclusively on this version. The matte finish sharpens the Z4’s muscular roadster stance and gives the car a more dramatic, modern edge.
The exterior package also includes:
- M High-gloss Shadowline trim
- M Sport brakes finished in High-gloss Red
- Optional selection from the regular Z4 colour palette at no extra cost
This combination enhances the Z4’s visual aggression while keeping the understated elegance that has defined the model since 2002.
Interior: Sporty Red Accents and Exclusive Details
Inside, the Final Edition blends Vernasca leather and Alcantara with bespoke red contrast stitching designed specifically for this version.
Exclusive cabin details include:
- M Alcantara steering wheel with matching red stitching
- Specially engraved “Final Edition” door sills
- Red-stitched instrument panel, centre console and door panels
These enhancements create a cohesive, performance-oriented aesthetic that sets the Final Edition apart from the standard Z4 lineup.

Piston Kafalar Comment
This Final Edition feels like BMW’s farewell letter to pure roadster culture. In a market shifting toward electrification, a rear-drive, open-top, six-cylinder BMW is becoming a rarity. The special colour, bespoke cabin details and limited availability will almost certainly make this version collectible. For purists, this isn’t just a model update it’s the last chance to experience an authentic BMW roadster as we’ve known it for decades.
