The Appeal

The Z4 finally took the fight to Porsche’s Boxster. ‘Flame’ surfacing mixed with typically agile BMW dynamics and engines to deliver one of the best two-seaters of the last 20 years.

This Black Sapphire 2007 Z4’s desirable specification starts with its 180bhp N52 2.5L straight six Z4 and 6spd manual gearbox. It features M Sport interior features and suspension, plus upgraded 18-inch bolted, split rim five-spoke alloys that add extra purpose to the classic sports car aesthetics.

The car has been well-maintained throughout its life. The current keeper acquired it in 2021 and has kept up this tradition. He has ensured regular maintenance right up to May 2025, when the car was serviced and received new front callipers.

The car comes to market with its private plate included - the original one is supplied to - and a lengthy, advisory-free MOT valid to May 2026.

The vendor says:

“It's a fantastic convertible that offers a brilliant open-top driving experience. It's been an absolute pleasure to own – responsive, fun, and comfortable. I've loved driving it around the city as well as taking it on scenic countryside and national park drives. The only reason for selling is the need to upgrade to a larger family car.”
