Highlights
- Low-mileage, well-specified example of BMW’s desirable compact roadster
- Free-revving 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a slick manual gearbox
- Less than 32,000 miles from new
- Comes with the rare and highly sought-after detachable hard top
- Dry-stored and driven sparingly since the seller’s purchase two years ago
The Appeal
For many BMW enthusiasts, the marque’s defining formula is a naturally aspirated straight-six engine driving the rear wheels via a manual gearbox – a combination that’s become increasingly rare in today’s world.
This Z4 delivers precisely that, combining its ‘purist’ spec with modest mileage, a tasteful all-grey color scheme, and the desirable detachable hard top for even greater year-round usability. Compact, handsome, and refreshingly analogue by modern standards, the E85-generation Z4 has increasingly come to be viewed as one of the marque’s last truly old-school roadsters.
Whether added to a collection or enjoyed as a retro daily driver or weekend toy, it’s sure to provide an engaging open-top driving experience for its next owner.

BEFORE YOU BUY
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
