Vehicle description: BMW Z4 M Roadster (E85) – Purist classic in collector's condition
Highlights at a glance:
• Model: BMW Z4 M Roadster (E85 series)
• First registration: 03/2007 (facelift era / genuine enthusiast's vehicle)
• Mileage: Only 85,000 km (original and verifiable, original service booklet available)
• Ownership history: Second owner (first owner + current enthusiast)
• Color: Imola Red II (solid paint – the legendary M color, extremely rare on the Z4 M)
Exterior: A visual statement in Imola Red
This Z4 M Roadster turns heads. The Imola Red II paintwork perfectly emphasizes the muscular proportions, long hood and pert rear end. Unlike the common metallic shades (such as silver-gray or black), the original Imola Red gives the roadster an extremely sporty, classic racing look.
• Condition: Very well maintained, deep gloss, minimal and unavoidable signs of use consistent with the low mileage.
• M-specific features: Striking front apron, characteristic hood with the two creases, M exterior mirrors and the legendary four-tailpipe exhaust system at the rear.
• Soft top: Black fabric soft top in excellent condition, opens and closes electrically in just a few seconds.
Interior: Purist cockpit with M genes
The interior is driver-focused and extremely high-quality. Thanks to the low mileage of just 85,000 km, the bolsters of the M sport seats show hardly any wear.
• M equipment: Original M leather steering wheel with the typical three-color M stitching (thick and grippy), M gear knob and instrument scaling with a variable warning zone in the tachometer.
• Condition: The black "Walknappa" leather is matte and supple, and the soft-touch surfaces are virtually unused. Getting in feels like traveling back in time to 2007.
Powertrain & dynamics:
The heart of this roadster is the legendary S54 inline six-cylinder engine (known from the E46 M3), which has been awarded "Engine of the Year" multiple times.
• Engine: 3.2-liter displacement, 343 hp (252 kW) at 7,900 rpm.
• Transmission: Crisp manual 6-speed gearbox – perfect for purists.
• Driving dynamics: An absolute driver's car without artificial filters. Limited-slip differential on the rear axle, hydraulic steering with maximum feedback and an intoxicating mechanical sound that becomes addictive from 5,000 rpm.
History & collector potential
The BMW Z4 M Roadster was built in limited numbers (fewer than 5,100 units worldwide) and is the last of its kind. Vehicles with this configuration are sought-after investments today with guaranteed appreciation:
• Only 2 owners: No confusing history, no "passing it from hand to hand."
• Low mileage: With 85,000 km, perfectly run in but far from worn-out examples.
• Original condition: Unmodified, without any tuning misadventures – exactly as it left the factory in Spartanburg back then.
Conclusion:
This Imola Red Z4 M Roadster is a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. It offers the perfect balance of emotional driving pleasure and solid value potential. A genuine collector's item for the garage, ready to be driven on sunny weekends.
