The seller offers for sale this 2005 BMW Z4 cabriolet, located in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. This open-top sports car is powered by a 2,500 cc naturally aspirated inline-six petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox, offering a driver-focused experience rooted in BMW’s long-standing rear-wheel-drive performance philosophy. The car has covered a verified 124,000 km and is registered in Spain with documentation included.
Mechanically, the Z4 is described as being in good condition. The engine starts and runs and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The car holds a valid technical inspection (ITV) and is free of rust or accident damage. The exterior features a rare bronze paint finish, noted to be in very good condition. The paint retains great quality, and no bodywork is noted to be required.
Inside, the beige leather interior is noted as being in very good condition. The seats are upholstered in beige leather and appear to be complete and in good condition. The dashboard and central controls remain original, and all major trim elements appear to be in place.
BMW introduced the E85 Z4 in 2002 as a successor to the Z3, aiming to improve driving dynamics, structural rigidity, and refinement. Designed by Anders Warming under Chris Bangle’s design team, the Z4 featured sharper styling and a more aggressive stance. The 2.5L version of the inline-six engine produced around 192 horsepower, delivering smooth and responsive performance through a rear-wheel-drive platform, especially when paired with a manual gearbox, as in this example.
The Z4 was praised for its precise handling, thanks in part to a near 50:50 weight distribution, firm chassis, and direct steering. Unlike its predecessor, the Z4 offered a more mature and composed ride, while still delivering engaging roadster performance. Today, early Z4s are gaining traction among collectors and enthusiasts looking for analog BMW driving characteristics in a modern package.
This 2005 example combines a well-maintained drivetrain, distinctive exterior, and low verified mileage, making it a solid candidate for an affordable modern classic. While the interior would benefit from some restoration, and electrical checks are recommended, the car remains an appealing option for open-top motoring in a genuine six-cylinder BMW roadster.
