The BMW Z4 arrived in 2002 as a striking successor to the Z3, bringing with it a bold new design language penned by Chris Bangle's team and Anders Warming. Moving away from the Z3's more traditional lines, the Z4 embraced "flame surfacing," creating a visually dynamic roadster that was both controversial and captivating. Beneath the skin, the Z4 utilized a more sophisticated chassis derived from the E46 3-Series, offering a significant upgrade in handling and rigidity over its predecessor. The initial E85 generation, as offered here, focused on inline-six power, upholding BMW's long-standing tradition of silky-smooth, naturally aspirated engines in its two-seater sports cars. This 2003 BMW Z4 2.5 Roadster, showing just 50,262 miles on the odometer, presents an enticing opportunity for an enthusiast ready to invest some care. Powered by the robust 2.5-liter M54 inline-six engine paired with an automatic transmission, this Z4 runs and drives. While it will require attention to its convertible top motor, suspension components (likely a wheel bearing or control arm), and front windshield cowl, its low mileage offers a solid foundation. The car also exhibits some minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with its age. For the enthusiast with a vision, this Z4 is a chance to revive a distinctive modern classic roadster.
