The BMW Z4, internally designated E85, arrived in 2002 as a striking successor to the beloved Z3. Designed by Anders Warming, its "flame surfacing" design language was a bold departure, polarizing some but ultimately establishing a distinctive identity in the roadster segment. More rigid and dynamically capable than its predecessor, the Z4 aimed to deliver a purer driving experience, blending BMW's hallmark inline-six smoothness with a responsive chassis. It quickly earned a reputation for its engaging handling and spirited performance, particularly when optioned with the larger engines, cementing its place as a quintessential modern BMW roadster. This 2004 Z4 2.5i, with 94,000 miles on its odometer, represents an accessible entry into the E85 generation. Power comes from the robust 2.5-liter M54 inline-six engine, paired here with an automatic transmission, offering a smooth and enjoyable open-air driving experience. While the convertible top currently requires attention – the motor is included for repair – and the passenger window is inoperable, these present an opportunity for a new owner to restore this sleek roadster to its full glory. This is a chance to acquire a compelling example of BMW's distinctive roadster and bring it back to its best.
