Even the Alpina factory records are (slightly) ambiguous but the accepted number built overall is 370 - all cars, LHD or RHD, were assigned sequential build numbers and your build number just means that your car was #185 out of the 370 built.

According to my records your car, #185, would have been the 86th RHD car assigned a build number. It was part of a batch of Z4s assembled at the BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina in June 2004 and subsequently transported to the Alpina plant in Buchloe, Germany for dismantling/conversion to Alpina specification. This takes some time and, after conversion, it was then shipped to the UK and had it's first UK registration in April 2005.

Did some checks on my Z4 with help from you guys. Just bought what seems to be a BMW Nav disc 2018 with firmware for £22 ish. Seems like a bargain. Search on Ebay for (GENUINE BMW 2018 High Navigation Maps Europe Sat Nav Disc DVD X5 E53 Z4 E46 M3).

It looks like a 2018 version. Looks good to me. Might help you guys out.
Roadster S Lux. Build Number 185#. Number 86 of 167 RHD manufactured. 75,000 miles.
