Production end for the UK G29

[sars]

@G29, Woohoo what a great Christmas present that would be, unless you have 100mm of snow

 

[G29]

I am swapping from x drive, a white xmas would not be welcome!

A year on since the manual shipped in thr UK

31 manuals registered till end 2Q 2025..down from 34 in 1Q 2025

In the same period as manual M40i became available, 292 M40i auto sold

So about 10% of G29 M40 folks went manual..

I see in Germany on the Z4 site not many folks there have one (4) so far..

Wonder what the US sales are like?

Statistics ..

Somewhat dated figures, but the latest I could find show that 65% of the Z4s sold in the US in 2024 had manual transmissions, with 2,129 sold in total. So at least it's the majority of a niche?

I can see from the amount of US based coverage that they are having a much more intense love affair with the manual..not reflected here I think..

Thanks for sharing, so they did pull a Final Edition out of the hat afterall, although clearly just for the US market.
Given I’m in UK market, a moot point for me, but I’d be glad I hadn’t waited on the FE as pretty understated black on black.

On the German press BMW homepage you can read it too:

Die BMW Z4 Final Edition. Eine exklusive Auflage der Roadster-Ikone.

Pure Fahrfreude gehört unveränderbar zur DNA der Marke BMW. Der BMW Z4 steht dabei als Roadster für ein besonders intensives Fahrerlebnis. Mit der BMW Z4 Final Edition haben Fans jetzt zeitlich limitiert die Möglichkeit, eine besondere Auflage mit Sammler-Potenzial zu erwerben.

Perhaps also on the UK homepage?

This is the final roadster BMW will make for a while | Autocar

Production of the Toyota GR Supra-twinned G29-generation Z4 will come to an end in March 2026

I think that looks great! Shame only in black but would really quite like one!

I absolutely prefer mine with the cognac seats, over matt black paint and black with red piping seats. You can now get the 19"/20" staggered set up now on all final edition models.

The ICE 718 Boxster and Caymans are no longer available now too.

It’s interesting this focus on performance. I am seeing less and less people interested in that. I can’t remember the last time I saw a Porsche or Ferrari driving fast. The only people who seem interested in how fast their car accelerates is the Ford Focus and Fiat 500 crew lol

Knowing what it will do is enough. Occasionally give it a blast but only when the wife is not in the car

Only those with excellent taste select the cognac seats

I think that because all the final edition are mainly for the us market.

Finally picked up my Handschalter, too early for first impressions but very happy so far.

@G29 Woohoo, you will not be disappointed

Amazing! Congrats @G29, looks awesome! My thundernight on cognac handschalter was at Southampton port just pre-Christmas, so should be collecting it in the next couple of weeks!!
You have my original H/S spec (thundernight on ivory) but got jittery on longevity of Ivory staying clean hence swapped out to cognac! Enjoy!!

According to the BMW GB club magazine this month this will be available to order in the Uk. A small ordering window will open at the end of January 2026. 2.0 and m40 models available as well a range of colours at no cost, however the expectation is that frozen black will be popular as its unique to the final run. Final addition trim added approximately £3,670 to the Uk pricing of both models. Both gearboxes available as well.
