Current Ask
SOLD

For years, the BMW Z4 M40i has occupied a sweet spot in the modern roadster world: compact, rear-wheel drive, open-top, and powered by BMW’s turbocharged inline-six. The Handschalter Edition takes that formula and pushes it much closer to the sort of sports car enthusiasts have been asking BMW to build. Instead of relying on an automatic, this 2026 BMW Z4 M40i Handschalter Edition pairs its 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with a 6-speed manual transmission, restoring a level of involvement that has become increasingly rare in modern performance cars. Finished in San Remo Green Metallic over Cognac Vernasca leather, this example also brings together the Handschalter, Premium, Driving Assistance, and Shadowline packages, along with adaptive M suspension, an M Sport differential, red-calipered M Sport brakes, a head-up display, Harman Kardon surround sound, and 19-inch M wheels. It is a specification that blends traditional roadster character with modern BMW performance, making it as appealing for a back-road drive as it is for a top-down weekend cruise.
