Manual BMW Z4 E85 2.5i Roadster 2004 – Rare Red Leather interior, Excellent Original Condition
This BMW Z4 represents the sweet spot of the E85 range — the smooth 2.5 paired with a manual gearbox, finished with a standout factory red leather interior that perfectly complements the gunmetal grey exterior. Cars in this configuration are becoming increasingly hard to find, particularly in original, unmodified condition.
A full new soft top roof was professionally installed in 2021 which is still under warranty, addressing one of the most significant ownership costs these cars face. A brand new battery has just been fitted, along with new run flat tyre.
With only two careful lady owners from new, this Z4 has been exceptionally well looked after and presents as a genuine enthusiast’s car.
Mechanically, the car presents very well. It drives tightly and confidently, with smooth clutch engagement and gearbox operation. The roof functions as it should, and the car feels solid and responsive on the road.
The interior is a real highlight — the factory red leather seats lift the cabin and give the car a proper sports car feel, setting it apart from the many black interior examples currently on the market. Externally, the car presents well for its age and remains fully original, avoiding the questionable aftermarket modifications that affect many examples.
