Description from the seller
Vehicle description – BMW Z4 2.5i Roadster, 2003
For sale is a BMW Z4 2.5i Roadster of the E85 generation, manufactured in August 2003. This is a European-spec example with left-hand drive, equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter six-cylinder M54 petrol engine, 192 HP, manual transmission, and rear-wheel drive.
The car is finished in Sterlinggrau Metallic, with black Oregon leather upholstery. The current mileage is approximately 177,000 km. The vehicle is located in Warsaw, Poland, and is being sold by a dealer of classic and collectible cars. The data come from the provided vehicle description and the car documentation.
Body and paint
The car presents as well cared-for, an early BMW Z4 E85 in a very attractive color configuration. The Sterlinggrau Metallic paint nicely suits the roadster lines and gives the car an elegant, timeless look.
The paint condition should be regarded as good, with normal signs of use appropriate for the age and mileage of the car. This is not a concours restoration, so one should expect minor cosmetic imperfections typical for a roadster over 20 years old.
According to available information, the car had only one minor front parking incident. After inspection, no signs of structural body repairs were found. The body is complete, and the car presents visually cohesive. Exterior elements, glass, lights, and seals look appropriate for the vehicle’s age. The car has a fully automatic fabric soft top, which operates correctly.
The car is equipped with Eibach springs, which improve its stance and give it a sportier character while maintaining normal road usability.
Technical condition
The BMW is powered by the well-regarded naturally aspirated M54 inline-6 2.5-liter engine. The unit runs smoothly, the car starts reliably, and drives well. The M54 engine is one of BMW’s most loved units from the early 2000s – known for smooth operation, good sound, and durability with proper maintenance.
The manual transmission operates properly and suits the car’s character. The drivetrain layout is classic BMW: front-engine, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox. This keeps the Z4 an engaging, analog roadster.
The car has a current technical inspection valid until October 2026 and current insurance. According to the Polish vehicle history report, the last recorded odometer reading was 176,980 km in October 2025.
Available documentation includes service invoices from Germany and Poland. History indicates the car received various servicing and routine maintenance, including work on the roof system, braking system, exhaust components, sensors, wiper mechanism, ignition components, and routine inspections.
The car is operational, ready to drive, and suitable as a weekend roadster or a summer car for regular use.
Interior
The interior is finished in black Oregon leather. The upholstery, dashboard, and door panels look good, with normal signs of use appropriate for the vehicle’s age and mileage.
The car features a good factory specification, including:
- Dynamic Driving Control,
- sport leather steering wheel,
- fully automatic roof,
- prepared for hardtop,
- heated driver and passenger seats,
- Park Distance Control,
- automatic climate control,
- cruise control,
- rain sensor,
- auto-dimming interior mirror,
- onboard computer,
- fog lights,
- plush carpets,
- ISOFIX mounts,
- removal of model designation.
The car’s equipment functions properly, including the automatic roof, which is a key feature for the BMW Z4 E85. The interior retains the original character of the car and shows no signs of aggressive modifications.
Documentation
The car was first registered abroad in December 2003. In Poland, it was registered in October 2023. It currently has a Polish registration certificate, valid technical inspection, and valid insurance.
Available with the car are:
- Polish registration certificate,
- current insurance,
- technical inspection documents,
- service invoices from Germany and Poland.
The car is located in Warsaw, Poland. Transportation within Europe can be arranged at the buyer’s expense.
This is an attractive, well-equipped example of the BMW Z4 2.5i with a naturally aspirated inline-6 engine, manual transmission, and classic rear-wheel drive. The car combines practicality, timeless color configuration, and an increasingly appreciated character of an analog roadster from the early 2000s.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
