2007 BMW Z4 E86 Coupé - Ruby Black Metallic

Highlights

• Rare E86 Coupé variant, increasingly hard to find
• Striking factory Ruby Black Metallic with white leather interior
• Maintained by BMW garages and BMW specialists throughout current ownership
• In current ownership for nearly six years
• Service history invoices available covering both prior and current ownership

The Appeal

The Z4 E86 Coupé was produced in far fewer numbers than its roadster sibling, and its fixed roof brought a stiffer chassis, a more usable boot, and a silhouette that many regard as one of BMW's most attractive cars of the past 20 years.

This example wears Ruby Black Metallic — a colour that the vendor notes reveals subtle blue and red metallic flecks in sunlight - over a white leather interior with M Sport heated seats and an M Sport steering wheel. The vendor reports the exterior presents well with only light age-related marks and no scrapes, while all original features and instruments are said to be in working order. The car is factory standard throughout, with no modifications.

Purchased in October 2020 with approximately 42,000 miles on the clock, the car was a regular driver up until November 2025, with it spending much of 2026 on SORN due to minimal use since. It now shows just over 72,000 miles. It's a handsome example of a genuinely rare Beamer, and we expect it'll garner plenty of interest at auction.
