BMW to Keep Making Z4 Because People Keep Buying Them: Report 

 

 

 The BMW Z4 might be sticking around for longer than expected. The German roadster was rumored to bow out in October 2025, though a report dating back to 2023 suggested production had been extended to March of next year. Now, a new rumor claims Z4 production has been stretched even further, to May 2026—but only for American-market cars.


BMW Blog, citing a trusted source at the Bimmerpost forums, says production of the US-specification Z4 M40i—the only trim available with a manual transmission—has been extended another two months. The source doesn't cite a reason for the extension, but we can make a couple of educated guesses.



Sales of the Z4 jumped by 13.1 percent in 2024 after BMW finally made the manual transmission available in the United States. A spokesperson confirmed to Motor1 earlier this year that the stick shift  "absolutely" contributed to the Z4's sales growth. "The response has been wonderfully enthusiastic," they said.



Upon seeing the increase in sales, BMW likely decided to keep the Z4 around for a bit longer. And with the manual expected to disappear from the company's lineup entirely by 2030, the company potentially predicts sales will continue as buyers snag the very last manual Z4s before they're gone forever. 


The same Bimmerpost source claims May 2026 is also when production of the Toyota Supra will end. Avid enthusiasts will know the Supra and the Z4 share a platform, and are built on the same assembly line by Magna Steyr in Austria. So that makes sense.

'No One Showed Interest:' Pagani Customers Don't Want An Electric Hypercar

Image
 Pagani doesn't have trouble selling its cars. With around 50 produced every year, buyers are content to wait for an extremely long time to get their very own hand-built Italian supercar. That is, unless it's electric. In an interview with CarBuzz, Pagani spokesperson Sebastian Berridi revealed past plans for an all-electric performance car from the brand. But when the company showed this idea to customers, there was absolutely zero demand. So the idea was scrapped. "When we started the development of the Utopia eight years ago, we dedicated a team to a fully battery-electric model," Berridi told CarBuzz. "The idea was to launch an electric Utopia and [a] combustion version. We never thought of a hybrid because we believed it was very complex. The technology was not at its peak in that period." Pagani Had Plans for an EV, But No One Was Interested Despite investing what sounds like a significant sum into the electric Utopia's development, Pagani ultimate...
