The BMW Z4 window sticker — build, options & years
The BMW Z4 ran from 2003–2026 across 4 generations (2003–2005, 2008, 2011–2017, 2020–2023). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Premium fuel, Rear-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the BMW Z4 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Z4, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,925 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 408 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Z4 under Two Seaters, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Z4's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2003 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Z4 sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 6 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used Z4 sells for now
The label froze the Z4 price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Z4 by model year, from 119 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 8 listings | |
| 2009 | 13 listings | |
| 2008 | 8 listings | |

| 2006 | 9 listings | |
| 2005 | 17 listings | |
| 2004 | 19 listings | |

Where to find the VIN on a BMW Z4
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Z4, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a BMW Z4 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A BMW Z4 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
