About this generation

The second-generation BMW Z4 combined coupe and roadster concepts into a single model featuring an automated retractable aluminum hardtop.

Debuting in early 2009, the second-generation BMW Z4 (E89) marked a major shift in philosophy by replacing both the previous roadster and coupe variants with a single retractable hardtop design. Styled by Juliane Blasi and Nadya Arnaout, the E89 featured a long bonnet, low seating position, and sculpted bodylines. Its two-piece electro-hydraulic aluminum hardtop folded away in just 20 seconds, transforming the car from a quiet, weatherproof coupe into an open-air roadster at the touch of a button.

Under the skin, the E89 evolved from free-breathing engines to forced induction, offering turbocharged four- and six-cylinder petrol units. Range-topping models like the sDrive35is utilized the powerful twin-turbo N54 inline-six paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). With adaptive M suspension and selectable driving modes, the E89 balanced touring refinement with athletic speed, representing a sophisticated chapter in BMW’s sports roadster lineage.
