Interior

The BMW Z4 (E89) is the second generation of the BMW Z4 range of two-door roadsters, and was produced from 2009 to 2016. The E89 replaced the E85/E86 Z4 and is the fourth model in the BMW Z Series.

The E89 Z4 was the first Z Series model to use a retractable hardtop roof, which meant that there were no longer separate roadster and coupé versions of the car.[2] There was no Z4 M model for the E89 generation.[3]

The Z4 (E89) was succeeded by the Z4 (G29) in 2018.[4]
