2009 BMW Z4 sDrive23i Retractable Hardtop - Deep Sea Blue Metallic - 275,641km - 2.5L Inline-6, 6-Speed Automatic, Recently Rebuilt Engine
2009 BMW Z4 sDrive23i E89 retractable hardtop convertible, 2.5-litre inline-6, 6-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, 275,641km, 2 seats.
Overview
The E89 Z4 is BMW's second-generation roadster, bringing a folding metal hardtop to the lineup for the first time. The sDrive23i pairs a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated inline-6 (N52B25) with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering 150kW and 250Nm through the rear wheels. Finished in Deep Sea Blue Metallic over cream leather, this is a classic BMW colour combination that presents well in the metal. The retractable hardtop gives you the best of both worlds: coupe refinement when closed, open-air motoring when the sun comes out.
At 275,641 kilometres this Z4 has covered serious distance, but the engine has been comprehensively rebuilt (May 2025, $7,500 invoice on file) with new pistons, rings, bearings, gasket kit, timing chain, full cylinder head work, and both camshaft VANOS units. That is a thorough refresh of the N52's known service items. The rebuild comes with a 6-month warranty from the workshop. For buyers who understand BMW inline-6 engines, this represents a mechanically sorted foundation.
The Deep Sea Blue Metallic paintwork holds reasonable gloss from a few metres back, though close inspection reveals accumulated road wear: stone chips on the bonnet leading edge, swirl marks across most panels, water spot etching, and early clear coat fatigue on the bonnet and rear quarter. A professional machine polish would bring significant improvement. The cream leather interior shows wear on the seat bolsters consistent with the kilometres, with darkening and dye loss on the driver's side entry point. No tears or structural damage to the seats. The dashboard, centre console trim, and iDrive system are all intact and functional. Two BMW keys and the owner's manual are included.
At a current bid of $4,900, this is affordable BMW roadster ownership with a recently rebuilt engine, a folding metal hardtop, cream leather, iDrive navigation, and dual-zone climate control. New Z4s start at $142,700. Even accounting for the kilometres and cosmetic wear, the value proposition here is hard to argue with.
