2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35i For Sale With 36,000 MilesAutoblogKyle EdwardThu, September 24, 2026 at 2:12 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.Low mileage makes an N54 Z4 tempting, and the service file is what decides whether that temptation is sensible. This Jet Black sDrive35i shows 36,000 miles with a clean Carfax and a retractable hardtop, but the listing mentions no maintenance history at all. Bidding stands at $500 with four days remaining and one bid placed.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowData from Kelley Blue Book puts the 2009 Z4 resale value at $11,450 with a trade-in value of $8,275, after 8% depreciation across three years. Used Z4 sDrive35i listings run from $10,225 to $34,000, with the upper end dominated by later cars and the sDrive35is.AdvertisementAdvertisementMileage lifts this one above the published figure, while the missing records hold it back. At 36,000 miles it has covered far less than typical for its age, but an undocumented N54 carries real risk. Fair value lands between $13,000 and $19,000, with $15,500 most likely. The current bid of $500 has four days to run.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerCondition and detailsThe specification is straightforward. The car carries a power-retractable hardtop, adaptive xenon headlights, 17-inch Style 292 wheels on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, heated power-adjustable seats in black leatherette, a BMW Professional CD stereo, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. The owner's manuals and a car cover accompany the sale, and the selling dealer has posted paint meter readings and an imperfections video.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerThe service history is the question that matters. The listing mentions no maintenance records, and the N54 is known for high-pressure fuel pump, injector, wastegate, and electric water pump failures that turn a cheap roadster expensive. Low mileage does not protect against age-related wear on those parts. The number of keys included is not specified by the seller.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerTwo cosmetic items are disclosed. The front bumper cover is misaligned on the passenger side and there are paint chips on the front end, and since the Carfax shows no accidents, the paint meter readings are worth reviewing closely. A pre-purchase inspection from a BMW specialist should include a fuel system check and a scan for stored faults.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeBMWModelZ4 sDrive35i (E89)Year2009Mileage36,000 milesEngineTwin-turbocharged 3.0-liter N54B30 inline-sixPower300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torqueTransmissionSeven-speed dual-clutch automaticDrive typeRear wheel driveExterior colorJet BlackInterior colorBlack leatheretteCurrent bid$500 with four days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the Z4 sDrive35i uniqueThe E89 turned the Z4 into a two-in-one car. BMW replaced the soft top of the earlier Z4 with a two-piece retractable hardtop for 2009, giving a coupe's refinement when closed and a roadster's openness when down, and paired it with the twin-turbocharged N54 that had already made a name in the 335i.2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35iBring a TrailerTunability and fragility share the same engine. The N54 responds dramatically to software tuning, which built a devoted following, but its fuel system and turbocharger components demand attention as they age. That is why documented examples trade at meaningful premiums over cars with unknown histories, and why a clean record matters more on this car than the odometer does.My takeAt $500 with one bid and four days to run, my call is $15,500, with $19,000 possible if the low mileage and hardtop draw the right buyer. What appeals is the combination, since 36,000 miles on an N54 roadster with a retractable hardtop and a clean Carfax is an uncommon pairing in this price range. What keeps the number modest is everything unrecorded, because the listing offers no service history on an engine that punishes neglect, and the misaligned bumper cover deserves an explanation alongside the paint meter readings. Get a specialist inspection, then bid what the records allow.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
