BMW Z4 (E89) Oil Reset Guide

The BMW 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, and meant there were no longer separate roadster and coupé versions of the car.[1] There was no Z4 M model for the E89 generation.
