About the Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto
The 2009 BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto is a rear-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,495 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 121 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.34 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,878th quickest to 60 mph, and the 544th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 94.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,878th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto quarter mile time?
14.95 s at 94.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.67 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto have?
181 bhp and 1,495 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto?
Closest here on pace: Audi A5 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI quattro 225 (6.45 s), MINI Cooper SE Convertible 32.6 KWh 184 (6.50 s), Chrysler Crossfire Roadster (6.50 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW Z4 Roadster (E89) sDrive2.0i 184 Auto is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
