Used BMW Z4 Bonnet Latch

The BMW Z4 E85 ran from 2003 to 2009, and within that generation the bonnet latch is expected to be consistent across the run, but there was a facelift around 2006 that brought changes to the front end including the grille and lights. Whether the bonnet latch itself interchanges across that 2006 facelift boundary is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before you buy. Engine and roof style (roadster or coupe) do not affect which latch you need.

The E89 Z4 replaced the E85 in 2009 and is a completely different platform with a different bonnet and front-end structure, so its bonnet latch will not be a direct fit for an E85. You should make sure you and the breaker are both working from the same generation when sourcing this part. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can cross-reference accurately.

No, trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the E89 Z4, which ran from 2009 to 2016 and was available in SE, sDrive20i, sDrive28i, and M Sport grades among others. The bonnet and its latch are shared across those trim levels within the generation, so a latch from an M Sport donor is mechanically the same as one from an SE. You may just notice cosmetic differences in the surrounding area if the donor car had different paint or trim finish.

Both a 2013 and a 2016 Z4 are within the E89 generation, which ran from 2009 to 2016 with no significant facelift that would affect the bonnet latch, so fitment is generally expected to be compatible. That said, it is always worth confirming with the breaker against both registrations before committing to the purchase. Engine variant and trim level do not affect which latch is fitted.

On the E85 generation, BMW offered both the roadster and the coupe (E86) body styles, but the bonnet and front-end structure was shared between them, meaning the bonnet latch should be the same part. The E89 generation was only produced as a retractable hardtop roadster, so body style is not a variable there. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain, but body style is not expected to be a complication for this part.

No, the engine fitted to your Z4 does not affect which bonnet latch you need, whether you have a four-cylinder, six-cylinder, or the M-badged variant. The bonnet and its latch are part of the shared front-end structure across the generation regardless of what is under the bonnet. Just make sure the donor car is from the same generation as your Z4 and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
