No two doors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No — the E85 (2002–2008) and E89 (2009–2016) are completely different generations with different body structures, so their doors are not interchangeable. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact generation you need.
The E89 Z4 received a facelift in 2013, but the fundamental door shell and frame remained within the same generation throughout 2009–2016. Whether any detail changes around that 2013 facelift affect a specific door's fitment is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, just to be safe.
Yes, it absolutely matters — doors are side-specific. UK convention is NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right), and you must specify the correct side when requesting a quote. Fitting the wrong side is not possible, so always state NS or OS clearly to the breaker.
Colour has no bearing on whether a door fits your Z4; fitment is determined by the door shell and frame, not the paint. A breaker's door in a different colour can be resprayed to match your car, so don't rule out a correctly fitting door just because the colour is wrong.
Engine and trim level do not affect door fitment on the Z4 — the door shell is the same regardless of whether it came from an entry-level or higher-specification model. Bear in mind that some cosmetic details such as door mirror finish may differ between specifications, but these are cosmetic rather than structural fitment issues. Confirm any mirror feature specifics (electric folding, indicators, etc.) with the breaker against your registration.
Because the Z4 is a two-door roadster throughout both the E85 and E89 generations, the most critical details to provide are the generation (E85 2002–2008 or E89 2009–2016), the side required (NS or OS), and your full registration number. There are no additional door-count variables to worry about as there would be on a hatchback or saloon, but giving your registration lets the breaker pinpoint any detail differences within a generation.
