About the BMW Z4 E89 sDrive 35i Space Grey Metallic Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast BMW Z4 E89 sDrive35i in Space Grey Metallic reproduces the second-generation Z4, the roadster that swapped a soft top for a retractable hardtop roof. Detailed diecast construction suits a manufacturer known for accurate proportions on modern BMW subjects.
The E89 Z4 dropped BMW's earlier soft-top roadster format for a folding metal roof, a shift that changed the car's silhouette with the top up and gave it a more finished, coupe-like look when closed.
Reproducing a Folding-Roof Roadster at Scale
Space Grey Metallic is a demanding finish, since it shows every surfacing flaw under direct light more readily than a brighter color would, and Kyosho's even application lets the E89's long hood and short rear deck read cleanly. Diecast construction gives the model solid weight, and opening panels give access to a cabin built around the sDrive35i's turbocharged inline-six, a genuine step up in performance intent from earlier four- and six-cylinder Z-series roadsters. The proportions carry the E89's key visual signature: a longer nose than the original Z3 it replaced, built to accommodate that stronger engine and the folding roof mechanism packaged behind the seats.
Positioning the Z4 in a Modern Roadster Collection
The E89 marked BMW's shift toward hardtop convertibles across its lineup, a broader engineering trend this Z4 represents well within a 2000s German sports car display. It sits comfortably alongside other retractable-hardtop roadsters from the same era, offering a useful comparison point for how different manufacturers solved the same folding-roof packaging problem. For a collector building depth in BMW's roadster history, this is a solid, accurately detailed middle chapter.
