As-new Z3 Roadster in a beautiful colour combination !!!!
The BMW Z3 (E36/7) was the first two-door roadster produced in large numbers in BMW's portfolio since the BMW 503 and the Z1. It was exclusively manufactured and assembled at the newly built factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina/USA.
With a new factory in the USA, BMW wanted to become less dependent on currency fluctuations and more competitive on the US market. The quality of the vehicles manufactured there matched that of BMWs produced in Germany. The Z3 Roadster was unveiled in autumn 1994 and was BMW's response to the roadster boom of the 1990s, particularly the Mazda MX-5, whose concept served as a model and which, as a two-seater roadster, had almost been unique up to that point.
The Z3 Roadster was based on the platform of the BMW 3 Series Compact. The coupé version was added during 1998. In total, various versions with 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder and M engines were built between 1994 and 2002. Power outputs ranged from 115 hp with 1.8 litres of displacement to 325 hp in the M models. Around the turn of the millennium, most models underwent a significant revision (facelift); in particular, the rear fenders of the Roadsters were given a more pronounced design, and most engines received increased displacement/power.
The BMW Z3 became a success for BMW: it was attractive to look at, sporty to drive and also practical, reliable and attractively priced in terms of purchase, maintenance and upkeep. Today it has a loyal following and has already become a collector's item as a modern classic. Prices for good and well-maintained examples are continuously rising.
The BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster offered here dates from the 2001 production year and was first registered for road use in Germany on 16.08.2001. It benefited from all model updates. A total of 875 Roadsters with 3-litre displacement, automatic transmission and left-hand drive were produced for all markets outside North America, 60 of them in the rare Sterling Grey and 4 in the configuration presented here.
It is accident-free and in as-new condition. The mileage is 65,892 km and can be verified. It has a beautiful classic colour combination: the paintwork is Sterling Grey, while the interior is Chameleon Dream Red-Black leather. With its 231 hp 3.0-litre 6-cylinder engine (M54), it offers very sporty performance even by today's standards, and the fitted 5-speed automatic transmission with Steptronic by ZF makes the Roadster effortless to drive. The top speed is 236 km/h, it accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, and maximum power is achieved at 6,500 rpm. The M54 naturally aspirated engine runs silky smooth, revs up like a turbine and has earned a reputation as an engine of the century. The BMW has demonstrably always been professionally maintained. A strut brace and original 17" 5-spoke Styling 72 alloy wheels with new Michelin tyres are fitted. It has just received a comprehensive service.
