2001 | BMW Z3 Coupé 3.0

**The BMW Z3 Roadster **(E36/7) was the first two-door mass-produced roadster in the BMW portfolio since the BMW 503 and the Z1. It was manufactured and assembled exclusively in the newly built factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA. The Z3 Coupé (E36/8), available from August 1998, was also produced exclusively there, but had no "role models" like the Roadster.

BMW wanted to increase its independence from currency fluctuations and become more competitive in the US market by establishing a new factory in the USA. The quality of the vehicles produced there was comparable to that of BMWs manufactured in Germany.

The Z3 Roadster and the Coupé were based on the BMW 3 Series Compact platform. In August 1998, the Z3 series was expanded to include a true "shooting brake coupé" (a two-seater "sports car station wagon"), which was first presented at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show. These closed vehicles were only available with the 2.8-liter (later 3.0-liter) six-cylinder engines familiar from the roadsters, or as an M Coupé with a 3.2-liter engine and 325 hp. The design of the coupé was initially quite controversial, and the Shooting Brake Z3 Coupé was sometimes disparagingly referred to as a "sneaker." Today, this then-polarizing design has not only retroactively established itself, but the coupé has also become a very well-aged, highly interesting collector's item. Accordingly, prices are higher than those of Z3 roadsters with the same engine. The BMW Z3 Coupé is sporty to drive and also practical, reliable, and attractively priced to purchase, maintain, and care for. Today, it has a loyal following and has already become a sought-after collector's item as a modern classic. Prices for good, well-maintained examples are continuously rising.

**The BMW Z3 Coupe 3.0 offered here **dates back to 2001 and was first registered in Berlin on September 3, 2001. It has undergone all model updates. A total of 771 coupes with 3-liter displacement, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive were produced for all markets outside North America, 19 of which were in the rare Sterling Gray Metallic and three in the configuration presented here. The coupe's trunk is spacious enough to accommodate two people on vacation with luggage.

It is accident-free and in mint condition. The mileage is verifiable and is 30,400 km. It features a beautiful classic color combination: the paint is Sterling Gray Metallic, and the interior is made of Oregon Point Extended/Black leather (full leather interior). It rides on multi-piece original 17" cross-spoke wheels with high-quality mixed tires. A strut brace was also installed. With its 231 hp 3.0l 6-cylinder engine (M54), it offers very sporty performance even by today's standards. Thanks to the installed 5-speed automatic transmission with ZF Steptronic, the coupe is child's play to drive. The top speed is 242 km/h, the sprint from 0-100 km/h takes 6.3 seconds, and peak power is reached at 6,500 rpm. The M54 naturally aspirated engine runs silky smooth, revs like a turbine, and has earned a reputation as a once-in-a-century engine. This BMW has always been professionally maintained. A Classic Data report certifies that the coupe's overall condition is rated 1-. It will receive a fresh MOT and a full inspection by us before delivery.
