Description
The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the United States. It was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'Golden Eye'.
The Z3 was designed by Joji Nagashima of the BMW design team and developed from the E36 platform of the 3-Series. The resulting platform is often referred to as the E36/ 7(roadster) or E36/ 8(coupé).
When launched, only the 1. 9 litre straight four engine was offered, but its 138bhp was not up to expectations. A 2. 2 litre engine producing 168bhp was made available for the more enthusiastic driver and in 1997 a powerful six cylinder 2. 8-litre engine producing 190bhp was an option, or a 3. 0-litre straight six with 228bhp.
OUR CAR "GP02 CYS":-
This low mileage Dakar Yellow 2. 2 litre Z3 was first registered 2nd March 2002, an automatic example with electric hood and upgraded alloy wheels this is a bright yet handsome roadster. The car itself is in wonderful condition, it was comprehensively serviced by its couple of owners then was predominantly stored between 2018 and 2024. It has recently been re MoT’d and serviced ready to be retailed and runs very well presenting much like a time warp example. A fun cheap roadster but that stands out and has all the hallmarks of a future classic, with just three former keepers and 42, 000 miles this looks very good value indeed.
Give our knowledge team in Leeds a call on the details below to reserve the car or arrange a viewing.
