For Sale: 2002 BMW Z3 2. 2i Manual – A Well-Loved Classic
Selling my 2002 BMW Z3 2. 2i manual, a car that’s been an absolute joy to own and drive. I’m the 4th owner, and the previous owner had it for over 10 years, investing thousands into keeping it in great shape. It has a full-service history, with a major service completed in December, so it’s mechanically sound and ready to go.
What Makes This Z3 Special?
• Strong & Reliable – Despite being on 155k miles, this car runs beautifully. I’ve taken it on long trips across the country without a single issue. The straight-six engine pulls strong, and the manual gearbox makes it an engaging drive.
• ULEZ exempt - Last model year and was one of the only years that is Eligible in ULEZ zones.
• Modern Upgrade – I’ve added Apple CarPlay, which makes modern connectivity seamless. That said, I still have the original cassette player if you want to return it to stock.
• MOT Until December – So you’ve got peace of mind for the rest of the year.
• Genuine & Original – The previous owner was a purist who preferred keeping the car in its original state, so the paintwork could use some touch-ups in places. I always intended to have it refreshed but never got around to it.
Why Am I Selling?
I’ve absolutely loved owning this car, but it’s time to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it just as much. If you’re looking for a well-maintained, mechanically solid Z3 that’s a pleasure to drive, this could be the one for you.
Any questions? Just drop me a message!The BMW Z3 is a special car, blending classic roadster charm with reliable German engineering.

It’s a driver’s car through and through—raw, engaging, and free from unnecessary distractions. The steering is precise, the manual gearbox is smooth, and the chassis gives you that perfect connection to the road. If you love old-school driving with modern reliability, this Z3 will not disappoint.
