Styled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995. Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster's running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1. 8 or 1. 9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish two-seater found fame as James Bond's transport in the 1995 film Goldeneye. From 2000-2002 BMW offered the 2. 2i M54B22 engine, an in-line six offereing 168hp and 155 lb ft at 3500rpm.
Offered in the striking Dakar Yellow, a colour often seen on 'M Division' cars, this BMW Z3 2. 2 Sport with a manual transmission, has Black leather sports seats and interior trim. The vendor describes this example as "one of the sharpest cars I’ve seen in a long time". The vendor also advises that there are "nearly £5000 worth of factory extras." Options and features of the car's specification on the car include, the power hood, air conditioning, heated seats, heated door mirrors, cruise control, a Harmon Kardon Music upgrade, 'Classic' leather and 17” Style 42 BBS 2 piece split rims. Recently serviced and MOT'd, the car displays just c. 99, 000 miles and benefits from a recent new hood, fitted at a cost of some £1000 and there are matching Pirelli tyres all round. The vendor describes this 2. 2i as having "been cosseted and looks like it drove out of the showroom last week". Offered at auction with the original handbooks, service books, history file, MOT into March 2024 and 4 keys
