2000 BMW Z3 2. 0 Straight-Six – Project / Restoration Opportunity
A great opportunity to acquire a ** BMW Z3 2. 0 straight-six** with plenty of potential. Whether your plan is to restore it to its original form, create a capable weekend toy, or build something a little more adventurous such as a drift project, this Z3 provides an excellent starting point.
Finished in ** grey**, the car is powered by BMW's excellent ** 2. 0-litre straight-six**, the well-regarded engine also found in the E36 generation of BMWs. It has a fantastic character and sound, and despite the car having been sitting for around a year, the engine has been run during that time and has always performed without issue.
The car is being sold honestly as a ** project**, and there are a number of jobs that will need addressing:
- ** Brake lines have burst and will need replacing.**
- ** The driver's seat electrics are not working.**
- The ** soft top leaks**, so a hardtop would be highly recommended to make the car more usable and weatherproof.
- There is some ** paint damage/ cosmetic deterioration**, although nothing that detracts from the overall appeal of the car as a project.
The interior features ** M-series badges on the steering wheel and gear shifter**, adding a nice period BMW touch.
This is not being presented as a ready-to-drive example — it is an opportunity for someone who wants a ** genuine project and a rewarding car to work on**. The Z3's compact rear-wheel-drive layout, straight-six engine and classic BMW styling make it a particularly interesting base for a restoration or custom build.
With some time and investment, this could be transformed into a very enjoyable road car, an original-style restoration, or something considerably more playful.
** Sold as a project and with the faults described above. Please view the car with this in mind.**

The thing that drew me to this car was the iconic body shape and design with the spitfire like vents on the side of the bonnet. I also love the E36 2L straight six and the fact the car is rear wheel drive.
