The Appeal

The six-cylinder BMW Z3 is prized for its compact roadster proportions, combined with rear-wheel-drive architecture and a more sporting character than the four-cylinder versions. In manual form, it delivers direct and relatively analogue driving, characteristic of BMW roadsters from this generation.

This 2001 example equipped with the 3.0-litre engine is presented in Sapphire Black metallic with a two-tone black and red leather interior. The seller indicates it came from an enthusiast's collection and arrived at his workshop in running order, before being stored indoors.

According to the information provided, the bodywork, paint, underside and chassis are well preserved, with no visible signs of repair or accident damage. Inside, the red leather shows light age-related wear. The main cosmetic issue noted is slight lifting of the dashboard leather trim.

Mechanically, the seller reports that the engine starts easily both cold and hot, the gearbox shifts smoothly through the ratios, and the brakes and suspension function correctly.
