Lot 92
 

2001 BMW Z3
*** NO RESERVE ***

Registration – Y874 CGC

Chassis No. – WBACN52060LJ40476

M.O.T. – May 2026

Odometer – 87,000

Few modern roadsters capture the spirit of open top motoring quite as effectively as BMW’s Z3. Introduced during the late 1990s, the model combined classic long bonnet sports car styling with BMW’s renowned engineering and driver focused dynamics. By the time the desirable 3.0 litre variant arrived, the car had evolved into a particularly rewarding driver’s machine, offering strong performance together with the unmistakable character of BMW’s naturally aspirated straight six engine.

This 2001 example is presented in an attractive shade of metallic blue with a contrasting blue and black leather interior, a colour combination that suits the model’s sporting lines particularly well. The odometer currently records approximately 87,000 miles and the car is fitted with the sought after 3.0 litre engine, widely regarded as one of the most desirable powerplants offered in the Z3 range thanks to its smooth power delivery and engaging performance.

The vendor informs us that the car has remained in current ownership for some 18 years and that there has been just one previous keeper prior to this. Such long term ownership often reflects careful use and enthusiastic custodianship. The car is supplied with an M.O.T. valid until May 2026.

With its classic rear wheel drive balance, strong straight six engine and increasingly recognised status as a modern classic BMW sports car, the Z3 continues to attract growing interest among enthusiasts looking for an engaging and usable open top driving experience.

In summary

Desirable 3.0 litre straight six example
Just one previous keeper and current ownership for approximately 18 years
87,000 miles recorded and offered without reserve
