The BMW Z3 is one of the prolific Bavarian automaker’s smallest models in contemporary years. Made between 1995 and 2002, it even got an outing as a Bond car. Yes, the famous British superspy drove a BMW Z3 in 1995’s “Goldeneye”. However, while the Z3 wasn’t highly lauded at the time, it has gained a following over the years. Its classic front-engine rear-wheel-drive sports car formula, open-topped design and relatively light weight when compared to more modern BMWs makes it ideal for a B-road blast. That’s why this particular 1998 BMW Z3 is interesting, as it’s got a zesty straight six engine and a manual gearbox too. Moreover, it packs under 25,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told that all servicing is up to date, and that the car is all original, save for its radio.
This 1998 BMW Z3 is a black on black affair. Its shiny black paintwork is ably complemented by the black power-operated convertible top that protects the driver and passenger from the elements. Of course, as you’ll note from our photos, the car was clearly designed to be driven top-down. Then, you can really see the compact dimensions of the Z3, which measure in at just 158.5 inches long, 66.6 inches wide, and under 52 inches tall. It’s probably one of the last properly compact roadsters you can find with modern creature comforts, but less than thirty years old. The tan interior of this 1998 BMW Z3 is classic Nineties BMW. You’ve got features such as air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors and heated seats. The OEM radio has been replaced by an Alpine aftermarket unit. There’s also a smattering of wood trim around the dashboard and center console. As for cargo, there’s a small trunk in the rear of the car that can accommodate a few soft travelling bags with some smart packing.
This 1998 BMW Z3 features a 2.8L naturally aspirated in-line six. The engine’s factory power figures were quoted as 189hp and 203lb-ft. A pleasing five-speed manual gearbox channels power to the rear wheels, making this car an absolute treat for keen drivers.

Made between 1995 and 2002, the BMW Z3 was a two-door, two-seat compact sports car that was intended to open up BMW’s appeal to a broader, younger audience. It offered many of BMW’s driving and luxury attributes in a compact and more urban-friendly package. Plus, the Z3 was BMW’s first model to be solely manufactured outside Germany, with all examples coming to life at the company’s plant in Greer, South Carolina. The Z3 even had an outing as a Bond car, featuring in 1995’s Goldeneye where Pierce Brosnan briefly drives it. Now, the Z3 is attaining modern classic status and we have one up for grabs. It’s a 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 from Sebastian, Florida, with over 61,000 miles on the clock. It’s also a reportedly all-stock car.
BMW’s compact sports car offering of the Nineties, the Z3 was made between 1996 and 2002. It slotted in as an entry-level offering, and was based on the E36 Compact’s platform. With over 297,000 units sold during its production run, the Z3 was definitely a hit. It made the BMW brand more attainable to a younger crowd who wanted something hip, funky and easy to drive. This 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster, for example, is one of 22,282 of its kind, and currently resides in Bristol, Tennessee. With just over 34,000 miles, a smooth straight six under the hood and an automatic gearbox, it's an ideal first car for anyone. The original owner’s manual is available too!
Launched in the late 1990s, the BMW Z3 M Roadster took the compact proportions of the Z3 and infused them with the heart and chassis tuning of BMW’s M division. This 1998 example is finished in Imola Red II over a black interior with a black convertible soft top, presenting as both a driver’s car and a collectible modern classic. With just 30,900 miles reported, it is powered by a 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six paired to a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, analog driving experience enthusiasts prize.
The BMW M4 is the hot variant of BMW’s compact-class 4-Series. The 4-Series was introduced as a sportier 3-Series alternative, and in some markets, completely replaced it. Unlike the M3 though, the M4 has always been offered in two-door form, in metal-roofed coupe form, or as a drop-top convertible. Today’s 2024 BMW M4 Competition is from the second generation of the M4 and comes with a nice black canvas top that’s power operated. It’s also got a matte black vinyl wrap, the Driver Assistance Pro Package, Parking Assistance Package, Executive Package and M Compound brakes with red calipers. All that, plus a scant 14,800-mile odometer reading awaits your consideration in Atlanta, Georgia.
BMW’s XM is a full-size crossover with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, designed mainly for the US market. As such, it’s made in BMW’s Greer plant in South Carolina, and comes with a 4.4-liter V8 under the hood. If you’d like to get your hands on an XM right now, we have this 14,000-mile 2024 BMW XM for sale today. Coming to you from Austin, this vehicle comes with the M Driver’s Package, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound upgrade, a stunning Sakhir Orange and Black two-tone interior, and even the charger is included with the sale. Isn’t that quite an attractive automotive package to treat yourself to?
This build goes far beyond cosmetic modification. The F31 Touring chassis was never offered in the United States as an F80 M3 wagon, making this “F81 M3 Touring Tribute” a conceptual recreation of what BMW enthusiasts have long wanted: an M3-powered long-roof. Starting life as a 328i xDrive, the car has been transformed mechanically and visually to reflect M3 Competition character, combining practicality with serious performance intent. With over 61,000 miles, it reflects a properly used and developed enthusiast project rather than a static showpiece.
Look what we’ve got here! The last of the pop-up headlamp ‘Vettes, the fifth generation or C5 variant. This 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has got just over 71,000 miles and comes with a 5.7-liter LS1 under the hood. It’s a car that adorned the walls of many bedrooms in poster form, if you grew up in the Nineties and Two Thousands. Now, many of those admiring children and teens will be at the right age to realize their dreams and own one. This particular example comes from Alabama and is of the convertible variant. It even comes with an aftermarket back-up camera.

Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
