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.
Wearing an Impala Metallic Brown coat of paint, this 2000 BMW Z3 rocks a black convertible soft top and a stock set of BMW alloys in silver. The car is surprisingly small in the context of modern automobiles, even those from its maker. It’s only 158.5 inches long and 66.6 inches wide, after all. Its height is an even more sporty 51.4 inches! That makes the Z3 the perfect urban runabout, but this car can also offer a fine highway cruising experience. The black leather interior of this 2000 BMW Z3 is equipped with partial power adjustment for the seats, air conditioning and power windows. It also has the BMW Business radio with cassette tape player, another lovely period feature that often tends to get replaced with more modern head units. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the soft top is power operated so there’s no need to manually wrangle with it.
This 2000 BMW Z3 is a 2.3 variant as per the badging on the boot. But don’t think that there’s a 2.3 liter engine under the hood. No, you have a 2.5 liter straight six at your disposal. BMW’s straight sixes are superbly refined units so you’ll really enjoy the experience. This engine is reportedly rated at 170hp and 181lb-ft of torque. It drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission.

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.
Now here’s a truly rare vintage car that is likely the sort you’d be able to buy just once in a lifetime. This 1939 BMW 328 Roadster is a fine example of the German automaker’s long and illustrious history of excellence. It offers you a comprehensive look at what BMW was way back then. In fact, in 1999, the 328 was named one of 25 finalists for the Car Of The Century award by a worldwide panel of auto journalists. Its achingly beautiful shape, potent straight six and the overall pristine condition of this example all make this a highly coveted collector’s piece. That is reflected in its price too. If you want to make this rolling piece of history your own, it’s currently up for grabs in Florissant, Missouri.
Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.

We’re going to let you in on a little secret. Nearly everyone on the ECT team lusts, or has lusted after a Porsche 911 at some point in their life. It’s the definitive petrolhead car and icon of German sporting excellence. Introduced in 1964, the 911 brought a sleek teardrop-styled aerodynamic shape to the table, and plonked a flat-six air-cooled engine in its tail. Then, it gave other features that prevail to this day, such as a five-dial instrument pack on the dashboard. A big change came in mid 1998, when the 996 era was introduced. This is when air cooling was exchanged for water cooling, due to increasing power demands and tightening emissions regulations. That makes cars like this 1998 Porsche 911 Cabriolet from the 993 era one of the last of the air-cooled brigade. They may be the last of an era, but they are far from dinosaurs. This Myrtle Beach-based machine has done just 32,000 miles and comes with a nice 6-speed manual transmission to enjoy. Snap it up before someone else does!
The most popular modern open-topped Porsche for those who want to check out the brand’s sporting credentials, the Boxster was conceived in the early 2000s. Porsche had entry-level models from time to time, designed to attract younger buyers who couldn’t afford a 911 just yet. This strategy of getting them into the family was genius; it afforded such people a taste of the Porsche experience, basically ensuring that they’d graduate into a 911, or in later years, a Panamera, Macan, Cayenne, etc when they were ready for an upgrade. Today’s 2012 Porsche Boxster is a fine example for anyone who wants an older Boxster. It’s a lovely second-generation example from San Antonio, with just 37,250 miles on the clock. Plus, it has a sports exhaust, sport bucket seats, 19-inch wheels and more. Two keys are included with the sale of this car.
