This fine example has just 89,000 miles reported on the clock and is one neat way to wind down the weekend and prepare you for what's ahead.
Exterior and Interior
The Z3 design was showcased at the 1997 Frankfurt motor show, and while it was a popular car and looked futuristic for its time, it could have sat better with petrolheads and automotive folk. A quick look at the current marketplace and you instantly know that the 2000s Z3 design is finally getting its share of the spotlight and is commonplace amongst collections worldwide. This 2000 BMW Z3 M sports a black exterior that provides a stealthy vibe; the soft top convertible provides driving perfection when down and allows you to better experience that BMW M-tuned powertrain at work as you shift through the gears. Exterior design aside, the moment you get comfy in this 2000 BMW Z3 M and its black interior, you instantly know why this is slowly becoming a petrolhead's dream purchase. In a world where everything is digital and touch, the analog feels present in this generation of the Z3 throws it back to the good old days of motoring.
Engine
BMW and its 6-cylinder powertrains are the stuff of legends. Be it a twisty B road or hitting an apex at full force, the high revving, well-engineered M-tuned 6-cylinder powertrain provides mechanical symphony through its engine tone and power. This 2000 BMW Z3 M is powered by a 3.2L inline-six powertrain and is old-school BMW power, no turbos, or artificially-created exhaust audio notes to make you feel good, but raw power and an unparalleled drive feel to make you want to drive more. The current owner reports a Dinan intake and a Dinan throttle box in place for better performance and a more aggressive yet natural song. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, ensuring smiles on every gear change.
Few vehicles embody the spirit of late-1990s BMW performance quite like the Z3 M Roadster. Developed by BMW M to bring genuine sports car dynamics to the compact Z3 platform, the M Roadster combined classic rear-wheel-drive handling with the legendary S52 inline-six engine and a standard manual transmission. This 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster shows approximately 35,878 miles and stands out thanks to its desirable Dinan performance upgrades, including a high-flow cold air intake, high-flow throttle body, engine software tune, and front strut tower brace. Finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over a Black interior, this low-mileage example offers a compelling blend of open-top driving enjoyment, analog BMW M performance, and period-correct Dinan enhancements from one of BMW’s most respected aftermarket tuning specialists.
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!
The 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is one of the defining grand tourers of BMW’s classic era, combining elegant E9 coupe styling with the smooth power delivery of the company’s 3.0-liter inline-six. Showing approximately 36,319 miles, this example is finished in Polaris Silver Metallic over a Marine Blue interior and pairs its period luxury character with a 4-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience. Highlights include wood interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, and BMW multi-spoke alloy wheels, giving this 3.0 CS a strong balance of refinement, usability, and classic touring appeal.
For years, the BMW Z4 M40i has occupied a sweet spot in the modern roadster world: compact, rear-wheel drive, open-top, and powered by BMW’s turbocharged inline-six. The Handschalter Edition takes that formula and pushes it much closer to the sort of sports car enthusiasts have been asking BMW to build. Instead of relying on an automatic, this 2026 BMW Z4 M40i Handschalter Edition pairs its 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with a 6-speed manual transmission, restoring a level of involvement that has become increasingly rare in modern performance cars. Finished in San Remo Green Metallic over Cognac Vernasca leather, this example also brings together the Handschalter, Premium, Driving Assistance, and Shadowline packages, along with adaptive M suspension, an M Sport differential, red-calipered M Sport brakes, a head-up display, Harman Kardon surround sound, and 19-inch M wheels. It is a specification that blends traditional roadster character with modern BMW performance, making it as appealing for a back-road drive as it is for a top-down weekend cruise.
The 1992 BMW 318i Convertible represents the final years of the legendary E30 generation, a platform celebrated for its balanced chassis, driver-focused engineering, and timeless styling. Powered by BMW’s M42B18 inline-four engine, this example combines the classic open-air E30 experience with a range of performance and cosmetic enhancements. Showing approximately 119,648 miles, this Brilliant Red 318i Convertible features a Natural Leather interior, aftermarket power convertible soft top, Dinan performance chip, Bilstein suspension components, upgraded cooling system, and chassis improvements designed to enhance its driving character. With its combination of BMW’s iconic 1980s/1990s styling, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and enthusiast-focused modifications, this E30 offers a distinctive take on one of BMW’s most recognizable models.
