The BMW Z3 was a small sports roadster introduced by the Bavarian automaker in 1995. Produced until 2002, the Z3 would get an unlikely boost in image, thanks to its screen time in the 1995 James Bond film Goldeneye. Its compact dimensions and perky rear-wheel drive layout make it a hoot to drive – if you’ve specified the right engine, that is. Thankfully, this particular 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster comes with the right engine under the hood and just 52,000 miles on the odometer. So, it’s a great weekend toy for you to own.
Exterior and Interior
This 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster’s looks are bolstered by its Dinan parts and badge, making it a bit more distinctive than a regular Z3. The car’s aftermarket alloy wheels also add to its looks, as does its straight black paint job. Out back, you’ve got four exhaust tips since this is an M variant, while the car’s convertible top comes in matching black as well. The interior of this 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster is a two-seat affair, as you’d expect from a car of this ilk. You’ve got air conditioning, heated seats, and the usual powered amenities. Meanwhile, the original BMW radio has been swapped out for something far more versatile by JVC. This aftermarket head unit can also play CDs and accept USB flash drives with music on them. Thanks to its Bluetooth capabilities, you can also connect your phone for hands-free calling and music streaming. The car’s Harman/Kardon speaker system appears to remain in stock. As a driver, you’ll also appreciate the car’s analog gauge cluster, which offers a tantalizing 8,000rpm-redlined tachometer.
Engine
Since this car is an M version, you’ll find the 3.2L naturally aspirated in-line six from an M3 under the hood of this 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a slick manual gearbox. Zero to sixty is reportedly easily done in under 6 seconds, while the top speed is an electronically capped 155mph. Thanks to the car’s small size and relatively low weight, it’s also a great handler, while the ventilated disc brakes on all four corners are more than capable of shedding any excess speed in a fuss-free fashion.
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 E39-generation BMW M5 is widely regarded as one of the greatest sport sedans ever built, striking an extraordinary balance between everyday comfort and genuine high-performance capability. Introduced as the flagship of the 5 Series lineup, it paired understated styling with a naturally aspirated V8 and a proper 6-speed manual transmission, creating a formula that enthusiasts continue to praise more than two decades later. Showing 99,352 miles, this 2002 example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Extended Nappa Point Silverstone leather and is equipped with desirable factory options including Park Distance Control, a power rear sunshade, split-folding rear seats, and the Enhanced Premium Sound System. As one of the last hand-assembled M cars to feature a naturally aspirated V8 and manual gearbox, the E39 M5 remains a benchmark for performance sedans.

This 2015 BMW i8 Coupe was one of the most futuristic production cars of its era, blending exotic supercar styling with groundbreaking hybrid technology and lightweight carbon fiber engineering. Showing just 6,195 miles, this example remains exceptionally preserved and showcases the bold innovation BMW introduced with its revolutionary i performance lineup. Finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with BMW i Frozen Blue accents over a Giga Amido full perforated leather interior, the i8 still looks strikingly modern even a decade after its debut. Combining dramatic scissor doors, a carbon fiber passenger cell, and a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, the i8 delivered a vision of what performance cars could become while maintaining everyday usability and impressive efficiency.
