The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the United States. It was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'GoldenEye'. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked and it was sold out by the time the car was launched. The Z3 was designed by Joji Nagashima of the BMW design team and developed from the E36 platform of the 3-Series. The resulting platform is often referred to as the E36/7(roadster) or E36/8(coupe). When launched, only the 1.9 litre straight-four engine was offered, but its 138bhp was not up to expectations. A 2.2 litre engine producing 168bhp was made available for the more enthusiastic driver and in 1997 a powerful six cylinder 2.8-litre engine producing 190bhp was an option, or a 3.0-litre straight-six with 228bhp.

This very nice example is presented in probably the best colour combination of dark metallic blue with light tan leather interior and a black hood. The car has always been garaged whilst in our client's ownership and it was last service in August 2023 by Autopics Limited. Presented in 8/9 of 10 condition according to the present vendor, this is a great pocket rocket convertible sports car by the famous German manufacturer added to which it is powered by the smooth and more desirable 2,800cc engine. Great fun! Consigned by James Good
