Vehicle Description
With its combination of classic sports car aesthetics and German
engineering, it's little wonder that this 2000 BMW Z3 M Roadster
represents a model that's still thoroughly coveted to this day. Its
great looks attracted plenty of attention right off the bat when it
was released - the Z3 held the distinction of being one of only a
few non-British cars deemed stylish enough for James Bond to drive
when it graced the silver screen in the movie GoldenEye. Fast
forward to the present and this droptop remains in impressive
condition, having logged an unusually low 37,000 miles while
receiving consistent maintenance over the years.
Decked out in factory Titanium Silver Metallic paint that's still
in good overall shape, this Z3 is just an effortlessly cool looking
ride. It has had the good fortune of steering clear of any notable
collisions - good fortune that's backed up by a clean Autocheck
report - so you won't find any glaring dings or dents to be
concerned about, and its body panels are well aligned from front to
back. Should the weather take a downturn while you're out on the
highway, its accompanying Classic Red cloth convertible top is also
in good shape and powers into place with no complaints. Clear glass
surrounds the cockpit and, upon closer inspection, you'll notice
that even the rubber seals surrounding the windows still appear
surprisingly fresh. A pair of emblems take their positions just in
front of the doors, to proclaim the special M status that this Z3
holds.
Inside, the Imola Red leather interior blends perfectly with the
cloth convertible top and doesn't show anywhere near the amount of
wear you might expect from a car of this vintage. There are no
tears to be found on the bolsters of the front bucket seats, no
cracks or warping on the dash pad and both door panels are free of
any damage. The Z3 took home both Edmunds' "Most Wanted
Convertible" and Car and Driver's "Ten Best" awards the year before
this '00 rolled out, and its inviting and surprisingly comfortable
cockpit -especially considering the Z3's relatively compact size -
likely played a substantial role in those honors. Interior features
include heated power seats, cruise control, and power door locks,
windows, and mirrors. A premium Harmon-Kardon AM/FM/CD stereo
stands by to provide your own personal soundtrack while you're out
on the road. The air conditioning on this Beemer is blowing strong
and will likely need nothing more than a freon charge to get it
back to form.
This roadster weighs in at less than 3,000lbs and is powered by a
fuel-injected 3.2-liter inline 6 that puts out about 240hp, so you
can imagine the spirted acceleration it possesses. It's
accompanying 5-speed manual transmission shifts flawlessly and is
easily navigated via the low-profile shifter on the center console.
With its low center of gravity pairing with a trailing arm
suspension in back, this car offers plenty of agility to go along
with its straight-line speed - it's a blast to drive. Anti-lock
power disc brakes bring its set of 17" factory wheels that are
wrapped with fresh-looking rubber to quick, dependable stops.
Combining timeless visual appeal and exhilarating performance, this
2000 BMW Z3 M Roadster would be a great fit for the sports car
enthusiast with an appreciation for its manufacturer's storied
history. Call today!
