For Sale: 2000 BMW Z3 in Lithia Springs, Georgia

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!
