Styled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995. Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster's running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish two-seater found fame as James Bond's transport in the 1995 film Goldeneye. The 3.0 Z3 was the largest engine fitted to the Z3s other than the M-specification cars, with the production run only spanning the period of 2000 to 2002. Offered with both manual and automatic five-speed ZF transmissions, only 18,378 examples are thought to have been produced in both Coupe and Roadster specifications making the 3.0i one of the rarer variants of Z3 manufactured.
First registered in March of 2001, this Z3 is finished in Black with a complementing Black interior and a Black powered soft-top roof. Displaying c.98,000 miles, it presents as a very handsome and well-maintained 3.0 Litre version of the Z3 and has had just 5 former keepers. Benefitting from new tyres all round and a new hood, interior comfort includes air conditioning and heated seats for those cool summer evening excursions on country roads. The fabulous specification includes headlamp washers and a wind deflector to cut down the buffeting. The Z3 arrives at the sale with a clear HPI report and ready for a new owner to enjoy. Offered with an MOT into February of 2024, original books, including the service book, containing main dealer and independent service records accompanied by a large and comprehensive service file.
