2002 BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster
39,000 miles from new

Sold for £9,750

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: GJ02 EZH
Chassis No: WBACN52080LJ41323
MOT: January 2026

PLEASE NOTE: Since cataloguing, we have been made aware that the car had a speedometer change when c.2 years old, when it had covered 11,000 miles. Therefore, the total mileage is some 39,000 miles from new.

  • Desirable 3.0-litre wide-bodied variant with manual transmission
  • Warranted 39,000 miles from new
  • Finished in one of the rarest colours, Dakar Yellow (Code 337)
  • Offered with stamped service book and scarcely seen hardtop

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 2.8 litre straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards, and the 3.0 litre (the largest engine other than the M-specification cars) joined the production run in 2000 until 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 rarest variants of Z3 manufactured.

Registered new on the 25th April 2002, ‘GJ02 EZH’ was finished from the factory in one of the rarest and most desirable colours, Dakar Yellow (Code 337). Complemented internally by matching Yellow and Black leather upholstery with Black carpets, the Z3 also features a Black hood. Well specified from the factory with leather Sport heated seats, M-Sport steering wheel, 18-inch 'M' alloy wheels, M-Sport gearknob, air conditioning, electric soft top, wind deflector, electric mirrors, white indicator lenses, headlamp cleaning, rollover protection, and rare body coloured hard top which pleasingly is still present with the car. A 3.0i straight-six example with the largest (non-M) Z3 engine, the BMW also benefits from having the more desirable five-speed manual gearbox.

Offered now having covered just 39,000 miles from new, the Z3 is barely run-in! Accompanied to sale by the owner’s handbook and service book in the BMW wallet, the service book displays ten stamps with almost all of these from main dealers or specialists. Further supplied with the original tool kit, warning triangle, and jack, a no advisory MOT until January next year is present as well as the current V5C document. Today, this example must be one of the finest on the road, with both the exterior and interior present excellently and the car drove particularly well when test driven upon consignment with no warning lights present. If you are looking for a genuine, collector quality Z3 with low mileage and a very rare colour scheme, then look no further than this particular example.
