2001 2000 BMW Z3 2.0-Litre Roadster

Highlights

• Three former registered keepers
• Stamped service manual and service history from new, with most servicing by BMW specialists
• Comprehensive history folder with invoices and MOT certificates dating back to 2008
• Garage-stored and covered through winter during the first three years of current ownership
• The vendor's garage describes the underside as free from corrosion

The Appeal

The Z3 roadster remains one of the more unusual, interesting cars to rumble off of the House of Bavaria's production lines. A characterful, retro-minimalist car that felt charismatic and stylish to the core. Now a quarter of a century old, they've settled into a fine prestige - a modern classic if ever there was one.
While the straight-four car is perhaps a little too leisurely for the dedicated sports driver, the straight-six is torquey and capable, and naturally much more desirable.

This 2000 Roadster has been in the current keeper's hands for several years and benefits from a documented history from new, the majority of servicing having been carried out by BMW specialists. Recent mechanical work has included new front struts, shock absorbers, and a reconditioned ABS block. With a current MOT through to May 2027 and a thorough history folder in hand, this well-documented car is ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
