2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster – 5-Speed Manual – 85K Miles

Beautifully preserved 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster finished in striking Bright Red (Hellrot, Paint Code 314) over a Sand Beige interior with a black power-operated soft top.

Powered by BMW's 3.0-liter M54 inline-six and paired with the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission, this Z3 represents one of the most appealing non-M configurations of BMW's classic roadster.

With just 85,475 original miles, this example has been exceptionally well kept for its age. The exterior presents beautifully, the Sand Beige interior is remarkably clean, and the black soft top is in mint condition.

The car rides on attractive 17-inch BMW Style 32 alloy wheels wrapped in new tires, giving the Z3 the classic staggered BMW roadster appearance.

The CARFAX shows 17 recorded service history entries and documents consistent mileage throughout the vehicle's life. The car spent the majority of its life in Nebraska before relocating to Tennessee.

CARFAX reports one accident from June 2005 involving right-front damage. The vehicle remained functional and the airbags did not deploy.

This is a particularly attractive example for someone looking for a properly preserved Z3 rather than a heavily modified or neglected car. The combination of the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, Bright Red exterior, Style 32 wheels and low original mileage makes it an increasingly difficult Z3 configuration to find in this condition.
