Seller Description

2001 Z3 Coupe 3.0L M54 engine, 5 speed, Atlanta Blue/Sand Beige. Only 1 of 11 with that combination. My daily driver from 2004 until retirement in 2016. Since then I don't use it enough. Very collectible car with a stage 2 Bilstein suspension installed in spring of 2019. See parts list attached. Summer 2024 replaced water pump, radiator, belts and hoses. Recently replaced MAS and intake manifold. This car is in great shape with the exception of the paint. ~ 18 months ago the clear coat just decided to give up. Drive as is or repaint for a head turner or possibly do a wrap. Car shown with winter tires installed. Included (at asking price) are the four split fork wheels/tires pictured. Two front summer tires have 4/16 tread. The rear tires need replacement. Just passed NY safety and emissions inspection. Clear title in my name. Will entertain offers but no low balls. If post is up, it's for sale. Will not respond to is this available. PM me if interested. I can send more pics. Local pick up only.

Previous Listing:
After much deliberation (like 2 years) I've decided to put my 2001 Z3 Coupe up for sale. I just don't drive it enough and have other projects I want to persue. I bought this car as second owner in 2006 and for 14 years it was my daily commuter. I'm posting only on Z groups at this time as I really want it to go to the home of an enthusiast.

3.0L M54 engine with 5 speed manual transmission. 174,xxx miles (will increase some). Atlanta Blue metallic paint. Beige interior is clean and has custom seat covers. No fluid or oil leaks. No rust. In spring of 2019 I performed a full suspension upgrade with a stage 2 kit from Pelican Parts and it handles like a dream. Tracks straight and no drivability issues. Parts list attached. Only rear arm bushings were not installed as they were not needed. Summer 2021, I replaced water pump, radiator, fan, belts and hoses. Car is shown wearing its winter tires. The original split fork wheels are included along with all the additional parts and manual shown. I have clear NY title in my name.

The not so good; the paint has, in the last year or so, started to peel its clear coat and really would love a new spray or perhaps a wrap. Hence the low asking price. The glove box has the standard sag, the fuel and temp gauges occasionally go wonky, and the dash trim has the standard cracks. These are all pretty typical faults for this car/age and very fixable. Asking $14,500. Car is located in Washingtonville NY. Terms of sale: as is, local pick up, bank check only. Private message me if interested. Oh and please don't ask for maintence receipts. I do all my own work and my log book was destroyed in a paint thinner spill on my work bench.

It's back after a year with a big price reduction to $8,500 from $14,500. The paint is pretty rough, but the maintenance and color combo make it pretty compelling. I wish it was closer.

I'm not sure I've ever had two atlanta blue coupes on the market at the same time. I love the color combo and this one has had a long-time owner. It's had some good maintenance but the paint is in pretty rough shape. The price is probably ok because of the color combo and miantenance.
