European cars have always provided a driving experience that is unparalleled by most of their Japanese and American counterparts. They have always been well suited to the twists and turns, effortlessly tearing up hairpins and snaky twists. This 2000 BMW Z3 Coupe, which has just 89,450 miles on the clock, provides everything. Rear wheel drive, a brilliant chassis, and that sweet straight-six soundtrack upfront, it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Exterior and Interior
Have a seat in an interior that looks and feels as fresh as it did a quarter of a century ago. The red leather seats hold you in place tightly, ensuring comfort and support no matter how twisty the road ahead gets. It is clear that this interior has lived a pampered life, as minimal signs of wear are visible. There are barely any creases in the seats or cracks in the silver trim. Get behind the wheel and you will feel the car come alive. The stunning Tital paint has held up remarkably well for nearly 25 years and beautifully showcases the car’s stunning lines and curves. This is all complemented by the black-colored convertible top and some 16-inch Style 45 wheels which will make for a comfortable ride.
Engine
BMW are renowned for their amazing straight 6 engines, and the one in this car is no exception. Under that clamshell hood is BMW’s iconic M54B30 3 liter straight-six, a silky smooth powerplant with acres of torque and good for a factory-rated 230 hp. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, a blast down some twisty back roads will bring out the best in this car. That sweet engine soundtrack will have you feeling like a driving god. All maintenance is up to date with the new owner reporting a new radiator, new starter motor, and a fresh service.
