This 2001 BMW Z3 3.0 Coupe is a 9700-mile example finished in Titanium Silver over Black Nappa leather. Powered by a 3.0L inline-six backed by a five-speed manual transmission, this Z3 coupe was kept in Ohio by its original owner before being acquired by the seller in 2015. The car remains unmodified from stock and has fresh Continental rubber on its optional Style 32 alloy wheels. The clean Carfax report indicates regular fluid changes and no accidents. The car has just been fully serviced in preparation for sale with all new fluids.
Non-M Z3 coupes were produced in lower numbers than Z3 roadsters, and this example has reportedly been garaged its entire life. Paint is said to be all original, and the finish exhibits an even gloss over smooth body panels with matching VIN tags in place.
Chrome shines brightly on the BMW trademark kidney grilles, trunk handle, and twin exhaust outlets. Black plastic remains dark and weatherstripping looks to be in very good shape, while glass and lenses are clear throughout.
Optional Style 32 staggered-width 17″ wheels are wrapped in year-old Continental ExtremeContact tires. A four-wheel alignment was performed in 2015 when the new tires were mounted according to the Carfax.
The black Nappa leather and wood interior is in very nice condition commensurate with the low miles. Minimal wear appear limited to a small mark on the heated driver’s sport seat, some slight wrinkling, and a hint of bolster wear. The dash and door panels are free of cracks or distortion, while carpets remain protected by factory Z3-branded floor mats.
The M-Sport steering wheel, shift knob, and switchgear show little wear. Clear instrumentation includes a digital odometer showing 9,745 miles. Factory Business CD stereo and Harman Kardon sound system have been retained.
The M54 straight-six is housed in a tidy engine bay and appears unmodified. The 3.0L DOHC engine was rated at 228 horsepower and 221 lb. ft. of torque when new, and power was routed through a five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. BMW claimed a 0-60mph time in the neighborhood of six seconds and a top speed of over 150mph. This car has received annual oil changes regardless of miles and a recent service included: rear differential flush, manual transmission flush, new oil and filter, new fuel filter, brake fluid flush, power steering flush and coolant flush.
