Seller Description

Up for sale is a 2001 Z3 Coupe. 1 of 58 made in this configuration, with the M54 engine and M Sport Seats. Designed and built in Spartanburg, SC. Only 116k on the odometer.

It has the proper Manual Transmission which is very smooth. All of the normal BMW repairs have been done - water pump, radiator, DISA valve, Breather system (CCV), Intake hoses , VANOS rebuilt, Fluids so on.

The previous owner put a high dollar stereo in it. It has two Alpine amps and a sub. It's all in the rear hatch area. Suspension - has JC Klein Coil Overs and Shocks which are fully adjustable. 75% Conti DWS06 tires. PowerFlex poly bushings front and rear. Front and Rear camber kit.

The biggest issue with the car is it is running rich. I don't have the tools or resources to investigate and repair it currently. so I've dropped the price to reflect the cost of repairs and then some. Will consider reasonable offers.

Car is located in Greenville, SC

Accident History:
- Previous owner dented rear tailgate and bumper, low speed in driveway with his jeep. No mechanical damage
- I rolled low speed at a stop sign into the car in front of me denting passenger side headlamp, hood, and front bumper. No mechanical damage
- I pulled out into traffic and tapped the car in front of me at 5-10mph. No damage to the Z3 .
- While parked on the street, a sedan delivering Uber Eats grazed the driver side door leaving 2-3 shallow dents. No mechanical damage.

Extras/Spare Parts:
- Complete set of new in box rotors and brakes for front and rear

I’ve taken good mechanical care of this car, but have to let it go as I look to start another business this year and purchase my first home. I’m looking for someone to pass the torch to who can give it some TLC, keep it in good condition, and enjoy it.

I appear to be the 3rd owner, and I ought it with 55,000 miles. It currently sits at 116,000.
Happy to answer any and all questions , and bring it by for a test drive.

You will not have any problems finding parts for this car, as everything in the drivetrain and from the dash, forward is shared with the Z3 Roadster.
