THIS... is a 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe, finished in Hellrot with a Walnut interior.

• This Z3 features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and the odometer currently displays approximately 84,400 miles.
• The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this BMW's past.

• Notable modifications reported by the seller include Bilstein shocks and struts, H&R springs, and a Supersprint exhaust system.
• Released for 1996, the Z3 was welcomed as a rear-wheel-drive roadster with two seats and a relatively affordable price tag; it was a true driver's car. BMW kept development costs in check by sourcing some components from the E30 and E36 3 Series parts bins, and it built the Z3 in South Carolina. The Z3 was available with numerous engine options, from a 1.9-liter inline-4 engine all the way up to the venerable S54 inline-6 found in the 2001 and 2002 M Coupe and Roadster.
• Power comes from an M54 3.0-liter inline-6, rated at 225 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.

Previous Listing:
You are looking at the only Z3 Coupe produced in NA in this configuration. From 1998 to 2002, only 2,071 Non-M Coupes were produced. Out of 2,071, only 50 were produced in Hellrot-2 exterior color and only 1 with Extended Walnut with 5 speed manual transmission. The Hellrot-2/Extended Walnut combination is absolutely stunning and it really stands out among all the Z3's and Z3M coupes out there. Also, the 2001-2002 Z3’s are much more desirable as they came with 228 HP M54B30 engine which is only down by 12 HP when compared to the S52B32 in the Z3M Coupe. It also has a 40 lb-ft of higher Torque output at a lower RPM compared to the S52. This makes it much more desirable compared to the 1998-2000 Non-M Coupes with M52B28 engine. I’ve had the pleasure of owning this rare Z3 for 4.5 years and have only logged 2,400 miles under my ownership. Clean Carfax history. All body panels have matching VIN tags. Car comes with some tasteful performance upgrades. It is equipped with Suspersprint exhaust which sounds incredible compared to the factory exhaust with no drone. It is also lowered on H&R springs with Bilstein shocks/struts giving it nice lowered stance. Interior wise, everything is stock except for the Bluetooth radio. Unfortunately don't have the factory radio. All these upgrades were done prior to my ownership. Under my ownership, I have done transmission fluid flush, heater value change, coolant flush, sunroof and rear wiper motor. The door sills were upgraded with Z3M coupe door sills and brand new Z3M coupe mats which are NLA were installed. Also the rear hatch handle gasket was replaced, and the deteriorated 3.0 emblem was removed but have a brand-new emblem which will come with the car if the new owner decides to install it. The factory 2-piece Style 42 were completely stripped and powdered coated to factory color/finish and new Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 tires were installed. Also the headlights were professionally restored. There are few minor cosmetic issues which includes crack in the dash in the front and the headliner has started to sag a bit in the rear. Other than that, the car doesn’t need anything at the moment. The car turns heads everywhere it goes. No winters under my ownership. Always garaged and on tender when not in use. Underneath is extremely clean. It was an absolute pleasure owning this car and I know it is going to be impossible to find another Z3 in a super rare spec like this one but unfortunately, I have to part with it. Will upload more pictures weather permitting. Please reach out with any questions or if any additional info is required. Thanks for looking.
