Model history
The BMW Z3 was introduced in 1995 as a two-seater roadster and was the first BMW model to be produced in the USA. Three years later, BMW added a coupé version to the series, which still enjoys cult status today thanks to its striking design. In 1999, the Z3 underwent a model update with revised details and an expanded engine range. These ranged from compact four-cylinder engines to powerful six-cylinder variants, including the M Roadster and M Coupé with up to 325 hp. By mid-2002, a total of almost 180,000 roadsters and around 18,000 coupés had rolled off the production line. The Z3 is based on the 3 Series Compact (E36) and combines sporty driving dynamics with classic roadster feeling.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Von April 1999 an verkaufte BMW eine überarbeitete Version der Z3-Reihe. Das Heck erhielt eine neue Form mit hochgezogenen Kotflügeln, L-förmigen Rückleuchten und einer geschwungenen Heckklappe. Die verglasten Rundscheinwerfer der Front wurden mit Chromringen eingefasst. Im Innenraum wurden die Instrumente der Mittelkonsole verändert und das Verdeck erhielt ein zusätzliches Innenverdeck. Seit diesem Baujahr gibt es keine versionsbedingten optischen Unterschiede. Der M Roadster erhielt ebenfalls Chromringe an den Scheinwerfern, blieb ansonsten aber unverändert. Mit der neuen Motorengeneration ab April 1999 bot BMW erstmals den Z3 Roadster 2.0 an. Im Laufe der Zeit veränderte BMW die Modellpalette. So ersetzte im Juni 2000 der Z3 Roadster 3.0i den Z3 Roadster 2.8 und im Oktober des gleichen Jahres der Z3 Roadster 2.2 das Modell mit dem 2-Liter-Motor. Für den nordamerikanischen Markt wurde ein Z3 Roadster 2.3 mit 125 kW (170 PS) angeboten. Dieser Motor war ebenfalls in der 3er (E36) Reihe im 323i verbaut und hatte 2,5 l (2494 cm³) Hubraum. Schließlich wurden der M Roadster und das M Coupé im Juni 2001 mit dem S54-Motor des BMW M3 (E46) ausgerüstet. Dieser leistet im Z3 statt der sonst üblichen 252 kW (343 PS) allerdings nur 239 kW (325 PS), da ab Werk keine ausreichend lange Auspuffanlage installiert werden konnte, um die Leistung des M3-Pendant zu erreichen. Im Juli 2002 wurde die Produktion der Z3-Reihe eingestellt. Nachfolger wurde ab Herbst 2002 der Z4. 1999 wurde ein Z3 mit einem BMW-V12-Motor in Verbindung mit einem Sechsganggetriebe aus dem 850 Ci ausgerüstet. Nachdem im dritten Gang noch die Räder durchdrehten, galt das Fahrzeug als unfahrbar und wurde nicht in Serie oder Kleinserie hergestellt. LG Tom
