The BMW Z3 is a rear-wheel-drive two-door coupé and roadster produced for the 1996 to 2002 model years as a follow-up to the Z1 available only in Europe. Although it made its official debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 1996, many people got a sneak preview in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, in which 007 briefly drove a blue Z3 in Cuba.

Even more exciting was the new M Roadster, with a 3.2-litre six-cylinder with 321 hp. That's almost 80 hp more than the American version. A stiffer chassis configuration.

The life of this Z3 M Roadster all started at BMW dealer Breeman in Rotterdam. This is where the BMW was bought new at a new-car price of almost €73,000. It was purchased here along with the current hardtop, Sony radio, windshield, linen hood in 'schwarz', and an alarm system. After driving its first 2,000 kilometres, it went back to Breeman for its very first service. For the last 19 years, it has been owned by its 2nd owner. When not driven, it was stored covered & heated. This is reflected in the current clean condition of the car.

This German 2-seater is finished in a neat 'arktis-silber', opposite a full black nappa interior. Only 221 units were produced in this combination. At the bottom are the well-known 5-spoke 'style-40' Z3-M rims.

The Z3 M is in possession of many sought-after options and features such as;
- Air conditioning
- Hardtop
- Seat heating
- Electrically operated soft-top
- Hardtop with rear window heating
- Sports seats
- Sports steering wheel
- Windshield
- 25% limited slip differential
- Certified SCM car alarm fitted by the dealer.

Under the bonnet is the well-known S50 engine block. This consists of a 3.2-litre in-line six-cylinder, which is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. With this, the BMW produces an impressive 321hp along with 350nm of torque. This is a decent figure considering its relatively light weight of 1,425kg (ready to drive). With this engine, it covers 0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds. This comes along with a top speed of 250km/h. Recently, the Z3M has had major maintenance. The V-belt + tensioner were renewed, the oil changed and various gaskets replaced. An invoice for this with a value of € 2471 is in the extensive history folder.

In terms of documentation, several documents are present;
- Original invoices & proof of purchase
- Various inspections
- NAP counter report
- Completed service booklet
- Valuation reports
- And more!

A fine specimen for a unique and beautiful Z3 M Roadster.
