2000 BMW Z3M 'S54' Roadster

Introduced in 1998 and assembled in BMW's US plant in Greer, South Carolina, the Z3M was designed to be a performance version of the Z3, featuring a revised body, that included new front and rear bumpers, wider rear wings and a different boot lid. Along with the styling cues, the 3.2-litre engine was lifted from the E36 BMW M3 (S50) and was capable of producing a reported 317 brake horsepower. In 2001, the Z3M Roadster was fitted with the latest evolution of the M-Sport engine. This unit was taken from the legendary and more powerful E46 M3 (S54). Only 73 right-hand drive cars were produced with the S54 engine, making them incredibly rare & collectable today.

Offered here is an original UK, right hand drive BMW Z3M Roadster. One of the first S54 Engine cars built it was delivered new in 2000 to BMW GB Limited where it remained in BMW's ownership as a show car/demonstrator until being sold in 2002.

This is one of the 73 right-hand drive S54s, one of seven finished in Phoenix Yellow, and looks striking with its Kiwi/Black trimmed leather interior. The car features a host of optional extras including a Harman Kardon audio system, air conditioning, heated seats and many more.

What is particularly special about this car, however, is that it has covered a mere 9,700 miles from new and this is supported by seven past MoT certificates and nine SORN certificates. The car also has BMW Main dealer service records as detailed below:

Having been in the custodianship of our vendor for the past 12 years the car has been much cared for and used only on very rare occasions in the sunshine. The majority of the time however the car has remained under its fitted car cover inside a heated garage and in addition to its cover the car is accompanied by a good history file with its service records, original book pack and driver's manual.

For fans of BMW's legendary M-Sport Division, this rare S54-engined Z3M is not to be missed, and represents an opportunity to enjoy a modern high-performance roadster that's also a highly collectable classic.
