2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe

• Supplied new to the Netherlands in left-hand drive
• Finished in Titan Silver with a Black Nappa leather interior
• One owner in its supplying country before being imported to the UK in 2005
• Sold with its book pack, a UK V5 and MOT tested until July 2020
• Having covered only 67,560km (41,979 miles), this smart little BM seems excellent value

The Z3 Coupé shares the same platform and parts with the roadster, but features a chassis-stiffening hatch area and is 2.7 times stiffer in comparison. The Z3 Coupe was only available with 2.8-litre or 3.0-litre engine sizes before eventually, BMW launched the Z3M Coupe which featured a more powerful 3.2-litre unit. The 3.0i model Z3 Coupe was only offered to the European market, making it the biggest engined non-'M' Coupe that one could purchase ensuring that it is highly desirable today.

Offered here is a 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe powered by the 6-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This left-hand drive car was originally sold new in the Netherlands where it had one owner before being imported to the UK in 2005 and registered with the DVLA. Finished in Titan Silver with a black Nappa leather interior, the car features a factory glass roof, air-conditioning and electric seats.

Since being in the UK, the car has received some notable upgrades and modifications:

- April 2014 - Fitted with a VF Engineering supercharger - ú4,980

- May 2014 - Enlarged Brembo 320mm front discs - ú1,965

- November 2015 - Engine strip down and Mahle pistons fitted - ú3,305

The car was then dyno-tested once the works were completed and it is now producing 320bhp - as much as its Z3M counterpart! The speedometer was changed in 2008, and so now the total mileage is 67,560km, which equates to almost 42,000 miles. The car is supplied with its original service book which contains stamps from BMW main dealers over the years, its UK V5c and is MOT tested until 21/07/2020.

This Z3 Coupe is a rare model and although effectively the model below the Z3M, it now boasts a similar output but for a fraction of the price. We urge you to come and view this car in person as it would make a shrewd purchase for any BMW enthusiast.
