2001 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 for the European market with the S54 engine, making them incredibly rare & collectable today.

Offered here is an original UK right hand drive BMW Z3M Roadster (S54), delivered new by BMW Dunedin, Edinburgh in 2001. One of the 73 right-hand drive S54's, this car is finished in Phoenix Yellow with a black & yellow leather interior and comes with a host of optional extras including a Harman Kardon Hi-fi & CD changer, cruise control, air conditioning and white indicator lenses to name but a few.
