2001 BMW Z3 3.0i — Steel Gray Metallic exterior | Black leather interior
A classic two-seat roadster with an eager, naturally aspirated inline-six and a clean CARFAX, this 2001 Z3 3.0i combines timeless BMW driving dynamics with a well-kept, low-mileage history. Finished in Steel Gray Metallic over Black leather, the overall presentation is exceptional and the vehicle is in excellent condition.
Powertrain and performance
- 3.0L naturally aspirated inline-6, double overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve: engineered for smooth, linear power delivery and strong mid-range torque that makes the Z3 both effortless in everyday driving and engaging on spirited runs.
- Rear-wheel drive layout and a chassis tuned for balance and feedback produce the classic Z3 driving experience: precise steering, communicative handling and a rewarding connection to the road.
- Sport Package: adds a sport-oriented setup that sharpens handling and driver feel — typically including a firmer suspension bias and sport-oriented interior/exterior cues for a more focused driving character.
Factory features (detailed)
- Chassis and suspension: Tuned sport suspension with a focus on dynamic balance; independent front and rear suspension geometry designed to deliver responsive handling and a composed ride.
- Brakes and safety: Four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and stability/traction management systems as standard equipment to help maintain control in variable conditions.
- Exterior: Sculpted two-seat roadster body with clean lines and a Steel Gray Metallic finish; aerodynamic styling, body-colored mirrors and trim consistent with BMW’s design language for the era.
