Description First generation; completely original 1895cc Z3; five-speed manual; only 34,290 miles from new; 4 owners; MOTd until February 2026 with no advisories Based on the E36 saloon platform, the BMW Z3 was produced from 1995 to 2002 and offered a choice of four and six-cylinder engines ranging from 1.8 to 3.0 litres.
Styled by Joji Nagashima, it combined retro looks with proven engineering, using the semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the earlier E30 3 Series.
It also marked a significant milestone as the first BMW to be manufactured exclusively outside Germany, at the company’s plant in Greer, South Carolina.
This example is the 1.9-litre model, powered by a 138bhp straight-four that was capable of propelling the Z3 to 62mph in around 9.5 seconds and on to a top speed just shy of 130mph.
It has had four owners from new and shows 34,290 miles, supported by the DVLA MOT history.
The service book contains thirteen stamps, the most recent completed at 33,390 miles in January...
