United Kingdom • 11 Jun 2026

Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This rare, Japanese market BMW Z3 Coupe 'Clown Shoe' boasts a supercharged 3.0L engine and just 42,000 km. It features desirable modifications like AC Schnitzer wheels and a digital dash, but has noted cosmetic wear including door scratches and spoiler delamination.

Condition

7

The car is described as being in 'very good condition overall'. While the bodywork and paint are noted as presenting well, there are specific areas mentioned for improvement: stone chips and surface scratches on the passenger door, delamination on the upper rear spoiler, and the rear tires could benefit from replacement. The AC Schnitzer wheels are in generally good condition but could benefit from a refurb. The interior has some lifting and separation of leather trim around the passenger airbag cover. Despite these points, the mechanicals seem sound with no warning lights and all buttons/switches working.

This particular 2001 example takes the formula several steps further, combining ultra-low mileage, Japanese provenance, and a host of carefully selected performance modifications.
