EAG Impressions
The Z3 roadster marked BMW's entry into the modern sports car market, competing directly with the Mazda Miata and Mercedes-Benz SLK. Initially, European markets received a wider range of engines, including a frugal 1.8L four-cylinder. U.S. buyers, however, were offered the more powerful 1.9L four-cylinder from the outset. As the model evolved, both markets gained access to six-cylinder engines, culminating in the high-performance M Roadster and M Coupe variants. These M models featured engines derived from the E36 M3, with European versions benefiting from the more sophisticated S50 engine, while U.S. models used the less powerful S52 unit - a continuation of the performance disparity seen in the E36 M3.
Overview

The exterior presents very well overall, with consistent gloss and a clean, cohesive appearance. While the car does not retain entirely factory-original paint throughout, it has been evaluated carefully and presents as a well-kept, properly sorted example.
