2002 BMW Z3 2.5i 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The BMW Z3 Roadster 2.5i debuted in North America in late 2000 as the successor to the Z3 2.3i, powered by BMW’s refined 2.5L inline‑6 M54B25 engine delivering 184 horsepower and 175 lb‑ft of torque. Housed in the E36/7 roadster chassis—built in Spartanburg, SC—it remained in production until the Z3 line ended in June 2002. The 2.5i featured a 5‑speed manual, rear‑wheel drive, and hit 0‑60 in around 6.7 seconds with a top speed near 128 mph. Known for its nimble handling, classic styling, and engaging driving dynamics, the 2002 model marked the final chapter of this iconic series, succeeded by the Z4.

Finished in Titanium Silver over supple black leather, this 2002 example was inherited by the seller in 2025 and has been properly enjoyed as a Florida-registered convertible. Highlights include heated sport seats, an M-Sport steering wheel, fog lights, and elegant interior wood trim. Recent maintenance adds confidence, with work including new lower control arms, a brake fluid flush, replacement of the fuel filter and spark plugs, and a fresh oil and filter change.

This 2002 BMW Z3 is now offered with factory owner’s manuals and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
