1997 BMW Z3 Roadster

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The BMW Z3, introduced in the 1990s, symbolized BMW’s vision for the future, with its “Z” designation standing for “Zukunft,” the German word for "future." This sporty roadster also paid homage to the iconic BMW 507 roadster from the 1950s, merging historical elegance with modern design. Engineered for high-speed luxury and featuring nearly perfect weight distribution, the Z3 excelled in sharp handling and agility on twisty roads. It was notably the first vehicle produced at BMW’s new plant in Greer, South Carolina, offering a variety of engine options from four-cylinder to six-cylinder, and choices between automatic and manual transmissions, ensuring that every driving enthusiast could find their Ultimate Driving Machine in the Z3.
