About BMW Z3

The BMW Z3 is a luxury two-seat sports car from the German manufacturer BMW. It was manufactured between 1995 and 2002. The lineup included a 2-door roadster and a coupé. It was built on the 3 Series E36 platform.

The Z3 was the first mass-produced car in the Z Series, which would continue in 2002 with the BMW Z4. In addition to the standard versions, the BMW Z3 had 'M' performance versions, which were introduced in 1998. They were available in both body styles with an S50, S52, or S54 inline-six engine.

As a point of interest, the Z3 was the first BMW model manufactured exclusively outside of Germany. Its production took place in Greer, South Carolina.

During the 1990s, there were several alternatives to the BMW Z3 in the two-seat sports and convertible car market. Some of the options were the Porsche Boxster, the Audi TT, the Mercedes-Benz SLK, or the Mazda MX-5.
