Highlights
THIS… is a 2000 BMW Z3 M Coupe, finished in Estoril Blue Metallic with a black and Estoril Blue interior.
- This M Coupe is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the odometer currently displays approximately 85,800 miles.
- This M Coupe is offered with a clean Carfax vehicle history report and has reportedly been registered to one owner since new.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes 17-inch Style 40 wheels, a limited-slip differential, Nappa leather upholstery, heated seats, and a Harman/Kardon sound system. The seller reports no notable modifications.
- Colloquially known as the Clownshoe, the Z3 Coupe joined the Z3 roadster in showrooms for 1999. Like its convertible counterpart, it used several E36-sourced parts, but it stood out with an unusual, shooting brake-like silhouette that blurred the line between a coupe and a hatchback. The M model benefited from the same 3.2-liter straight-6 as the M3.
- Power comes from an S52 3.2-liter inline-6, rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
