"Plenty of driving fun and performance for the money, with an exterior you don’t need to worry about. The latter also makes it a great value for a car that wants nothing more than to explore its limits."

"Plenty of driving fun and performance for the money, with an exterior you don’t need to worry about. The latter also makes it a great value for a car that wants nothing more than to explore its limits."

Description

It came to Sweden from Germany in the spring of 2002, with most of the modifications carried out by a previous owner there: KW suspension, wheels, exhaust system, spoiler lips, and sound system. The current owner has added Powerflex bushings and set up the chassis in a slightly more aggressive configuration (see picture).

During an exploratory track day, with a damp curb—and consequently a guardrail—the car sustained some minor damage to the hood, right front wing, right sill, and front end. The owner shows the marks with a sheepish smile, but discovering the limits of a car like this on the racetrack is really the only sensible way to uncover its true character. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on 2025-05-15.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine has a familiar sound and character that only a sharp straight-six can deliver. The gearbox also feels reassuringly precise, and the relatively new clutch (2021, at 160,000 km) engages early and firmly. The chassis is set up for a livelier feel on winding roads and for track use. That setup, together with the wider wheels, makes the car a bit twitchy in a straight line on, for example, a rutted motorway.

    The owner works with engine development at Volvo and has carried out much of the servicing himself—more frequently than required. The car is equipped with steel-braided brake hoses and new 2025 Pirelli P Zeros at the front. The owner points out a couple of minor faults worth mentioning: leaking front tire valves and an inconsistent function in the door sensor that detects when the driver’s door is closed.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice leather seats with the usual entry wear on the left side of the driver’s seat. A previous owner installed a sound system with a subwoofer in the passenger compartment, an amplifier, and extra wiring under the trunk mat. The same owner also fitted three additional gauges and painted in black vinyl the gear lever surround (originally chrome), the center storage tray (originally red), and the parking brake button (originally chrome). The AC does not blow cold, and its button/control is slightly cracked.

  • Exterior condition:

    Presentable, with an exterior that certainly conveys a potent character, though there are a few minor dents and scratches to be found. The front alignment is slightly uneven after contact with the guardrail during the track day, and the owner notes a shade difference on the repainted sections—although during our documentation we had to look closely to notice it.

  • General condition:

    Good value in a well-used but also well-cared-for condition, offering different paths to take. Build further, keep as is, or restore to original condition. Whichever direction you choose, the Z3 M Roadster is today a true classic with a distinctly raw and unfiltered driving pleasure.

Facts about the model

The BMW Z3 M Roadster was launched in 1997 as the most hardcore and powerful version of the little Z3 roadster. It received the excellent engine from the M3, a wider body, aggressive looks, and four exhaust pipes—a compact sports car with a slightly oversized heart. Production continued until 2002, and today the model is a cherished modern classic, known for its blend of charm, raw power, and just the right amount of mad driving fun.
