This 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 was first delivered to Newport Motors in Middletown, Rhode Island, and it was purchased by the seller’s mother from the original owner in May 2005. It is finished in Alpine White over Beige Oregon leather and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Modifications include 17″ Style 393 alloy wheels, a TC Kline suspension kit, a front shock tower brace, a StrongStrut rear suspension brace, a Bluetooth-capable Continental head unit, an Arc Audio amplifier, a JL Audio subwoofer, and Focal speakers. Additional equipment includes a dark beige convertible soft top, heated seats, a wind deflector, and air conditioning. This Z3 has 59k miles and is now offered at no reserve with a copy of the window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, a spare set of wheels, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Alpine White and features a power-operated dark beige convertible soft top, a tonneau cover, flared wheel arches, front fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets. The plastic rear window has a crease, a dent is present on the passenger-side rocker panel, and an imperfection is noted on the driver-side door.
Silver-finished 17″ Style 393 alloy wheels are mounted with Nankang Sportnex NS-25 tires, which were fitted in February 2020. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. A TC Kline suspension kit featuring Koni shocks and H&R springs has reportedly been fitted, a front shock tower brace is stationed up front, and ECS Tuning 20mm wheel spacers have been added out back. The front-lower control arms were also replaced in February 2020. A spare set of 16″ Style 55 wheels is included in the sale.
The cabin features two heated bucket seats trimmed in Beige Oregon leather, and matching leather extends to the center console and door panel inserts. The Continental head unit features Bluetooth connectivity and is linked to an Arc Audio amplifier, a JL Audio subwoofer, and Focal speakers. Additional amenities include dual roll hoops, woodgrain trim, an aftermarket cupholder, and a plexiglass wind deflector. The air conditioning system was recharged in April 2022. Wear is evident on the driver’s seat.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 155-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,200-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 59k miles, approximately 2k of which were added during current ownership.
The 2.5-liter M52TUB25 inline-six was factory rated at 170 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The water pump, thermostat, and fuel filter were replaced in December 2019, and the oil was changed in April 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. A StrongStrut rear suspension brace is said to have been fitted.
