2001 BMW Z3 3.0 Roadster

The BMW Z3 Roadster is one of those cars that mixes charm, style, and proper driver involvement in one very tidy package, and this Dakar Yellow example, fondly known as “Snoopy,” does exactly that. Bold, bright, and full of character, it is not a colour you see every day, which makes this Z3 stand out before you have even turned the key.

Of course, a Z3 3.0 is not just about looks. Under the bonnet sits BMW’s silky-smooth 3.0-litre inline-six, paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox, giving this Roadster the kind of engaging, back-to-basics driving experience that reminds you why open-top motoring is meant to be enjoyed. Long bonnet ahead, rear-wheel drive underneath, and the wind in your hair, this is a car built for people who still love the art of driving.

This particular example shows a very appealing 86 600 km on the clock. While the original books have unfortunately been lost over its 25 years on South African roads, the current owner has confirmed that the car has received a major service under their care.

Finished in eye-catching Dakar Yellow with a black interior, this Z3 3.0 Roadster is a rare and desirable modern classic with plenty of personality. A fun, charismatic six-cylinder manual Roadster that is not to be missed.
