BMW Z3 Roadster Specifications

Muscle with manners. Thats how we describe the power and performance of the BMW Z3 roadster. Featured in two different classes: either the 2.5-litre or 3.0-litre engine.

For pure, unadulterated driving pleasure, enthusiasts have always chosen roadsters bearing the blue-and-white badge. The latest version of the Z3 roadster makes it clear we intend to keep it that way. Its in-line sixes prove that a true sports car needs the muscle to go with its sports car looks. The new top-of-the-line 3.0-litre power plants propel the Z3 from zero to one hundred in 6.0 seconds. These engines explore the full potential of roadster motoring: not only do they offer the urgency you expect of a sports car engine, they deliver it with the kind of manners you don't. Because it's not just a true roadster, above all it's a true BMW.
