2001 BMW Z3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Overview
The 2001 BMW is "far more expensive than a Miata," according to user reviews, but at the same time the sports roadster is "fun, fun, fun"...
The 2001 BMW is "far more expensive than a Miata," according to user reviews, but at the same time the sports roadster is "fun, fun, fun" to drive. One reviewer went as far to call it the "pinnacle of the Z3 line" and noted that the car is "scary fast."
Complaints were few, although some called it "the ugliest BMW ever built" while still giving it high marks for its speed, handling and performance, with one reviewer going as far as saying "I'd cook it breakfast!"
The Z3 is a race car in disguise, so the cabin is tight - or "cramped," depending on who you ask - and the car may not offer as many luxury perks as some other BMW's.
What owners say
"Overall, owners really enjoy the 2001 BMW Z3 for its exhilarating performance, acceleration, and stylish design. They highlight its fun driving experience and impressive handling. However, some drivers are not thrilled with the build quality, mentioning issues with the interior and transmission feel, and a few found practicality lacking. Despite this, many agree it's a head-turner and a joy to drive."

January 24, 2008I sold a 2000 Z3 twin to go overseas back in 2009. I just bought this one to replace it, it has under 9,000 miles and seems pretty much like new. A little wear on the top, but so far so good.
September 13, 2023i love that car it was one of the bast cars i ever had is fast and nice and womans love it. if you are looking for somthing relayble you should get the z3 and during the summer time it is so nice to drive around with it you will be getting a lot of attention.
May 3, 2014Amazing engine performance: the sound and pulling power aftet 3000RPMs is amazing. Individual throttle bodies really make the car sing. Build quality is terrible, and this goes to the engine, chassis and interior trim pieces. Transmission feels horrible: rubbery, long, too notchy Brakes are outstanding Floaty suspension, very soft. Car pitches and dives too much on braking and you're piloting a plane on take off with the way the nose of the car lifts during hard acceleration.
August 3, 2008I absolutely love my sweet little road-star, but things never can be fast enough... or you get used to it. performance is not too bad, it's a 3 litre, it's not the M though. appearance is very nice and i love the 18" borbet rims. fun factor is enormous, never get that smile out of my face...
September 10, 2008- I see it very smooth, not noises at all, inside is very comfortable with a lot of space, and the seats are very wide ,for the driver the vision is panoramic. when I drive it is stable specially on the high way, and very economic in gas
December 16, 2013I had fun test driving the M roadster. But it was not practical.
March 10, 2008The 3.0i is an incredible ride with a gorgeous design. Some parts can be hard to find so i recommend buying a Z3 in top tier shape . You won’t regret it.
